Luke 24:1-53 LSB

Luke 24:1-53 LSB [1] Now on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared. [2] And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, [3] but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. [4] And it happened that while they were perplexed about this, behold, two men suddenly stood near them in dazzling clothing, [5] and when the women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living One among the dead? [6] He is not here, but He has risen. Remember how He spoke to you while He was still in Galilee, [7] saying that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.” [8] And they remembered His words, [9] and when they returned from the tomb, they reported all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. [10] Now Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James and the rest of the women with them were there; they were telling these things to the apostles. [11] But these words appeared to them as nonsense, and they were not believing them. [12] But Peter stood up and ran to the tomb; and stooping to look in, he saw the linen wrappings only. And he went away by himself, marveling at what had happened. [13] And behold, two of them were going that same day to a village named Emmaus, which was sixty stadia from Jerusalem. [14] And they were conversing with each other about all these things which had happened. [15] And it happened that while they were conversing and debating, Jesus Himself approached and was going with them. [16] But their eyes were prevented from recognizing Him. [17] And He said to them, “What are these words that you are discussing with one another as you are walking?” And they stood still, looking sad. [18] And one of them, named Cleopas, answered and said to Him, “Are You the only one visiting Jerusalem and unaware of the things which have happened here in these days?” [19] And He said to them, “What things?” And they said to Him, “The things about Jesus the Nazarene, who was a mighty prophet in deed and word in the sight of God and all the people, [20] and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered Him to the sentence of death, and crucified Him. [21] But we were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, it is the third day since these things happened. [22] But also some women among us astounded us. When they were at the tomb early in the morning, [23] and not finding His body, they came, saying that they had also seen a vision of angels who said that He was alive. [24] Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just exactly as the women also said, but Him they did not see.” [25] And He said to them, “O foolish ones and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! [26] Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?” [27] Then beginning with Moses and with all the prophets, He interpreted to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures. [28] And they approached the village where they were going, and He acted as though He were going farther. [29] But they urged Him strongly, saying, “Stay with us, for it is toward evening, and the day is now nearly over.” So He went in to stay with them. [30] And it happened that when He had reclined at the table with them, He took the bread and blessed it, and after breaking it, He was giving it to them. [31] Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Him. And He vanished from their sight. [32] And they said to one another, “Were not our hearts burning within us while He was speaking to us on the road, while He was opening the Scriptures to us?” [33] And they stood up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and found gathered together the eleven and those with them, [34] who were saying, “The Lord has really risen and has appeared to Simon.” [35] And they were relating their experiences on the road and how He was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread. [36] Now while they were telling these things, He Himself stood in their midst and said to them, “Peace to you.” [37] But being startled and frightened, they were thinking that they were seeing a spirit. [38] And He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? [39] See My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself; touch Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.” [40] And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet. [41] And while they still were not believing because of their joy and were still marveling, He said to them, “Have you anything here to eat?” [42] They gave Him a piece of a broiled fish, [43] and He took it and ate it before them. [44] Now He said to them, “These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things which are written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” [45] Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, [46] and He said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ would suffer and rise again from the dead the third day, [47] and that repentance for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in His name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. [48] You are witnesses of these things. [49] And behold, I am sending the promise of My Father upon you, but you are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.” [50] And He led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up His hands, He blessed them. [51] And it happened that while He was blessing them, He parted from them and was carried up into heaven. [52] And they, after worshiping Him, returned to Jerusalem with great joy, [53] and were continually in the temple blessing God.
