הבשורה על-פי לוקס 24
Habrit Hakhadasha/Haderekh
כד ביום ראשון השכם בבוקר לקחו הנשים את המרקחת שהכינו והלכו אל הקבר. 2 בהגיען אל המקום גילו כי הסלע הגדול שסתם את פתח הקבר הוזז ממקומו. 3 הן נכנסו פנימה, אך לא מצאו את גופתו של האדון ישוע.
4 הנשים היו במבוכה גדולה ולא הבינו מה קרה. לפתע נגלו אליהן שני אנשים לבושים גלימות מבריקות ונוצצות. 5 בפחד רב השתחוו הנשים לפני השניים. "מדוע אתן מחפשות את החי בין המתים?" שאלו השניים.
8 הנשים נזכרו בדברי ישוע 9 ומיהרו לשוב העירה, כדי לספר את החדשות לאחד-עשר התלמידים ולכל השאר. 10 (אלה הנשים שהלכו אל הקבר: מרים המגדלית, יוחנה, מרים אמו של יעקב ואחרות). 11 אולם דברי הנשים נשמעו באוזניהם כסיפור דמיוני, והם לא האמינו להן. 12 אך פטרוס קם ורץ אל הקבר. בהביטו פנימה ראה את התכריכים מונחים במקומם, אך הגופה לא הייתה שם. הוא לא הבין מה קרה ועזב את המקום.
13 באותו יום הלכו שניים מתלמידיו של ישוע בדרך המובילה לעמאוס - כפר המרוחק כאחד עשר ק"מ מירושלים. 14 בעודם משוחחים ביניהם על מות ישוע, 15 הופיע לפתע ישוע עצמו ונלווה אליהם. 16 אך השניים לא הכירוהו, כי עיניהם היו אחוזות.
17 "על מה אתם משוחחים?" שאל אותם ישוע. השניים נעצרו, וישוע ראה שפניהם הביעו צער וכאב. 18 אחד מהשניים, קליופס שמו, השיב: "אתה ודאי האדם היחיד בכל ירושלים שאינו יודע מה קרה בעיר בימים האחרונים."
19 "מה קרה בעיר?" שאל ישוע.
"אנחנו מתכוונים לישוע מנצרת," הסבירו השניים. "ישוע היה נביא שחולל נסים ונפלאות, ומורה חכם בעיני אלוהים ובעיני העם. 20 אבל ראשי הכוהנים ורבים ממנהיגנו אסרו אותו ומסרוהו לידי הרומאים, כדי שיגזרו עליו דין מוות, ואלה צלבו אותו. 21 ואילו אנחנו חשבנו וקיווינו שהוא המשיח העתיד לגאול את עם-ישראל. כל מה שסיפרנו לך קרה לפני שלושה ימים,
25 "כסילים!" קרא ישוע. "האם כל-כך קשה לכם להאמין לדברי הנביאים בכתבי-הקודש? 26 האם לא ניבאו הנביאים באופן ברור שהמשיח יסבול את העינויים הנוראים האלה, לפני שיתגלה כבודו והדרו?" 27 לאחר מכן הוא ציטט להם פסוקים מן התנ"ך והסביר להם את כל מה שנאמר עליו בכתובים, החל מבראשית וכלה בדברי הנביאים.
28 בינתיים התקרבו השלושה לעמאוס - הכפר שאליו היו מועדות פניהם. ישוע נראה כעומד להמשיך בדרכו, 29 אולם השניים הפצירו בו ללון בביתם, כי הייתה שעת ערב, וישוע נענה להזמנתם. 30 כשהתיישבו לאכול ברך ישוע על הלחם, פרס אותו והגישו להם. 31 לפתע כאילו נפקחו עיניהם, והם הכירו את ישוע. באותו רגע הוא נעלם מעיניהם.
32 השניים החלו לספר זה לזה כיצד התרגשו בשעה שישוע דיבר אליהם וביאר להם את הכתוב בתנ"ך.
