Luca 24
La Nuova Diodati
24 Ora nel primo giorno della settimana, al mattino molto presto esse, e altre donne con loro, si recarono al sepolcro, portando gli aromi che avevano preparato.
2 E trovarono che la pietra era stata rotolata dal sepolcro.
3 Ma, entrate, non trovarono il corpo del Signore Gesú.
4 E, mentre erano grandemente perplesse a questo riguardo, ecco presentarsi loro due uomini in vesti sfolgoranti.
5 Ora, essendo esse impaurite e tenendo la faccia chinata a terra, quelli dissero loro: «Perché cercate il vivente tra i morti?
6 Egli non è qui, ma è risuscitato; ricordatevi come vi parlò, mentre era ancora in Galilea,
7 dicendo che il Figlio dell'uomo doveva esser dato nelle mani di uomini peccatori, essere crocifisso e risuscitare il terzo giorno».
8 Ed esse si ricordarono delle sue parole.
9 Al loro ritorno dal sepolcro, raccontarono tutte queste cose agli undici e a tutti gli altri.
10 Or quelle che riferirono queste cose agli apostoli erano Maria Maddalena, Giovanna, Maria madre di Giacomo e le altre donne che erano con loro.
11 Ma queste parole parvero loro come un'assurdità; ed essi non credettero loro.
12 Pietro tuttavia, alzatosi, corse al sepolcro e, chinatosi a guardare, non vide altro che le lenzuola che giacevano da sole, poi se ne andò, meravigliandosi dentro di sé di quanto era accaduto.
13 In quello stesso giorno, due di loro se ne andavano verso un villaggio, di nome Emmaus, distante sessanta stadi da Gerusalemme.
14 Ed essi parlavano tra loro di tutto quello che era accaduto.
15 Or avvenne che, mentre parlavano e discorrevano insieme, Gesú stesso si accostò e si mise a camminare con loro.
16 Ma i loro occhi erano impediti dal riconoscerlo.
17 Egli disse loro: «Che discorsi sono questi che vi scambiate l'un l'altro, cammin facendo? E perché siete mesti?».
18 E uno di loro, di nome Cleopa, rispondendo, gli disse: «Sei tu l'unico forestiero in Gerusalemme, che non conosca le cose che vi sono accadute in questi giorni?».
19 Ed egli disse loro: «Quali?». Essi gli dissero: «Le cose di Gesú Nazareno, che era un profeta potente in opere e parole davanti a Dio e davanti a tutto il popolo.
20 E come i capi dei sacerdoti e i nostri magistrati lo hanno consegnato per essere condannato a morte e l'hanno crocifisso
21 Or noi speravamo che fosse lui che avrebbe liberato Israele; invece, con tutto questo, siamo già al terzo giorno da quando sono avvenute queste cose.
22 Ma anche alcune donne tra di noi ci hanno fatto stupire perché, essendo andate di buon mattino al sepolcro,
23 e non avendo trovato il suo corpo, sono tornate dicendo di aver avuto una visione di angeli, i quali dicono che egli vive.
24 E alcuni dei nostri sono andati al sepolcro e hanno trovato le cose come avevano detto le donne, ma lui non l'hanno visto».
25 Allora egli disse loro: «O insensati e tardi di cuore a credere a tutte le cose che i profeti hanno detto!
26 Non doveva il Cristo soffrire tali cose, e cosí entrare nella sua gloria?».
27 E cominciando da Mosé e da tutti i profeti, spiegò loro in tutte le Scritture le cose che lo riguardavano.
28 Come si avvicinavano al villaggio dove erano diretti, egli finse di andare oltre.
29 Ma essi lo trattennero, dicendo: «Rimani con noi, perché si fa sera e il giorno è già declinato». Egli dunque entrò per rimanere con loro.
30 E, come si trovava a tavola con loro prese il pane, lo benedisse e, dopo averlo spezzato, lo distribuí loro.
31 Allora si aprirono loro gli occhi e lo riconobbero; ma egli scomparve dai loro occhi.
32 Ed essi si dissero l'un l'altro: «Non ardeva il nostro cuore dentro di noi, mentre egli ci parlava per la via e ci apriva le Scritture?».
33 In quello stesso momento si alzarono e ritornarono a Gerusalemme, dove trovarono gli undici e quelli che erano con loro riuniti insieme.
34 Costoro dicevano: «Il Signore è veramente risorto ed è apparso a Simone».
35 Essi allora raccontarono le cose avvenute loro per via, e come lo avevano riconosciuto allo spezzar del pane.
36 Ora, mentre essi parlavano di queste cose, Gesú stesso si rese presente in mezzo a loro e disse loro: «Pace a voi!».
37 Ma essi, terrorizzati e pieni di paura, pensavano di vedere uno spirito.
38 Allora egli disse loro: «Perché siete turbati? E perché nei vostri cuori sorgono dei dubbi?
39 Guardate le mie mani e i miei piedi, perché sono io. Toccatemi e guardate, perché uno spirito non ha carne e ossa, come vedete che ho io».
40 E, detto questo, mostrò loro le mani e i piedi.
41 Ma poiché essi non credevano ancora per la gioia ed erano pieni di meraviglia, egli disse loro: «Avete qui qualcosa da mangiare?».
