耶穌復活(A)

24 七日的第一日,黎明的時候,那些婦女帶着所預備的香料來到墳墓那裏, 發現石頭已經從墳墓滾開了, 她們就進去,只是不見主耶穌的身體。 正在為這事困惑的時候,忽然有兩個人站在旁邊,衣服放光。 婦女們非常害怕,就俯伏在地上。那兩個人對她們說:「為甚麼在死人中找活人呢? 他不在這裏,已經復活了。要記得他還在加利利的時候怎樣告訴你們的, 他說:『人子必須被交在罪人手裏,釘在十字架上,第三天復活。』」 她們就想起耶穌的話來。 於是她們從墳墓那裏回去,把這一切事告訴十一個使徒和其餘的人。 10 把這些事告訴使徒的有抹大拉馬利亞約亞拿,和雅各的母親馬利亞,還有跟她們在一起的婦女。 11 她們這些話,使徒以為是胡言,就不相信。 12 彼得起來,跑到墳墓前,俯身往裏看,只見細麻布,就回去了,因所發生的事而心裏驚訝。

在去以馬忤斯的路上(B)

13 同一天,門徒中有兩個人往一個村子去;這村子名叫以馬忤斯,離耶路撒冷約有二十五里[a] 14 他們彼此談論所發生的這一切事。 15 正交談議論的時候,耶穌親自走近他們,和他們同行, 16 可是他們的眼睛模糊了,沒認出他。 17 耶穌對他們說:「你們一邊走一邊談,彼此談論的是甚麼事呢?」他們就站住,臉上帶着愁容。 18 兩人中有一個名叫革流巴的回答:「你是在耶路撒冷的旅客中,惟一還不知道這幾天在那裏發生了甚麼事的人嗎?」 19 耶穌對他們說:「甚麼事呢?」他們對他說:「就是拿撒勒人耶穌的事。他是個先知,在 神和眾百姓面前,說話行事都大有能力。 20 祭司長們和我們的官長竟把他解去,定了死罪,釘在十字架上。 21 但我們素來所盼望要救贖以色列民的就是他。不但如此,這些事發生到現在已經三天了。 22 還有,我們中間的幾個婦女使我們驚奇:她們清早去了墳墓, 23 不見他的身體,就回來告訴我們,說她們看見了天使顯現,說他活了。 24 又有我們的幾個人往墳墓那裏去,所發現的正如婦女們所說的,只是沒有看見他。」 25 耶穌對他們說:「無知的人哪,先知所說的一切話,你們的心信得太遲鈍了。 26 基督不是必須受這些苦難,然後進入他的榮耀嗎?」 27 於是,他從摩西和眾先知起,凡經上所指着自己的話都給他們作了解釋。

28 他們走近所要去的村子,耶穌好像還要往前走, 29 他們卻強留他說:「時候晚了,天快黑了,請你同我們住下吧。」耶穌就進去,要同他們住下。 30 坐下來和他們用餐的時候,耶穌拿起餅來,祝福了,擘開,遞給他們。 31 他們的眼睛開了,這才認出他來。耶穌卻從他們眼前消失了。 32 他們彼此說:「在路上他和我們說話,給我們講解聖經的時候,我們的心在我們裏面[b]豈不是火熱的嗎?」

33 於是他們立刻起身,回耶路撒冷去,看見十一個使徒和與他們正在一起的人聚集在一處, 34 說:「主果然復活了,已經顯現給西門看了。」 35 於是,兩個人把路上所遇到,和耶穌擘餅的時候怎麼被他們認出來的事,都述說了一遍。

向門徒顯現(C)

36 正說這些話的時候,耶穌親自站在他們當中,說:「願你們平安!」 37 他們卻驚慌害怕,以為所看見的是魂。 38 耶穌對他們說:「你們為甚麼驚恐不安?為甚麼心裏起疑惑呢? 39 你們看我的手和我的腳,就知道實在是我了。摸摸我,看,因為魂無骨無肉,你們看,我是有的。」 40 說了這話,他就把手和腳給他們看。 41 他們還在又驚又喜、不敢相信的時候,耶穌對他們說:「你們這裏有甚麼吃的沒有?」 42 他們給了他一片烤魚, 43 他接過來,在他們面前吃了。