33 בלי לאבד זמן קמו השניים וחזרו לירושלים, שם מצאו את אחד-עשר התלמידים ואחרים מתלמידי ישוע אשר קיבלו את פניהם בקריאה:
34 "האדון באמת קם לתחייה! הוא נגלה לפטרוס!"
35 השניים מעמאוס סיפרו כיצד נגלה ישוע גם אליהם כשהלכו בדרך, וכיצד הכירו אותו כשפרס את הלחם.
36 בשעה שדיברו הופיע ישוע בחדר וברך אותם לשלום. 37 הופעתו הבהילה אותם, כי חשבו שרוח רפאים לפניהם!
38 "מדוע נבהלתם?" שאל ישוע." מדוע אינכם מאמינים שאני הוא העומד לפניכם? 39 הביטו בידי! הביטו ברגלי! אתם יכולים לראות ללא ספק שאני הוא העומד לפניכם! געו בי והיווכחו שאינני רוח, שהרי לרוח אין בשר ועצמות כפי שיש לי!" 40 בשעה שדיבר הראה להם ישוע את נקבי המסמרים בידיו ואת הפצעים ברגליו.
41 על אף שמחתם הרבה עדיין הטילו התלמידים ספק ולא האמינו. משום כך שאל אותם ישוע: "האם יש לכם כאן משהו לאכול?" 42 הם הגישו לו חתיכת דג צלוי, 43 וישוע אכל את הדג לנגד עיניהם.
44 לאחר מכן אמר ישוע: "האם אינכם זוכרים שעוד בהיותי אתכם סיפרתי לכם שכל מה שאמרו עלי משה, הנביאים ובתהילים חייב להתקיים?" 45 ישוע פתח את לבם כדי שסוף סוף יבינו את הכתובים, 46 והוסיף: "עוד לפני זמן רב נכתב שעל המשיח להתענות, למות ולקום לתחייה ביום השלישי. 47 ועוד כתוב כי דבר אלוהים יצא אל כל העמים, החל מירושלים, וכי כל מי שיאמין בי ויחזור בתשובה יסלחו לו חטאיו. 48 אתם עדים לקיום הנבואות האלה. 49 "עתה אני עומד לשלוח אליכם את אשר הבטיח אבי. הישארו כאן בירושלים עד שיבוא רוח הקודש וימלא אתכם בכוח ובגבורה מן השמים."
50 לאחר מכן הוא הוביל אותם אל בית-עניה, שם נשא את ידיו אל השמים וברך אותם. 51 תוך כדי ברכתו נפרד מהם ישוע ועלה השמיימה.
52 התלמידים השתחוו לו וחזרו לירושלים מלאי שמחה, 53 ואת כל זמנם בילו בבית-המקדש כשהם מהללים ומברכים את האלוהים.

