在彼拉多面前受审

23 于是,众人动身把耶稣押到彼拉多那里, 指控祂说:“这人蛊惑民心,禁止百姓向凯撒纳税,又说自己是基督,是君王。”

彼拉多问耶稣:“你是犹太人的王吗?”

耶稣回答说:“如你所言。”

彼拉多转过身来,对祭司长和百姓宣布:“我查不出这人有什么罪。” 但他们坚持说:“这个人从加利利开始一直到这里,在犹太地区四处传道,煽动民心。”

彼拉多听后,问道:“祂是加利利人吗?” 他得知耶稣来自分封王希律的辖区后,便把耶稣送交希律,希律刚巧在耶路撒冷。

在希律面前受辱

希律见到耶稣,十分高兴,因为他听过耶稣的事,早就想见祂,希望看祂行神迹。 他问了耶稣许多问题,耶稣却一言不发。 10 祭司长和律法教师站在那里极力地指控耶稣。

11 希律和他的卫兵嘲弄侮辱耶稣,给祂穿上华丽的袍子,把祂押回彼拉多那里。 12 希律和彼拉多向来互相敌视,但在那一天竟化敌为友。

无辜被判死罪

13 彼拉多召来祭司长、官长和百姓, 14 对他们说:“你们带这个人来,指控祂煽动百姓造反,我当着你们的面审问了祂,却查不出祂有任何你们指控祂的罪。 15 希律也查不出祂有什么罪,所以把祂送回来了。可见,这人并没有犯什么该死的罪。 16 因此,我要惩戒祂,然后释放祂。” 17 每逢逾越节,总督总是按惯例给他们释放一个囚犯。[a]

18 这时,众人齐声呼喊:“杀掉祂!释放巴拉巴!” 19 巴拉巴是因在城里叛乱杀人而被下在监里的。

20 彼拉多想释放耶稣,便劝解他们。 21 但他们一直喊:“把祂钉在十字架上!把祂钉在十字架上!”

22 彼拉多第三次问百姓:“为什么?祂犯了什么罪?我找不出该处死祂的罪证。因此,我要惩戒祂,然后释放祂。”

23 众人却继续大声喊叫,执意要求把耶稣钉在十字架上。最后,他们的声势占了上风。 24 于是,彼拉多依照他们的要求, 25 释放了叛乱杀人的囚犯巴拉巴,并把耶稣交给他们任意处置。

钉十字架

26 他们带耶稣出去的时候,抓住从乡下来的古利奈人西门,让他背着十字架跟在耶稣后面。

27 有一大群人跟在耶稣后面,其中有不少妇女为耶稣伤心痛哭。 28 耶稣转过身来,对她们说:“耶路撒冷的女儿啊,不要为我哭,为你们自己和你们的儿女哭吧! 29 因为日子快到了,人们将说,‘不曾生育、不曾怀孕、不曾哺乳的女子有福了!’ 30 到时候,人们会向大山说,‘倒在我们身上吧!’又会对小山说,‘遮盖我们吧!’ 31 树木青葱的时候,他们尚且做这些事,树木枯干的时候,又会怎样呢?[b]

32 当时有两个罪犯和耶稣一同被押去受刑。 33 他们到了一个叫“髑髅”的地方,便把耶稣钉在十字架上,又将两个罪犯分别钉在祂左右两边。

34 耶稣祷告说:“父啊,赦免他们!因为他们不知道自己在做什么。”士兵抽签分了耶稣的衣裳。

35 百姓站着观看,官长嘲笑耶稣说:“祂救了别人,如果祂是上帝所选立的基督,让祂救自己吧!”

36 士兵们也戏弄祂,拿了些酸酒上前给祂喝, 37 又说:“如果你是犹太人的王,救救自己呀!”

38 耶稣上方有一块牌子,上面写着:“这是犹太人的王”。

39 跟耶稣同钉十字架的一个罪犯也讥笑耶稣,说:“你不是基督吗?救你自己和我们呀!”