44 耶穌對他們說:「這就是我從前和你們同在時所告訴你們的話:摩西的律法、先知的書,和《詩篇》上所記一切指着我的話都必須應驗。」 45 於是耶穌開他們的心竅,使他們能明白聖經, 46 又對他們說:「照經上所寫的,基督必受害,第三天從死人中復活, 47 並且人們要奉他的名傳悔改、使罪得赦的道,從耶路撒冷起直傳到萬邦。 48 你們就是這些事的見證。 49 我要將我父所應許的降在你們身上,你們要在城裏等候,直到你們領受從上面來的能力。」

耶穌升天(D)

50 耶穌領他們出來,直到伯大尼附近,就舉手給他們祝福。 51 正祝福的時候,他離開他們,被帶到天上去了。 52 他們就拜他,帶着極大的喜樂回耶路撒冷去, 53 常在聖殿裏稱頌 神。

Jesus Has Risen(A)

24 On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared(B) and went to the tomb. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.(C) While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning(D) stood beside them. In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee:(E) ‘The Son of Man(F) must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’(G) Then they remembered his words.(H)

When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others. 10 It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them(I) who told this to the apostles.(J) 11 But they did not believe(K) the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense. 12 Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. Bending over, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves,(L) and he went away,(M) wondering to himself what had happened.

On the Road to Emmaus

13 Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles[a] from Jerusalem.(N) 14 They were talking with each other about everything that had happened. 15 As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them;(O) 16 but they were kept from recognizing him.(P)

17 He asked them, “What are you discussing together as you walk along?”

They stood still, their faces downcast. 18 One of them, named Cleopas,(Q) asked him, “Are you the only one visiting Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?”

19 “What things?” he asked.

“About Jesus of Nazareth,”(R) they replied. “He was a prophet,(S) powerful in word and deed before God and all the people. 20 The chief priests and our rulers(T) handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him; 21 but we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel.(U) And what is more, it is the third day(V) since all this took place. 22 In addition, some of our women amazed us.(W) They went to the tomb early this morning 23 but didn’t find his body. They came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who said he was alive. 24 Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see Jesus.”(X)

25 He said to them, “How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken! 26 Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?”(Y) 27 And beginning with Moses(Z) and all the Prophets,(AA) he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.(AB)

28 As they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus continued on as if he were going farther. 29 But they urged him strongly, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them.

30 When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it(AC) and began to give it to them. 31 Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him,(AD) and he disappeared from their sight. 32 They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us(AE) while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures(AF) to us?”

33 They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, assembled together 34 and saying, “It is true! The Lord(AG) has risen and has appeared to Simon.”(AH) 35 Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread.(AI)

Jesus Appears to the Disciples

36 While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.”(AJ)

37 They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost.(AK) 38 He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds? 39 Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see;(AL) a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”

40 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet. 41 And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” 42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43 and he took it and ate it in their presence.(AM)

44 He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you:(AN) Everything must be fulfilled(AO) that is written about me in the Law of Moses,(AP) the Prophets(AQ) and the Psalms.”(AR)

45 Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. 46 He told them, “This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer(AS) and rise from the dead on the third day,(AT) 47 and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name(AU) to all nations,(AV) beginning at Jerusalem.(AW) 48 You are witnesses(AX) of these things. 49 I am going to send you what my Father has promised;(AY) but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”

The Ascension of Jesus

50 When he had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany,(AZ) he lifted up his hands and blessed them. 51 While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up into heaven.(BA) 52 Then they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy. 53 And they stayed continually at the temple,(BB) praising God.

