24 En í afturelding fyrsta dag vikunnar komu þær til grafarinnar með ilmsmyrslin, sem þær höfðu búið.

Þær sáu þá, að steininum hafði verið velt frá gröfinni,

og þegar þær stigu inn, fundu þær ekki líkama Drottins Jesú.

Þær skildu ekkert í þessu, en þá brá svo við, að hjá þeim stóðu tveir menn í leiftrandi klæðum.

Þær urðu mjög hræddar og hneigðu andlit til jarðar. En þeir sögðu við þær: "Hví leitið þér hins lifanda meðal dauðra?

Hann er ekki hér, hann er upp risinn. Minnist þess, hvernig hann talaði við yður, meðan hann var enn í Galíleu.

Hann sagði, að Mannssonurinn skyldi framseldur verða í hendur syndugra manna og krossfestur, en rísa upp á þriðja degi."

Og þær minntust orða hans,

sneru frá gröfinni og kunngjörðu allt þetta þeim ellefu og öllum hinum.

10 Þessar konur voru þær María Magdalena, Jóhanna og María móðir Jakobs og hinar, sem voru með þeim. Þær sögðu postulunum frá þessu.

11 En þeir töldu orð þeirra markleysu eina og trúðu þeim ekki.

12 Pétur stóð þó upp og hljóp til grafarinnar, skyggndist inn og sá þar líkklæðin ein. Fór hann heim síðan og undraðist það, sem við hafði borið.

13 Tveir þeirra fóru þann sama dag til þorps nokkurs, sem er um sextíu skeiðrúm frá Jerúsalem og heitir Emmaus.

14 Þeir ræddu sín á milli um allt þetta, sem gjörst hafði.

15 Þá bar svo við, er þeir voru að tala saman og ræða þetta, að Jesús sjálfur nálgaðist þá og slóst í för með þeim.

16 En augu þeirra voru svo haldin, að þeir þekktu hann ekki.

17 Og hann sagði við þá: "Hvað er það, sem þið ræðið svo mjög á göngu ykkar?" Þeir námu staðar, daprir í bragði,

18 og annar þeirra, Kleófas að nafni, sagði við hann: "Þú ert víst sá eini aðkomumaður í Jerúsalem, sem veist ekki, hvað þar hefur gjörst þessa dagana."

19 Hann spurði: "Hvað þá?" Þeir svöruðu: "Þetta um Jesú frá Nasaret, sem var spámaður, máttugur í verki og orði fyrir Guði og öllum lýð,

20 hvernig æðstu prestar og höfðingjar vorir framseldu hann til dauðadóms og krossfestu hann.

21 Vér vonuðum, að hann væri sá, er leysa mundi Ísrael. En nú er þriðji dagur síðan þetta bar við.

22 Þá hafa og konur nokkrar úr vorum hóp gjört oss forviða. Þær fóru árla til grafarinnar,

23 en fundu ekki líkama hans og komu og sögðust enda hafa séð engla í sýn, er sögðu hann lifa.

24 Nokkrir þeirra, sem með oss voru, fóru til grafarinnar og fundu allt eins og konurnar höfðu sagt, en hann sáu þeir ekki."

25 Þá sagði hann við þá: "Ó, þér heimskir og tregir í hjarta til þess að trúa öllu því, sem spámennirnir hafa talað!

26 Átti ekki Kristur að líða þetta og ganga svo inn í dýrð sína?"

27 Og hann byrjaði á Móse og öllum spámönnunum og útlagði fyrir þeim það, sem um hann er í öllum ritningunum.

28 Þeir nálguðust nú þorpið, sem þeir ætluðu til, en hann lét sem hann vildi halda lengra.

29 Þeir lögðu þá fast að honum og sögðu: "Vertu hjá oss, því að kvölda tekur og degi hallar." Og hann fór inn til að vera hjá þeim.

30 Og svo bar við, er hann sat til borðs með þeim, að hann tók brauðið, þakkaði Guði, braut það og fékk þeim.

31 Þá opnuðust augu þeirra, og þeir þekktu hann, en hann hvarf þeim sjónum.

32 Og þeir sögðu hvor við annan: "Brann ekki hjartað í okkur, meðan hann talaði við okkur á veginum og lauk upp fyrir okkur ritningunum?"

33 Þeir stóðu samstundis upp og fóru aftur til Jerúsalem. Þar fundu þeir þá ellefu og þá, er með þeim voru, saman komna,

34 og sögðu þeir: "Sannarlega er Drottinn upp risinn og hefur birst Símoni."

35 Hinir sögðu þá frá því, sem við hafði borið á veginum, og hvernig þeir höfðu þekkt hann, þegar hann braut brauðið.

36 Nú voru þeir að tala um þetta, og þá stendur hann sjálfur meðal þeirra og segir við þá: "Friður sé með yður!"

37 En þeir skelfdust og urðu hræddir og hugðust sjá anda.

38 Hann sagði við þá: "Hví eruð þér óttaslegnir og hvers vegna vakna efasemdir í hjarta yðar?

39 Lítið á hendur mínar og fætur, að það er ég sjálfur. Þreifið á mér, og gætið að. Ekki hefur andi hold og bein eins og þér sjáið að ég hef."

40 Þegar hann hafði þetta mælt, sýndi hann þeim hendur sínar og fætur.

41 Enn gátu þeir ekki trúað fyrir fögnuði og voru furðu lostnir. Þá sagði hann við þá: "Hafið þér hér nokkuð til matar?"

42 Þeir fengu honum stykki af steiktum fiski,

43 og hann tók það og neytti þess frammi fyrir þeim.

44 Og hann sagði við þá: "Þessi er merking orða minna, sem ég talaði við yður, meðan ég var enn meðal yðar, að rætast ætti allt það, sem um mig er ritað í lögmáli Móse, spámönnunum og sálmunum."

45 Síðan lauk hann upp huga þeirra, að þeir skildu ritningarnar.

46 Og hann sagði við þá: "Svo er skrifað, að Kristur eigi að líða og rísa upp frá dauðum á þriðja degi,

47 og að prédika skuli í nafni hans öllum þjóðum iðrun til fyrirgefningar synda og byrja í Jerúsalem.

48 Þér eruð vottar þessa.

49 Sjá, ég sendi fyrirheit föður míns yfir yður, en verið þér kyrrir í borginni, uns þér íklæðist krafti frá hæðum."

50 Síðan fór hann með þá út í nánd við Betaníu, hóf upp hendur sínar og blessaði þá.

51 En það varð, meðan hann var að blessa þá, að hann skildist frá þeim og var upp numinn til himins.

52 En þeir féllu fram og tilbáðu hann og sneru aftur til Jerúsalem með miklum fögnuði.

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

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.