40 另一个罪犯却责备他说:“你同样是受刑的,难道不怕上帝吗? 41 我们是罪有应得,但这个人没有犯过罪。” 42 他随即恳求耶稣:“耶稣啊,当你来执掌王权的时候,请你记得我。”

43 耶稣对他说:“我实在告诉你,今天你要和我一起在乐园里了。”

耶稣之死

44 那时大约是正午,黑暗笼罩着整个大地,一直到下午三点, 45 太阳黯然无光。忽然挂在圣殿里的幔子从中间裂成两半。 46 耶稣大声喊着说:“父啊,我将我的灵魂交在你手中。”说完,就断气了。

47 百夫长见此情形,便赞美上帝,说:“这人的确是个义人。”

48 围观的人见状,无不捶胸顿足黯然离去。 49 耶稣熟识的人和从加利利跟着祂来的妇女们都站在远处观看。

耶稣的安葬

50 有一位名叫约瑟的公会议员心地善良、为人正直, 51 住在犹太地区的亚利马太城,一直在等候上帝国的降临。他并不苟同公会的决定。 52 他去求见彼拉多,要求领取耶稣的遗体。 53 他把耶稣的遗体从十字架上取下来,用细麻布裹好,然后安放在一个从岩壁上凿出的新墓穴里。 54 当天是预备日,安息日快到了。

55 和耶稣一起从加利利来的妇女跟在约瑟后面,看到了耶稣的坟墓,并且看到祂的遗体被安放好之后, 56 便回家去预备香料和膏油。安息日到了,她们按律法的规定休息了一天。

耶稣被押交彼拉多(A)

23 众人都起来,把耶稣押到彼拉多那里, 控告他说:“我们查出这个人煽惑我们的同胞,阻止纳税给凯撒,并且自称是基督,是王。” 彼拉多问他:“你是犹太人的王吗?”耶稣回答:“你已经说了(“你已经说了”或译:“这是你说的”)。” 彼拉多对祭司长和众人说:“我在这人身上,查不出有甚么罪。” 但他们极力说:“他在犹太全地教导人,煽动群众,从加利利直到这里。”

希律王藐视耶稣

彼拉多听见了,就问耶稣是不是加利利人。 既然知道他是属于希律管辖的,就把他送回希律那里;那时希律正在耶路撒冷。 希律看见耶稣,非常欢喜,因为他曾经听过耶稣的事,早就想要见他,希望看他行个神迹。 于是他问了耶稣许多话,但耶稣甚么也不回答。 10 祭司长和经学家站着,猛烈地控告他。 11 希律和他的侍卫就藐视耶稣,戏弄他,给他穿上华丽的衣服,把他送回彼拉多那里。 12 希律和彼拉多从前原是彼此为仇,在那一天就成了朋友。

彼拉多判耶稣钉十字架(B)

13 彼拉多召集了祭司长、官长和民众, 14 对他们说:“你们把这人押到我这里来,说他煽惑群众,我已经在你们面前审讯过,在他身上一点也找不到你们控告他的罪状, 15 连希律也找不到,又把他送回我这里,可见他没有作过该死的事。 16 我要责打他,然后把他释放。”(有些抄本有第17节:“每逢节期,他必须照例给他们释放一个囚犯。”也有些抄本把这句放在第19节后) 18 众人齐声喊叫:“除掉这个人,给我们释放巴拉巴!” 19 这巴拉巴是因为在城里作乱杀人而入狱的。 20 彼拉多再向他们说明,愿意释放耶稣。 21 然而他们高声呼叫:“把他钉十字架,把他钉十字架!” 22 彼拉多第三次对他们说:“这人作过甚么恶事呢?我在他身上找不出甚么该死的罪。所以我要责打他,然后把他释放。” 23 但他们大声吵闹,要他把耶稣钉十字架,他们的声音就得了胜。 24 彼拉多就宣判,照他们的要求, 25 把他们所求那作乱杀人入狱的释放了,却把耶稣交出来,随他们的意思处理。

耶稣被钉十字架(C)

26 他们把耶稣带走的时候,抓住了一个从乡下来的古利奈人西门,把十字架放在他身上,叫他背着跟在耶稣后面。 27 一大群人跟随他,有些妇女为他捶胸痛哭。 28 耶稣转过身来对她们说:“耶路撒冷的女儿啊,不要为我哭,却要为你们自己和你们的儿女哭。 29 日子将到,人必说:‘不生育的和没有怀过胎的,也没有哺养过婴儿的有福了。’

30 那时人要对大山说:

‘倒在我们身上!’

