1Now vpon the first day of the weeke, very earely in the morning, they came vnto the Sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certaine others with them.Select Luke 24:1

2And they found the stone rolled away from the Sepulchre.Select Luke 24:2

3And they entred in, and found not the body of the Lord Iesus.Select Luke 24:3

4And it came to passe, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments.Select Luke 24:4

5And as they were afraid, and bowed downe their faces to the earth, they said vnto them, Why seek ye the liuing among the dead?Select Luke 24:5

6He is not heere, but is risen: Remember how he spake vnto you when he was yet in Galilee,Select Luke 24:6

7Saying, The Sonne of man must be deliuered into the hands of sinfull men, and be crucified, and the third day rise againe.Select Luke 24:7

8And they remembred his words,Select Luke 24:8

9And returned from the Sepulchre, and told all these things vnto the eleuen, and to all the rest.Select Luke 24:9

10It was Marie Magdalene, & Ioanna, & Mary the mother of Iames, and other women that were with them, which tolde these things vnto the Apostles.Select Luke 24:10

11And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they beleeued them not.Select Luke 24:11

12Then arose Peter, and ranne vnto the Sepulchre, and stowping downe, hee behelde the linnen clothes layd by themselues, and departed, wondering in himselfe at that which was come to passe.Select Luke 24:12

13And behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emaus, which was from Hierusalem about threescore furlongs.Select Luke 24:13

14And they talked together of all these things which had happened.Select Luke 24:14

15And it came to passe, that while they communed together, and reasoned, Iesus himselfe drew neere, and went with them.Select Luke 24:15

16But their eyes were holden, that they should not know him.Select Luke 24:16

17And he said vnto them, What maner of communications are these that yee haue one to another as yee walke, and are sad?Select Luke 24:17

18And the one of them, whose name was Cleophas, answering, saide vnto him, Art thou onely a stranger in Hierusalem, and hast not knowen the things which are come to passe there in these dayes?Select Luke 24:18

19And hee saide vnto them, What things? And they said vnto him, Concerning Iesus of Nazareth, which was a Prophet, mighty in deede and word before God, and all the people.Select Luke 24:19

20And how the chiefe Priests and our rulers deliuered him to be condemned to death, and haue crucified him.Select Luke 24:20

21But wee trusted that it had bene hee, which should haue redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.Select Luke 24:21

22Yea, and certaine women also of our company made vs astonished, which were early at the Sepulchre:Select Luke 24:22

23And when they found not his bodie, they came, saying, that they had also seene a vision of Angels, which saide that he was aliue.Select Luke 24:23

24And certaine of them which were with vs, went to the Sepulchre, and found it euen so as the women had said, but him they saw not.Select Luke 24:24

25Then hee saide vnto them, O fooles, and slow of heart to beleeue all that the Prophets haue spoken:Select Luke 24:25

26Ought not Christ to haue suffered these things, and to enter into his glorie?Select Luke 24:26

27And beginning at Moses, and all the Prophets, hee expounded vnto them in all the Scriptures, the things concerning himselfe.Select Luke 24:27

28And they drew nigh vnto the village, whither they went, and hee made as though hee would haue gone further.Select Luke 24:28

29But they constrained him, saying, Abide with vs, for it is towards euening, and the day is farre spent: And he went in, to tarrie with them.Select Luke 24:29

30And it came to passe, as hee sate at meate with them, hee tooke bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gaue to them.Select Luke 24:30

31And their eyes were opened, and they knew him, and he vanished out of their sight.Select Luke 24:31

32And they said one vnto another, Did not our heart burne within vs, while hee talked with vs by the way, and while hee opened to vs the Scriptures?Select Luke 24:32

33And they rose vp the same houre, and returned to Hierusalem, and found the eleuen gathered together, and them that were with them,Select Luke 24:33

34Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.Select Luke 24:34

35And they told what things were done in the way, & how he was knowen of them in breaking of bread.Select Luke 24:35

36And as they thus spake, Iesus himselfe stood in the midst of them, and sayeth vnto them, Peace bee vnto you.Select Luke 24:36

37But they were terrified, and afrighted, and supposed that they had seene a spirit.Select Luke 24:37

38And he said vnto them, Why are yee troubled, and why doe thoughts arise in your hearts?Select Luke 24:38

39Beholde my hands and my feete, that it is I my selfe: handle me, and see, for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me haue.Select Luke 24:39

40And when hee had thus spoken, hee shewed them his handes and his feete.Select Luke 24:40

41And while they yet beleeued not for ioy, and wondered, hee saide vnto them, Haue ye here any meat?Select Luke 24:41

42And they gaue him a piece of a broyled fish, and of an hony combe.Select Luke 24:42

43And he tooke it, and did eate before them.Select Luke 24:43

44And hee said vnto them, These are the words which I spake vnto you, while I was yet with you, þt all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the Law of Moses, & in the Prophets, and in the Psalmes concerning me.Select Luke 24:44

45Then opened he their vnderstanding, that they might vnderstand the Scriptures,Select Luke 24:45

46And said vnto them, Thus it is written, & thus it behoued Christ to suffer, & to rise from the dead the third day:Select Luke 24:46

47And that repentance and remission of sinnes should be preached in his Name, among all nations, beginning at Hierusalem.Select Luke 24:47

48And yee are witnesses of these things.Select Luke 24:48

49And behold, I send the promise of my Father vpon you: but tarie ye in the citie of Hierusalem, vntill ye be indued with power from on high.Select Luke 24:49

50And he led them out as farre as to Bethanie, and hee lift vp his hands, and blessed them.Select Luke 24:50

51And it came to passe, while hee blessed them, hee was parted from them, and caried vp into heauen.Select Luke 24:51

52And they worshipped him, and returned to Hierusalem, with great ioy:Select Luke 24:52

53And were continually in the Temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.Select Luke 24:53
