CHAPTER 24
Now upon the first
day
of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre,
bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain
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
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
the mother
of James, and other
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
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
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
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
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
it,
and brake, and gave to them.