24 وَلكِنْ فِي الْيَوْمِ الأَوَّلِ مِنَ الأُسْبُوعِ، بَاكِراً جِدّاً، جِئْنَ إِلَى الْقَبْرِ حَامِلاتٍ الْحَنُوطَ الَّذِي هَيَّأْنَهُ. 2 فَوَجَدْنَ الْحَجَرَ قَدْ دُحْرِجَ عَنِ الْقَبْرِ. 3 وَلكِنْ لَمَّا دَخَلْنَ لَمْ يَجِدْنَ جُثْمَانَ الرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ. 4 وَفِيمَا هُنَّ مُتَحَيِّرَاتٌ فِي ذلِكَ، إِذَا رَجُلانِ بِثِيَابٍ بَرَّاقَةٍ قَدْ وَقَفَا بِجَانِبِهِنَّ. 5 فَتَمَلَّكَهُنَّ الْخَوْفُ وَنَكَّسْنَ وُجُوهَهُنَّ إِلَى الأَرْضِ. عِنْدَئِذٍ قَالَ لَهُنَّ الرَّجُلانِ: «لِمَاذَا تَبْحَثْنَ عَنِ الْحَيِّ بَيْنَ الأَمْوَاتِ؟ 6 إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ هُنَا، وَلَكِنَّهُ قَدْ قَامَ! اذْكُرْنَ مَا كَلَّمَكُمْ بِهِ إِذْ كَانَ بَعْدُ فِي الْجَلِيلِ 7 فَقَالَ: إِنَّ ابْنَ الإِنْسَانِ لابُدَّ أَنْ يُسَلَّمَ إِلَى أَيْدِي أُنَاسٍ خَاطِئِينَ، فَيُصْلَبَ، وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ يَقُومُ». 8 فَتَذَكَّرْنَ كَلامَهُ. 9 وَإِذْ رَجَعْنَ مِنَ الْقَبْرِ، أَخْبَرْنَ الأَحَدَ عَشَرَ وَالآخَرِينَ كُلَّهُمْ بِهذِهِ الأُمُورِ جَمِيعاً. 10 وَكَانَتِ اللَّوَاتِي أَخْبَرْنَ الرُّسُلَ بِذلِكَ هُنَّ مَرْيَمُ الْمَجْدَلِيَّةُ، وَيُوَنَّا، وَمَرْيَمُ أُمُّ يَعْقُوبَ، وَالأُخْرَيَاتُ اللَّوَاتِي ذَهَبْنَ مَعَهُنَّ. 11 فَبَدَا كَلامُهُنَّ فِي نَظَرِ الرُّسُلِ كَأَنَّهُ هَذَيَانٌ، وَلَمْ يُصَدِّقُوهُنَّ. 12 إِلّا أَنَّ بُطْرُسَ قَامَ وَرَكَضَ إِلَى الْقَبْرِ، وَإِذِ انْحَنَى رَأَى الأَكْفَانَ الْمَلْفُوفَةَ وَحْدَهَا، ثُمَّ مَضَى مُتَعَجِّباً مِمَّا حَدَثَ.

13 وَكَانَ اثْنَانِ مِنْهُمْ مُنْطَلِقَيْنِ فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ إِلَى قَرْيَةٍ تَبْعُدُ سِتِّينَ غَلْوَةً (نَحْوَ سَبْعَةِ أَمْيَالٍ) عَنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ، اسْمُهَا عِمْوَاسُ. 14 وَكَانَا يَتَحَدَّثَانِ عَنْ جَمِيعِ مَا حَدَثَ 15 وَبَيْنَمَا هُمَا يَتَحَدَّثَانِ وَيَتَبَاحَثَانِ، إِذَا يَسُوعُ نَفْسُهُ قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ إِلَيْهِمَا وَسَارَ مَعَهُمَا. 16 وَلكِنَّ أَعْيُنَهُمَا حُجِبَتْ عَنْ مَعْرِفَتِهِ. 17 وَسَأَلَهُمَا: «أَيُّ حَدِيثٍ يَجْرِي بَيْنَكُمَا وَأَنْتُمَا سَائِرَانِ؟» فَتَوَقَّفَا عَابِسَيْنِ. 18 وَأَجَابَ أَحَدُهُمَا، وَاسْمُهُ كَلْيُوبَاسُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَأَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ الْغَرِيبُ النَّازِلُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَلا تَعْلَمُ بِمَا حَدَثَ فِيهَا فِي هذِهِ الأَيَّامِ؟» 