对小山说:

‘遮盖我们!’

31 他们在青绿的树上,既然这样作;在枯干的树上,又会怎样呢?”

32 他们另外带来两个犯人,和耶稣一同处死, 33 到了那名叫“髑髅”的地方,就把耶稣钉在十字架上,也钉了那两个犯人,一左一右。 34 耶稣说:“父啊,赦免他们!因为他们不知道自己所作的是甚么。”士兵抽签,分了他的衣服。 35 群众站着观看,官长们嗤笑说:“他救了别人,如果他是基督,是 神所拣选的,让他救自己吧!” 36 士兵也上前戏弄他,拿酸酒给他喝, 37 说:“如果你是犹太人的王,救你自己吧!” 38 在耶稣的头以上有一个牌子写着:“这是犹太人的王。”

39 悬挂着的犯人中,有一个侮辱他说:“你不是基督吗?救你自己和我们吧!” 40 另一个就应声责备他说:“你是同样受刑的,还不惧怕 神吗? 41 我们是罪有应得的。我们所受的与所作的相称,然而这个人并没有作过甚么不对的事。” 42 他又对耶稣说:“耶稣啊,你得国降临的时候,求你记念我。” 43 耶稣对他说:“我实在告诉你,今天你必定同我在乐园里了。”

耶稣死时的情形(D)

44 从大约正午直到下午三点钟,遍地都黑暗了。 45 太阳没有光,圣所的幔子从当中裂开。 46 耶稣大声呼叫:“父啊,我把我的灵魂交在你手里。”说了这话,气就断了。 47 百夫长看见所发生的事,就颂赞 神,说:“这真是个义人!” 48 聚集观看的群众,看见所发生的事,都捶着胸回去了。 49 与耶稣熟悉的人,和从加利利跟随他来的妇女,都远远地站着,看这些事。

耶稣葬在坟墓里(E)

50 有一个人名叫约瑟,是个议员,为人良善公义, 51 是犹太地亚利马太城的人,一向等候 神的国,并不附和众人的计谋和行为。 52 这人去见彼拉多,求领耶稣的身体。 53 他把身体取下来,用细麻布裹好,放在从石头凿出来的坟墓里,这坟墓是从来没有葬过人的。 54 那天是预备日,安息日就要开始, 55 那些从加利利和耶稣一起来的妇女,跟着来了。她们看见了坟墓,和他的身体怎样安葬, 56 就回去预备香料和香膏。

安息日,她们遵着诫命安息。

23 And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate.

And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King.

And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it.

Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man.

And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place.

When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean.

And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time.

And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him.

Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing.

10 And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.

11 And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.

12 And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.

13 And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,

14 Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him:

15 No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him.

16 I will therefore chastise him, and release him.

17 (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)

18 And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas:

19 (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)

20 Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them.

21 But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.

22 And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go.

23 And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.

24 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.

25 And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.

26 And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.

27 And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him.

28 But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.

29 For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.

30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.

31 For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?

32 And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.

33 And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.

34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.

35 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God.

36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,

37 And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.

38 And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, This Is The King Of The Jews.

39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.

40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?

41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.

42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.

43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.

44 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.

45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.

46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.

47 Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.

48 And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned.

49 And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.

50 And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and he was a good man, and a just:

51 (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God.

52 This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.

53 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.

54 And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.

55 And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.

56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.

耶稣死里复活

24 周日黎明时分,几位妇女带着预备好的香料来到坟前, 发现墓口的大石头已经滚到旁边, 便进去,却没有看见主耶稣的遗体。 正在猜疑之间,突然有两个衣服发光的人站在旁边, 她们吓得俯伏在地。那两个人对她们说:“你们为什么在死人中找活人呢? 祂不在这里,已经复活了!记住祂在加利利对你们说的话, ‘人子必须被交在罪人的手中,被钉在十字架上,在第三天复活。’”

她们想起耶稣的话来, 便离开墓地回去把事情的经过告诉十一个使徒和其他人。 10 这些妇女就是抹大拉的玛丽亚、约亚娜、雅各的母亲玛丽亚及其他人。

11 大家听了都不相信,认为是无稽之谈。 12 彼得却起身跑到墓地,屈身往墓里张望,只见细麻布在那里,他便离开了,对发生的事大惑不解。

耶稣的显现

13 同一天,有两个门徒前往离耶路撒冷十一公里的以马忤斯村, 14 一路谈论着最近发生的一切事。 15 正谈论的时候,耶稣走过来和他们同行。 16 可是,他们认不出耶稣。

17 耶稣问他们:“你们一路上在谈论什么?”