  1. Luke 24:13 Or about 11 kilometers

La resurrección

24 El domingo,[a] muy temprano por la mañana, las mujeres fueron a la tumba, llevando las especias que habían preparado. Encontraron que la piedra de la entrada estaba corrida a un costado. Entonces entraron, pero no encontraron el cuerpo del Señor Jesús. Mientras estaban allí perplejas, de pronto aparecieron dos hombres vestidos con vestiduras resplandecientes.

Las mujeres quedaron aterradas y se inclinaron rostro en tierra. Entonces los hombres preguntaron: «¿Por qué buscan entre los muertos a alguien que está vivo? ¡Él no está aquí! ¡Ha resucitado! Recuerden lo que les dijo en Galilea, que el Hijo del Hombre[b] debía ser traicionado y entregado en manos de hombres pecadores, y ser crucificado, y que resucitaría al tercer día».

Entonces ellas recordaron lo que Jesús había dicho. Así que regresaron corriendo de la tumba a contarles a los once discípulos y a todos los demás lo que había sucedido. 10 Fueron María Magdalena, Juana, María la madre de Santiago y varias mujeres más quienes contaron a los apóstoles lo que pasó. 11 Pero a los hombres el relato les pareció una tontería, y no les creyeron. 12 Sin embargo, Pedro se levantó de un salto y corrió a la tumba para ver por sí mismo. Agachándose, miró hacia adentro y vio solo los lienzos de lino, vacíos; luego regresó a la casa, preguntándose qué habría ocurrido.

De camino a Emaús

13 Ese mismo día, dos de los seguidores de Jesús iban camino al pueblo de Emaús, a unos once kilómetros[c] de Jerusalén. 14 Al ir caminando, hablaban acerca de las cosas que habían sucedido. 15 Mientras conversaban y hablaban, de pronto Jesús mismo se apareció y comenzó a caminar con ellos; 16 pero Dios impidió que lo reconocieran.

17 Él les preguntó:

—¿De qué vienen discutiendo tan profundamente por el camino?

Se detuvieron de golpe, con sus rostros cargados de tristeza. 18 Entonces uno de ellos, llamado Cleofas, contestó:

—Tú debes de ser la única persona en Jerusalén que no oyó acerca de las cosas que han sucedido allí en los últimos días.

19 —¿Qué cosas? —preguntó Jesús.

—Las cosas que le sucedieron a Jesús, el hombre de Nazaret—le dijeron—. Era un profeta que hizo milagros poderosos, y también era un gran maestro a los ojos de Dios y de todo el pueblo. 20 Sin embargo, los principales sacerdotes y otros líderes religiosos lo entregaron para que fuera condenado a muerte, y lo crucificaron. 21 Nosotros teníamos la esperanza de que fuera el Mesías que había venido para rescatar a Israel. Todo esto sucedió hace tres días.

22 »No obstante, algunas mujeres de nuestro grupo de seguidores fueron a su tumba esta mañana temprano y regresaron con noticias increíbles. 23 Dijeron que el cuerpo había desaparecido y que habían visto a ángeles, quienes les dijeron ¡que Jesús está vivo! 24 Algunos de nuestros hombres corrieron para averiguarlo, y efectivamente el cuerpo no estaba, tal como las mujeres habían dicho.

25 Entonces Jesús les dijo:

—¡Qué necios son! Les cuesta tanto creer todo lo que los profetas escribieron en las Escrituras. 26 ¿Acaso no profetizaron claramente que el Mesías tendría que sufrir todas esas cosas antes de entrar en su gloria?

27 Entonces Jesús los guio por los escritos de Moisés y de todos los profetas, explicándoles lo que las Escrituras decían acerca de él mismo.

28 Para entonces ya estaban cerca de Emaús y del final del viaje. Jesús hizo como que iba a seguir adelante, 29 pero ellos le suplicaron: «Quédate con nosotros esta noche, ya que se está haciendo tarde». Entonces los acompañó a la casa. 30 Al sentarse a comer,[d] tomó el pan y lo bendijo. Luego lo partió y se lo dio a ellos. 31 De pronto, se les abrieron los ojos y lo reconocieron. Y, en ese instante, Jesús desapareció.

