Luke - Chapter 24 | King James Version (KJV)

  • 1. Now upon the first {cf15I day} of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain {cf15I others} with them.
  • 2. And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
  • 3. And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
  • 4. And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:
  • 5. And as they were afraid, and bowed down {cf15I their} faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?
  • 6. He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,
  • 7. Saying, 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 returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.
  • 10. It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary {cf15I the mother} of James, and other {cf15I women that were} with them, which told these things unto the apostles.
  • 11. And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.
  • 12. Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.
  • 13. And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem {cf15I about} threescore furlongs.
  • 14. And they talked together of all these things which had happened.
  • 15. And it came to pass, that, while they communed {cf15I together} and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.
  • 16. But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.
  • 17. And he said unto them, What manner of communications {cf15I are} these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?
  • 18. And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?
  • 19. And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:
  • 20. And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.
  • 21. But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.
  • 22. Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;
  • 23. And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.
  • 24. And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found {cf15I it} even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.
  • 25. Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
  • 26. Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
  • 27. And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
  • 28. And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.
  • 29. But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.
  • 30. And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed {cf15I it}, and brake, and gave to them.
  • 31. And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.
  • 32. And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?
  • 33. And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,
  • 34. Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
  • 35. And they told what things {cf15I were done} in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.
  • 36. And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace {cf15I be} unto you.
  • 37. But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
  • 38. And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
  • 39. Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
  • 40. And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them {cf15I his} hands and {cf15I his} feet.
  • 41. And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?
  • 42. And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.
  • 43. And he took {cf15I it}, and did eat before them.
  • 44. And he said unto them, These {cf15I are} the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and {cf15I in} the prophets, and {cf15I in} the psalms, concerning me.
  • 45. Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
  • 46. And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
  • 47. And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
  • 48. And ye are witnesses of these things.
  • 49. And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
  • 50. And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.
  • 51. And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.
  • 52. And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:
  • 53. And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