他们停下脚步,满面愁容, 18 其中一个叫革流巴的说:“难道在耶路撒冷作客的人中,只有你不知道近日发生的大事吗?”

19 耶稣问:“什么事?”

他们说:“就是拿撒勒人耶稣的事。祂本来是个先知,在上帝和百姓面前言谈举止充满力量。 20 我们的祭司长和官长却把祂押去判了死刑,钉在十字架上。

21 “我们一直希望祂就是要拯救以色列的那位。还有,今天是事发后的第三天, 22 我们当中有几位妇女一早到耶稣的坟墓, 23 发现耶稣的遗体不见了,回来说天使曾向她们显现并告诉她们耶稣已经复活了。

24 “后来我们有几个人亲自去坟墓察看,果然像她们所说的,耶稣的遗体不见了。”

25 耶稣对他们说:“无知的人啊!为什么迟迟不肯相信先知的话呢? 26 基督岂不是要先这样受害,然后进入祂的荣耀吗?”

27 耶稣接着从摩西和众先知的记载开始,把有关自己的经文都向他们讲解明白。

28 快到以马忤斯村时,耶稣好像还要继续前行。 29 他们极力挽留祂,说:“天快黑了,时候不早了,跟我们一同住宿吧。”耶稣就和他们一起进村住下。

30 吃饭的时候,耶稣拿起饼来,祝谢后,掰开递给他们。 31 忽然他们眼睛明亮了,认出是耶稣。耶稣很快从他们眼前消失了。

32 二人彼此议论说:“一路上祂和我们说话、为我们解释圣经的时候,我们心里不是很火热吗?” 33 二人马上赶回耶路撒冷,看到十一位使徒及其同伴正聚在一起谈论: 34 “主真的复活了,祂向西门显现了。”

35 二人也把路上发生的事以及掰饼时认出主的经过述说了一遍。

36 正说的时候,耶稣出现在他们中间,说:“愿你们平安!” 37 他们又惊又怕,以为是看见了鬼魂。

38 耶稣说:“你们为什么忧心忡忡?为什么心存疑惑呢? 39 你们看我的手和脚,就知道真的是我。来摸摸看,鬼魂没有骨和肉,你们看!我有。” 40 说完,便伸出手和脚给他们看。

41 门徒又惊又喜,半信半疑。耶稣问:“你们这里有吃的吗?” 42 他们便给祂一片烤鱼, 43 祂接过鱼来在他们面前吃了。

44 耶稣对他们说:“我跟你们在一起的时候曾经说过,摩西的律法书、先知的书以及诗篇里有关我的记载都要应验。” 45 于是,耶稣开启了他们的心窍,使他们明白这些经文, 46 又对他们说:“圣经上说,基督必受害,然后在第三天从死里复活, 47 人们要奉祂的名传扬悔改、赦罪的福音,从耶路撒冷一直传遍万国。

48 “你们是这些事的见证人, 49 我要把我父所应许的赐给你们。不过,你们要留在城里,直到你们得到天上来的能力。”

耶稣升天

50 耶稣带着门徒来到伯大尼附近,举起双手为他们祝福。 51 正祝福的时候,祂就离开了他们,被接到天上去了。 52 门徒都敬拜祂,然后欢欢喜喜地回到耶路撒冷。 53 他们常在圣殿里赞美上帝。

耶稣复活(A)

24 礼拜日大清早的时候,妇女们带着预备好的香料,来到坟墓那里, 发现石头已经从坟墓辊开了, 就进去,却找不着主耶稣的身体。 她们正为此事猜疑的时候,忽然有两个人,穿著闪烁耀目的衣服,站在她们旁边。 她们害怕,把脸伏在地上。那两个人对她们说:“为甚么在死人中找活人呢? 他不在这里,已经复活了。你们应当记得他还在加利利的时候,怎样告诉你们, 说:‘人子必须被交在罪人手里,钉在十字架上,第三日复活。’” 她们就想起他的话, 于是从坟地回去,把这一切事告诉十一个使徒和其余的人。 10 那些妇女就是抹大拉的马利亚,约亚拿和雅各的母亲马利亚,以及其他在一起的妇女,她们把这些事向使徒说了。 11 使徒以为这些话是无稽之谈,就不相信。 12 彼得却起来跑到坟墓那里,屈身往里观看,只见细麻布在那里,就回去了,对所发生的事非常惊奇。