32 Entonces se dijeron el uno al otro: «¿No ardía nuestro corazón cuando nos hablaba en el camino y nos explicaba las Escrituras?». 33 En menos de una hora, estaban de regreso a Jerusalén. Allí encontraron a los once discípulos y a los otros que se habían reunido con ellos, 34 quienes decían: «¡El Señor ha resucitado de verdad! Se le apareció a Pedro[e]».

Jesús se aparece a los discípulos

35 Luego los dos de Emaús les contaron cómo Jesús se les había aparecido mientras iban por el camino y cómo lo habían reconocido cuando partió el pan. 36 Entonces, justo mientras contaban la historia, de pronto Jesús mismo apareció de pie en medio de ellos. «La paz sea con ustedes», les dijo. 37 Pero todos quedaron asustados y temerosos; ¡pensaban que veían un fantasma!

38 «¿Por qué están asustados?—les preguntó—. ¿Por qué tienen el corazón lleno de dudas? 39 Miren mis manos. Miren mis pies. Pueden ver que de veras soy yo. Tóquenme y asegúrense de que no soy un fantasma, pues los fantasmas no tienen cuerpo, como ven que yo tengo». 40 Mientras hablaba, él les mostró sus manos y sus pies.

41 Aun así, ellos seguían sin creer, llenos de alegría y asombro. Entonces les preguntó: «¿Tienen aquí algo para comer?». 42 Le dieron un pedazo de pescado asado, 43 y él lo comió mientras ellos miraban.

44 Entonces dijo: «Cuando estaba con ustedes antes, les dije que tenía que cumplirse todo lo escrito acerca de mí en la ley de Moisés, en los profetas y en los Salmos». 45 Entonces les abrió la mente para que entendieran las Escrituras, 46 y dijo: «Efectivamente, se escribió hace mucho tiempo que el Mesías debería sufrir, morir y resucitar al tercer día. 47 También se escribió que este mensaje se proclamaría con la autoridad de su nombre a todas las naciones,[f] comenzando con Jerusalén: “Hay perdón de pecados para todos los que se arrepientan”. 48 Ustedes son testigos de todas estas cosas.

49 »Ahora enviaré al Espíritu Santo, tal como prometió mi Padre; pero quédense aquí en la ciudad hasta que el Espíritu Santo venga y los llene con poder del cielo».

La ascensión

50 Entonces Jesús los llevó a Betania, levantó sus manos al cielo y los bendijo. 51 Mientras los bendecía, los dejó y fue levantado al cielo. 52 Entonces ellos lo adoraron y regresaron a Jerusalén llenos de gran alegría; 53 y pasaban todo su tiempo en el templo, adorando a Dios.

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. (D)But they found the stone rolled away from the tomb. (E)Then they went in and did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. And it happened, as they were [b]greatly perplexed about this, that (F)behold, two men stood by them in shining garments. 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? He is not here, but is risen! (G)Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee, saying, ‘The Son of Man must be (H)delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.’

And (I)they remembered His words. (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.

The Disciples’ Eyes Opened

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.

The Resurrection

24 (A)But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared. And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of (B)the Lord Jesus. While they were perplexed about this, behold, (C)two men suddenly (D)stood near them in gleaming clothing; and as [a]the women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why are you seeking the living One among the dead? He is not here, but He (E)has [b]risen. Remember how He spoke to you (F)while He was still in Galilee, saying that (G)the Son of Man must be handed over to sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise from the dead.” And (H)they remembered His words, and returned from the tomb and reported all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest. 10 Now these women were (I)Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James; also the other women with them were telling these things to (J)the apostles. 11 But these words appeared [c]to them as nonsense, and they (K)would not believe [d]the women. 12 Nevertheless, Peter got up and (L)ran to the tomb; and when he stooped and looked in, he *saw the linen wrappings [e]only; and he went away (M)to his [f]home, marveling at what had happened.