19 فَقَالَ لَهُمَا: «مَاذَا حَدَثَ؟» فَقَالا: «مَا حَدَثَ لِيَسُوعَ النَّاصِرِيِّ الَّذِي كَانَ نَبِيًّا مُقْتَدِراً فِي الْفِعْلِ وَالْقَوْلِ أَمَامَ اللهِ وَالشَّعْبِ كُلِّهِ، 20 وَكَيْفَ سَلَّمَهُ رُؤَسَاءُ الْكَهَنَةِ وَحُكَّامُنَا إِلَى عُقُوبَةِ الْمَوْتِ وَصَلَبُوهُ. 21 وَلَكِنَّنَا كُنَّا نَرْجُو أَنَّهُ الْمُوشِكُ أَنْ يَفْدِيَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَمَعَ هَذَا كُلِّهِ، فَالْيَوْمَ هُوَ الْيَوْمُ الثَّالِثُ مُنْذُ حُدُوثِ ذلِكَ. 22 عَلَى أَنَّ بَعْضَ النِّسَاءِ مِنَّا أَذْهَلْنَنَا، إِذْ قَصَدْنَ إِلَى الْقَبْرِ بَاكِراً 23 وَلَمْ يَجِدْنَ جُثْمَانَهُ، فَرَجَعْنَ وَقُلْنَ لَنَا إِنَّهُنَّ شَاهَدْنَ رُؤْيَا: مَلاكَيْنِ يَقُولانِ إِنَّهُ حَيٌّ. 24 فَذَهَبَ بَعْضُ الَّذِينَ مَعَنَا إِلَى الْقَبْرِ فَوَجَدُوا الأَمْرَ صَحِيحاً عَلَى حَدِّ مَا قَالَتِ النِّسَاءُ أَيْضاً، وَأَمَّا هُوَ فَلَمْ يَرَوْهُ!» 25 فَقَالَ لَهُمَا: «يَا قَلِيلَيِ الْفَهْمِ وَبَطِيئَيِ الْقَلْبِ فِي الإِيمَانِ بِجَمِيعِ مَا تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ الأَنْبِيَاءُ! 26 أَمَا كَانَ لابُدَّ أَنْ يُعَانِيَ الْمَسِيحُ هذِهِ الآلامَ ثُمَّ يَدْخُلَ إِلَى مَجْدِهِ؟» 27 ثُمَّ أَخَذَ يُفَسِّرُ لَهُمَا، مُنْطَلِقاً مِنْ مُوسَى وَمِنَ الأَنْبِيَاءِ جَمِيعاً، مَا وَرَدَ عَنْهُ فِي جَمِيعِ الْكُتُبِ.
28 ثُمَّ اقْتَرَبُوا مِنَ الْقَرْيَةِ الَّتِي كَانَ التِّلْمِيذَانِ يَقْصِدَانِهَا، وَتَظَاهَرَ هُوَ بِأَنَّهُ ذَاهِبٌ إِلَى مَكَانٍ أَبْعَدَ. 29 فَأَلَحَّا عَلَيْهِ قَائِلَيْنِ: «انْزِلْ عِنْدَنَا، فَقَدْ مَالَ النَّهَارُ وَاقْتَرَبَ الْمَسَاءُ». فَدَخَلَ لِيَنْزِلَ عِنْدَهُمَا. 30 وَلَمَّا اتَّكَأَ مَعَهُمَا، أَخَذَ الْخُبْزَ، وَبَارَكَ، وَكَسَّرَ، وَأَعْطَاهُمَا. 31 فَانْفَتَحَتْ أَعْيُنُهُمَا وَعَرَفَاهُ. ثُمَّ اخْتَفَى عَنْهُمَا. 32 فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا لِلآخَرِ: «أَمَا كَانَ قَلْبُنَا يَلْتَهِبُ فِي صُدُورِنَا فِيمَا كَانَ يُحَدِّثُنَا فِي الطَّرِيقِ وَيَشْرَحُ لَنَا الْكُتُبَ؟» 33 ثُمَّ قَامَا فِي تِلْكَ السَّاعَةِ عَيْنِهَا، وَرَجَعَا إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، فَوَجَدَا الأَحَدَ عَشَرَ وَالَّذِينَ مَعَهُمْ مُجْتَمِعِينَ، 34 وَكَانُوا يَقُولُونُ: «حَقّاً إِنَّ الرَّبَّ قَامَ، وَقَدْ ظَهَرَ لِسِمْعَانَ». 35 فَأَخْبَرَاهُمْ بِمَا حَدَثَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ، وَكَيْفَ عَرَفَا الرَّبَّ عِنْدَ كَسْرِ الْخُبْزِ.