在以马午斯路上显现(B)

13 同一天,门徒中有两个人往一个叫以马午斯的村子去,那村子距耶路撒冷约十一公里; 14 他们彼此谈论所发生的这一切事。 15 正在交谈议论的时候,耶稣亲自走近他们,与他们同行, 16 但他们的眼睛却给蒙蔽了,认不出他来。 17 耶稣说:“你们走路的时候,彼此讨论的是甚么事呢?”他们就站住,面带愁容; 18 一个名叫革流巴的回答他:“在耶路撒冷作客的,难道只有你不知道这几天在那里所发生的事吗?” 19 他说:“甚么事呢?”他们说:“就是拿撒勒人耶稣的事。他是先知,在 神和众人面前,说话行事都有大能。 20 我们的祭司长和官长,竟把他交出去,判了死罪,钉在十字架上。 21 但我们素来盼望要救赎以色列的就是他。不但这样,这些事发生到今天,已经是第三天了。 22 而且我们中间有几个妇女使我们惊奇,她们清早到坟墓那里去, 23 却找不到他的身体。她们回来说看见天使显现,天使说他活了。 24 又有我们中间的几个人到坟墓那里去,所看见的正如妇女们所说的,只是没有看见他。” 25 耶稣说:“无知的人哪,先知所说的一切话,你们心里信得太迟钝了! 26 基督这样受害,然后进入他的荣耀,不是应当的吗?” 27 于是他从摩西和众先知起,把所有关于自己的经文,都给他们解释明白了。

28 他们走近要去的村子,他好象还要往前行, 29 他们强留他说:“天晚了,太阳下山了,请与我们同住吧!”他就进去与他们同住。 30 到了吃饭的时候,他拿起饼来,感谢了,擘开递给他们, 31 他们的眼睛开了,才认出是耶稣来;他却从他们面前不见了。 32 他们彼此说:“在路上他对我们说话,给我们解释圣经的时候,我们的心不是火热的吗?” 33 他们就立时起来回耶路撒冷去。在那里遇见十一个使徒和跟他们聚在一起的人, 34 说:“主果然复活了,已经向西门显现了。” 35 两个人就把在路上的事,和擘饼的时候他们怎样认出耶稣来的事,都述说了一遍。

向众门徒显现(C)

36 正说这话的时候,耶稣亲自站在他们当中,说:“愿你们平安。” 37 他们非常惊怕,以为看见了灵。 38 他说:“你们为甚么惊慌,为甚么心里疑惑呢? 39 你们看我的手、我的脚,就知道我是谁。摸我看看,灵没有骨,没有肉;你们看,我是有的。” 40 说了这话,就把手和脚给他们看。 41 他们欢喜到不敢相信,并且很惊奇。耶稣说:“你们这里有甚么吃的没有?” 42 他们就给了他一片烧鱼。 43 他接过来,在他们面前吃了。

44 主对他们说:“这就是我从前与你们同在的时候,对你们说过的话:摩西的律法、先知书和诗篇上所记关于我的一切事,都必定应验。” 45 于是他开他们的心窍,使他们明白圣经; 46 又说:“经上这样记着:基督必须受害,第三天从死人中复活。 47 人要奉他的名,传讲悔改与赦罪的道,从耶路撒冷起,直传到万国。 48 你们就是这些事的见证。 49 我要使我父的应许临到你们身上,你们当在城里等候,直到得着从上面来的能力。”

耶稣升天(参(D)

50 主带他们出去,到了伯大尼附近,举手给他们祝福。 51 正在祝福的时候,他就离开他们,被接到天上去了。 52 他们就敬拜他,欢欢喜喜地回到耶路撒冷, 53 常常在殿里称颂 神。

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.

And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.

And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:

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?

He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,

Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

And they remembered his words,

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.