The Road to Emmaus

13 And behold, on that very day (N)two of them were going to a village named Emmaus, which was [g]sixty stadia from Jerusalem. 14 And they were talking with each other about all these things which had taken place. 15 While they were talking and discussing, Jesus Himself approached and began traveling with them. 16 But (O)their eyes were kept from recognizing Him. 17 And He said to them, “What are these words that you are exchanging with one another as you are walking?” And they came to a stop, looking sad. 18 One of them, named Cleopas, answered and said to Him, “Are You possibly the only one living near Jerusalem [h]who does not know about the things that happened here in these days?” 19 And He said to them, “What sort of things?” And they said to Him, “Those about (P)Jesus the Nazarene, who proved to be a (Q)prophet mighty in deed and word in the sight of God and all the people, 20 and how the chief priests and our (R)rulers handed Him over to be sentenced to death, and crucified Him. 21 But we [i]were hoping that it was He who was going to (S)redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened. 22 But also some women among us left us bewildered. (T)When they were at the tomb early in the morning, 23 and did not find His body, they came, saying that they had also seen a vision of angels who said that He was alive. 24 And so some of those who were with us went to the tomb, and found it just exactly as the women also had said; but Him they did not see.” 25 And then He said to them, [j]You foolish men and slow of heart to believe in all that (U)the prophets have spoken! 26 (V)Was it not necessary for the [k]Christ to suffer these things and to come into His glory?” 27 Then beginning [l]with (W)Moses and [m]with all the (X)Prophets, He explained to them the things written about Himself in all the Scriptures.

28 And they approached the village where they were going, and (Y)He gave the impression that He was going farther. 29 And so they strongly urged Him, saying, “Stay with us, for it is getting toward evening, and the day [n]is now nearly over.” So He went in to stay with them. 30 And it came about, when He had reclined at the table with them, that He took the bread and (Z)blessed it, and He broke it and began giving it to them. 31 And then their (AA)eyes were opened and they recognized Him; and He vanished from [o]their sight. 32 They said to one another, “[p]Were our hearts not burning within us when He was speaking to us on the road, while He (AB)was [q]explaining the Scriptures to us?” 33 And they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and (AC)found the eleven gathered together and (AD)those who were with them, 34 saying, “(AE)The Lord has really risen and (AF)has appeared to Simon!” 35 They began to relate [r]their experiences on the road, and how (AG)He was recognized by them at the breaking of the bread.

Other Appearances

36 Now while they were telling these things, (AH)Jesus Himself suddenly stood in their midst and *said to them, “Peace be to you.” 37 But they were startled and frightened, and thought that they were looking at (AI)a spirit. 38 And He said to them, “Why are you frightened, and why are doubts arising in your [s]hearts? 39 (AJ)See My hands and My feet, that [t]it is I Myself; (AK)touch Me and see, because a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you plainly see that I have.” 40 And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet. 41 While they still [u](AL)could not believe it because of their joy and astonishment, He said to them, (AM)Have you anything here to eat?” 42 They served Him a piece of broiled fish; 43 and He took it and (AN)ate it in front of them.

44 Now He said to them, (AO)These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all the things that are written about Me in the (AP)Law of Moses and the Prophets and (AQ)the Psalms must be fulfilled.” 45 Then He (AR)opened their [v]minds to understand the Scriptures, 46 and He said to them, (AS)So it is written, that the [w]Christ would suffer and (AT)rise from the dead on the third day, 47 and that (AU)repentance [x]for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed [y]in His name to (AV)all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. 48 You are (AW)witnesses of these things. 49 And behold, (AX)I am sending the promise of My Father upon you; but (AY)you are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.”

The Ascension

50 And He led them out as far as (AZ)Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them. 51 While He was blessing them, He parted from them and was carried up into heaven. 52 And they, after worshiping Him, returned to Jerusalem with great joy, 53 and were continually in the temple [z]praising God.