42 Ed essi gli diedero un pezzo di pesce arrostito e un favo di miele.
43 Ed egli li prese e mangiò in loro presenza.
44 Poi disse loro: «Queste sono le parole che vi dicevo quando ero ancora con voi: che si dovevano adempiere tutte le cose scritte a mio riguardo nella legge di Mosé, nei profeti e nei salmi».
45 Allora aprí loro la mente, perché comprendessero le Scritture,
46 e disse loro: «Cosí sta scritto, e cosí era necessario che il Cristo soffrisse e risuscitasse dai morti il terzo giorno
47 e che nel suo nome si predicasse il ravvedimento e il perdono dei peccati a tutte le genti, cominciando da Gerusalemme.
48 Or voi siete testimoni di queste cose.
49 Ed ecco, io mando su di voi la promessa del Padre mio; ma voi rimanete nella città di Gerusalemme, finché siate rivestiti di potenza dall'alto.
50 Poi li condusse fuori fino a Betania e alzate in alto le mani, li benedisse.
51 E avvenne che, mentre egli li benediceva, si separò da loro e fu portato su nel cielo.
52 Ed essi, dopo averlo adorato, tornarono a Gerusalemme con grande gioia.
53 E stavano continuamente nel tempio, lodando e benedicendo Dio. Amen!
Luke 24
King James Version
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.
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 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 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 his hands and 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 it, and did eat before them.
44 And he said unto them, These 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 in the prophets, and 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 behooved 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.
Luke 24
English Standard Version
The Resurrection
24 (A)But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, (B)taking the spices they had prepared. 2 And they found (C)the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were perplexed about this, behold, (D)two (E)men stood by them in dazzling apparel. 5 And as they were (F)frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? 6 He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, (G)while he was still in Galilee, 7 (H)that the Son of Man (I)must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and (J)be crucified and on (K)the third day rise.” 8 And (L)they remembered his words, 9 and returning from the tomb they (M)told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. 10 Now it was (N)Mary Magdalene and (O)Joanna and Mary the mother of James and the other women with them who told these things to the apostles, 11 but these words seemed to them an idle tale, and (P)they did not believe them. 12 But (Q)Peter rose and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw (R)the linen cloths by themselves; and he went home marveling at what had happened.
On the Road to Emmaus
13 That very day (S)two of them were going to a village named Emmaus, about seven miles[a] from Jerusalem, 14 and they were talking with each other about all these things that had happened. 15 While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus himself drew near and went with them. 16 (T)But their eyes were kept from recognizing him. 17 And he said to them, “What is this conversation that you are holding with each other as you walk?” And they stood still, looking sad. 18 Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?” 19 And he said to them, “What things?” And they said to him, “Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, a man who was (U)a prophet (V)mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, 20 and (W)how our chief priests and (X)rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him. 21 But we had hoped that he was (Y)the one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now (Z)the third day since these things happened. 22 Moreover, some women of our company amazed us. (AA)They were at the tomb early in the morning, 23 and (AB)when they did not find his body, they came back saying that (AC)they had even seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive. 24 (AD)Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but him they did not see.” 25 And he said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! 26 (AE)Was it not necessary that (AF)the Christ should suffer these things and enter into (AG)his glory?” 27 And (AH)beginning with (AI)Moses and (AJ)all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.
28 So they drew near to the village to which they were going. (AK)He acted as if he were going farther, 29 but they urged him strongly, saying, “Stay with us, for it is toward evening and (AL)the day is now far spent.” So he went in to stay with them. 30 When he was at table with them, he took the bread and (AM)blessed and broke it and gave it to them. 31 (AN)And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And (AO)he vanished from their sight. 32 They said to each other, (AP)“Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he (AQ)opened to us the Scriptures?” 33 And they rose that same hour and returned to Jerusalem. And they (AR)found the eleven and (AS)those who were with them gathered together, 34 saying, “The Lord has risen indeed, and (AT)has appeared to Simon!” 35 Then they told what had happened on the road, and (AU)how he was known to them in (AV)the breaking of the bread.
Jesus Appears to His Disciples
36 As they were talking about these things, (AW)Jesus himself stood among them, and said to them, “Peace to you!” 37 But they were (AX)startled and (AY)frightened and (AZ)thought they saw 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. (BA)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, (BB)he showed them his hands and his feet. 41 And while they still disbelieved (BC)for joy and were marveling, (BD)he said to them, “Have you anything here to eat?” 42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish,[b] 43 and he took it and ate before them.
44 Then he said to them, (BE)“These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, (BF)that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” 45 Then (BG)he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, 46 and said to them, “Thus (BH)it is written, (BI)that the Christ should suffer and on the third day (BJ)rise from the dead, 47 and that (BK)repentance for[c] the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed (BL)in his name (BM)to all nations, (BN)beginning from Jerusalem. 48 (BO)You are witnesses of these things. 49 And behold, I am sending (BP)the promise of my Father upon you. But stay in the city until you (BQ)are clothed with (BR)power (BS)from on high.”
The Ascension
50 And (BT)he led them out as far as (BU)Bethany, and lifting up his hands he blessed them. 51 While he blessed them, (BV)he parted from them and was carried up into heaven. 52 And they (BW)worshiped him and (BX)returned to Jerusalem (BY)with great joy, 53 and (BZ)were continually in the temple (CA)blessing God.
