Resurrection Morning

24 On(A) the first day of the week,(B) very early in the morning, they[a] came to the tomb, bringing the spices they had prepared. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb. They went in but did not find the body(C) of the Lord Jesus.(D) While they were perplexed about this, suddenly two men stood by them in dazzling(E) clothes. So the women were terrified and bowed down to the ground.

‘Why are you looking for the living among the dead? ’ asked the men. ‘He is not here, but he has risen!(F) Remember how he spoke to you when he was still in Galilee,(G) saying, “It is necessary that the Son of Man be betrayed(H) into the hands of sinful men, be crucified, and rise(I) on the third day”? ’ And they remembered his words.

Returning from the tomb, they reported all these things to the Eleven(J) and to all the rest. 10 Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James,(K) and the other women with them were telling the apostles(L) these things. 11 But these words seemed like nonsense to them, and they did not believe(M) the women. 12 Peter,(N) however, got up and ran to the tomb. When he stooped to look in, he saw only the linen cloths.[b](O) So he went away, amazed(P) at what had happened.

The Emmaus Disciples

13 Now(Q) that same day two of them were on their way to a village called Emmaus, which was about eleven kilometres[c](R) from Jerusalem.(S) 14 Together they were discussing everything that had taken place. 15 And while they were discussing and arguing, Jesus himself came near and began to walk along with them. 16 But they[d] were prevented from recognising him.(T) 17 Then he asked them, ‘What is this dispute that you’re having[e] with each other as you are walking? ’ And they stopped walking and looked discouraged.

18 The one named Cleopas answered him, ‘Are you the only visitor in Jerusalem who doesn’t know the things that happened there in these days? ’(U)

19 ‘What things? ’ he asked them.

So they said to him, ‘The things concerning Jesus of Nazareth,(V) who was a prophet(W) powerful in action and speech(X) before God and all the people,(Y) 20 and how our chief priests and leaders(Z) handed him over to be sentenced to death,(AA) and they crucified him.(AB) 21 But we were hoping that he was the one who was about to redeem(AC) Israel. Besides all this, it’s the third day(AD) since these things happened. 22 Moreover, some women from our group astounded us. They arrived early at the tomb, 23 and when they didn’t find his body, they came and reported that they had seen a vision of angels who said he was alive. 24 Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they didn’t see him.’(AE)

25 He said to them, ‘How foolish you are, and how slow[f] to believe all that the prophets have spoken!(AF) 26 Wasn’t it necessary for the Messiah to suffer(AG) these things and enter into his glory? ’(AH) 27 Then beginning with Moses(AI) and all the Prophets,(AJ) he interpreted for them the things concerning himself in all the Scriptures.(AK)

28 They came near the village where they were going, and he gave the impression that he was going further.(AL) 29 But they urged him, ‘Stay with us, because it’s almost evening, and now the day is almost over.’ So he went in to stay with them.

30 It was as he reclined at the table with them that he took the bread, blessed and broke(AM) it, and gave it to them. 31 Then their eyes were opened,(AN) and they recognised him, but he disappeared from their sight.(AO) 32 They said to each other, ‘Weren’t our hearts burning within us while he was talking with us on the road and explaining the Scriptures(AP) to us? ’ 33 That very hour they got up and returned to Jerusalem. They found the Eleven(AQ) and those with them gathered together, 34 who said, ‘The Lord has truly been raised and has appeared to Simon! ’(AR) 35 Then they began to describe what had happened on the road and how he was made known to them in the breaking of the bread.(AS)

The Reality of the Risen Jesus

36 As(AT) they were saying these things, he himself stood in their midst. He said to them, ‘Peace(AU) to you! ’ 37 But they were startled and terrified(AV) and thought they were seeing a ghost.(AW) 38 ‘Why are you troubled? ’(AX) he asked them. ‘And why do doubts arise in your hearts? 39 Look at my hands and my feet, that it is I myself!(AY) Touch me and see,(AZ) because a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you can see I have.’ 40 Having said this, he showed them his hands and feet. 41 But while they still were amazed and in disbelief because of their joy, he asked them, ‘Do you have anything here to eat? ’ 42 So they gave him a piece of a grilled fish,[g] 43 and he took it and ate in their presence.

44 He told them, ‘These are my words(BA) that I spoke to you while I was still with you – that everything written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets,(BB) and the Psalms(BC) must be fulfilled.’ 45 Then he opened their minds(BD) to understand(BE) the Scriptures. 46 He also said to them, ‘This is what is written:[h] The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead the third day,(BF) 47 and repentance for[i] forgiveness of sins(BG) will be proclaimed in his name to all the nations,(BH) beginning at Jerusalem.(BI) 48 You are witnesses(BJ) of these things. 49 And look, I am sending you[j] what my Father promised.(BK) As for you, stay in the city[k] until you are empowered[l](BL) from on high.’