36 وَفِيمَا هُمَا يَتَكَلَّمَانِ بِذَلِكَ، وَقَفَ يَسُوعُ نَفْسُهُ فِي وَسَطِهِمْ، وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «سَلامٌ لَكُمْ!» 37 وَلكِنَّهُمْ، لِذُعْرِهِمْ وَخَوْفِهِمْ، تَوَهَّمُوا أَنَّهُمْ يَرَوْنَ شَبَحاً. 38 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «مَا بَالُكُمْ مُضْطَرِبِينَ؟ وَلِمَاذَا تَنْبَعِثُ الشُّكُوكُ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ؟ 39 انْظُرُوا يَدَيَّ وَقَدَمَيَّ، فَأَنَا هُوَ بِنَفْسِي. الْمِسُونِي وَتَحَقَّقُوا، فَإِنَّ الشَّبَحَ لَيْسَ لَهُ لَحْمٌ وَعِظَامٌ كَمَا تَرَوْنَ لِي». 40 وَإِذْ قَالَ ذَلِكَ، أَرَاهُمْ يَدَيْهِ وَقَدَمَيْهِ. 41 وَإِذْ مَازَالُوا غَيْرَ مُصَدِّقِينَ مِنَ الْفَرَحِ وَمُتَعَجِّبِينَ، قَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَعِنْدَكُمْ هُنَا مَا يُؤْكَلُ؟» 42 فَنَاوَلُوهُ قِطْعَةَ سَمَكٍ مَشْوِيٍّ. 43 فَأَخَذَهَا أَمَامَهُمْ وَأَكَلَ.
44 ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ: «هَذَا هُوَ الكَلامُ الَّذِي كَلَّمْتُكُمْ بِهِ وَأَنَا مَازِلْتُ بَيْنَكُمْ: أَنَّهُ لابُدَّ أَنْ يَتِمَّ كُلُّ مَا كُتِبَ عَنِّي فِي شَرِيعَةِ مُوسَى وَكُتُبِ الأَنْبِيَاءِ وَالْمَزَامِيرِ». 45 ثُمَّ فَتَحَ أَذْهَانَهُمْ لِيَفْهَمُوا الْكُتُبَ، 46 وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «هكَذَا قَدْ كُتِبَ، وَهكَذَا كَانَ لابُدَّ أَنْ يَتَأَلَّمَ الْمَسِيحُ وَيَقُومَ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَمْوَاتِ فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ، 47 وَأَنْ يُبَشَّرَ بِاسْمِهِ بِالتَّوْبَةِ وَغُفْرَانِ الْخَطَايَا فِي جَمِيعِ الأُمَمِ انْطِلاقاً مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ. 48 وَأَنْتُمْ شُهُودٌ عَلَى هذِهِ الأُمُورِ. 49 وَهَا أَنَا سَأُرْسِلُ إِلَيْكُمْ مَا وَعَدَ بِهِ أَبِي. وَلَكِنْ أَقِيمُوا فِي الْمَدِينَةِ حَتَّى تُلْبَسُوا الْقُوَّةَ مِنَ الأَعَالِي!»
الصعود
50 ثُمَّ اقْتَادَهُمْ إِلَى خَارِجِ الْمَدِينَةِ إِلَى بَيْتِ عَنْيَا. وَبَارَكَهُمْ رَافِعاً يَدَيْهِ. 51 وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ يُبَارِكُهُمْ، انْفَصَلَ عَنْهُمْ وَأُصْعِدَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ 52 فَسَجَدُوا لَهُ، ثُمَّ رَجَعُوا إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ بِفَرَحٍ عَظِيمٍ، 53 وَكَانُوا يَذْهَبُونَ دَائِماً إِلَى الْهَيْكَلِ، حَيْثُ يُسَبِّحُونَ اللهَ وَيُبَارِكُونَهُ.
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
New King James Version
He Is Risen(A)
24 Now (B)on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they, [a]and certain other women with them, came to the tomb (C)bringing the spices which they had prepared. 2 (D)But they found the stone rolled away from the tomb. 3 (E)Then they went in and did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 And it happened, as they were [b]greatly perplexed about this, that (F)behold, two men stood by them in shining garments. 5 Then, as they were afraid and bowed their faces to the earth, they said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? 6 He is not here, but is risen! (G)Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee, 7 saying, ‘The Son of Man must be (H)delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.’ ”
8 And (I)they remembered His words. 9 (J)Then they returned from the tomb and told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. 10 It was Mary Magdalene, (K)Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them, who told these things to the apostles. 11 (L)And their words seemed to them like [c]idle tales, and they did not believe them. 12 (M)But Peter arose and ran to the tomb; and stooping down, he saw the linen cloths [d]lying by themselves; and he departed, marveling to himself at what had happened.
The Road to Emmaus(N)
13 (O)Now behold, two of them were traveling that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was [e]seven miles from Jerusalem. 14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened. 15 So it was, while they conversed and reasoned, that (P)Jesus Himself drew near and went with them. 16 But (Q)their eyes were restrained, so that they did not know Him.
17 And He said to them, “What kind of conversation is this that you have with one another as you [f]walk and are sad?”
18 Then the one (R)whose name was Cleopas answered and said to Him, “Are You the only stranger in Jerusalem, and have You not known the things which happened there in these days?”
19 And He said to them, “What things?”
So they said to Him, “The things concerning Jesus of Nazareth, (S)who was a Prophet (T)mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, 20 (U)and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered Him to be condemned to death, and crucified Him. 21 But we were hoping (V)that it was He who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, today is the third day since these things happened. 22 Yes, and (W)certain women of our company, who arrived at the tomb early, astonished us. 23 When they did not find His body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels who said He was alive. 24 And (X)certain 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 Then He said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! 26 (Y)Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into His (Z)glory?” 27 And beginning at (AA)Moses and (AB)all the Prophets, He [g]expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.

28 Then they drew near to the village where they were going, and (AC)He [h]indicated that He would have gone farther. 29 But (AD)they constrained Him, saying, (AE)“Abide with us, for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent.” And He went in to stay with them.
30 Now it came to pass, as (AF)He sat at the table with them, that He took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. 31 Then their eyes were opened and they knew Him; and He vanished from their sight.
32 And they said to one another, “Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?” 33 So they rose up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together, 34 saying, “The Lord is risen indeed, and (AG)has appeared to Simon!” 35 And they told about the things that had happened on the road, and how He was [i]known to them in the breaking of bread.
Jesus Appears to His Disciples(AH)
36 (AI)Now as they said these things, Jesus Himself stood in the midst of them, and said to them, “Peace to you.” 37 But they were terrified and frightened, and supposed they had seen (AJ)a spirit. 38 And He said to them, “Why are you troubled? And why do doubts arise in your hearts? 39 Behold My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself. (AK)Handle Me and see, for a (AL)spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have.”
40 [j]When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet. 41 But while they still did not believe (AM)for joy, and marveled, He said to them, (AN)“Have you any food here?” 42 So they gave Him a piece of a broiled fish [k]and some honeycomb. 43 (AO)And He took it and ate in their presence.
The Scriptures Opened
44 Then He said to them, (AP)“These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me.” 45 And (AQ)He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures.
46 Then He said to them, (AR)“Thus it is written, [l]and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, 47 and that repentance and (AS)remission of sins should be preached in His name (AT)to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 48 And (AU)you are witnesses of these things. 49 (AV)Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city [m]of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.”
The Ascension(AW)
50 And He led them out (AX)as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them. 51 (AY)Now it came to pass, while He blessed them, that He was parted from them and carried up into heaven. 52 (AZ)And they worshiped Him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy, 53 and were continually (BA)in the temple [n]praising and blessing God. [o]Amen.