The Ascension of Jesus

50 Then he led them out to the vicinity of Bethany,(BM) and lifting up his hands(BN) he blessed them. 51 And while he was blessing them, he left them and was carried up into heaven.(BO) 52 After worshipping him,(BP) they returned to Jerusalem with great joy.(BQ) 53 And they were continually in the temple praising God.[m](BR)

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.

Jésus est ressuscité !(A)

24 Le dimanche matin de très bonne heure, les femmes se rendirent au tombeau emportant les huiles aromatiques qu’elles avaient préparées. Elles découvrirent que la pierre fermant l’entrée du sépulcre avait été roulée à quelque distance de l’ouverture. Elles pénétrèrent à l’intérieur, mais ne trouvèrent pas le corps du Seigneur Jésus. Pendant qu’elles en étaient encore à se demander ce que cela signifiait, deux personnages vêtus d’habits étincelants se tinrent tout à coup devant elles. Elles étaient tout effrayées et baissaient les yeux vers le sol. Ils leur dirent alors : Pourquoi cherchez-vous parmi les morts celui qui est vivant ? Il n’est plus ici, mais il est ressuscité. Rappelez-vous ce qu’il vous disait quand il était encore en Galilée : « Il faut que le Fils de l’homme soit livré entre les mains des pécheurs, qu’il soit crucifié, et qu’il ressuscite le troisième jour. »

Elles se souvinrent alors des paroles de Jésus. Elles revinrent du tombeau et allèrent tout raconter aux Onze, ainsi qu’à tous les autres disciples. 10 C’étaient Marie de Magdala, Jeanne, Marie, la mère de Jacques. Quelques autres femmes, qui étaient avec elles, portèrent aussi la nouvelle aux apôtres ; 11 mais ceux-ci trouvèrent leurs propos absurdes et n’y ajoutèrent pas foi.

12 Pierre, cependant, partit et courut au tombeau. En se penchant, il ne vit que des linges funéraires. Il s’en retourna, très étonné de ce qui s’était passé[a].

Jésus apparaît à quelques disciples[b]

13 Le même jour, deux de ces disciples se rendaient à un village nommé Emmaüs, à une douzaine de kilomètres de Jérusalem. 14 Ils s’entretenaient de tous ces événements. 15 Pendant qu’ils échangeaient ainsi leurs propos et leurs réflexions, Jésus lui-même s’approcha d’eux et les accompagna. 16 Mais leurs yeux étaient incapables de le reconnaître.

17 Il leur dit : De quoi discutez-vous en marchant ?

Ils s’arrêtèrent, l’air attristé. 18 L’un d’eux, nommé Cléopas, lui répondit : Es-tu le seul parmi ceux qui séjournent à Jérusalem qui ne sache pas ce qui s’y est passé ces jours-ci ?

19 – Quoi donc ? leur demanda-t-il.

– Ce qui est arrivé à Jésus de Nazareth. C’était un prophète qui agissait et parlait avec puissance, devant Dieu et devant tout le peuple. 20 Nos chefs des prêtres et nos dirigeants l’ont livré aux Romains pour le faire condamner à mort et clouer sur une croix. 21 Nous avions espéré qu’il était celui qui devait délivrer Israël. Mais hélas ! Voilà déjà trois jours que tout cela est arrivé.

22 Il est vrai que quelques femmes de notre groupe nous ont fort étonnés. Elles sont allées au tombeau très tôt ce matin, 23 mais elles n’ont pas trouvé son corps et sont venues raconter qu’elles ont vu apparaître des anges qui leur ont assuré qu’il est vivant. 24 Là-dessus, quelques-uns de ceux qui étaient avec nous se sont aussi rendus au tombeau ; ils ont bien trouvé les choses telles que les femmes les ont décrites ; mais lui, ils ne l’ont pas vu.

Alors Jésus leur dit : 25 Ah ! hommes sans intelligence ! Vous êtes bien lents à croire tout ce que les prophètes ont annoncé. 26 Le Messie ne devait-il pas souffrir toutes ces choses avant d’entrer dans sa gloire ?

27 Alors, commençant par les livres de Moïse et parcourant tous ceux des prophètes, Jésus leur expliqua ce qui se rapportait à lui dans toutes les Ecritures.

28 Entre-temps, ils arrivèrent près du village où ils se rendaient. Jésus sembla vouloir continuer sa route. 29 Mais ils le retinrent avec une vive insistance en disant : Reste donc avec nous ; tu vois : le jour baisse et le soir approche.

Alors il entra dans la maison pour rester avec eux. 30 Il se mit à table avec eux, prit le pain et, après avoir prononcé la prière de bénédiction, il le partagea et le leur donna. 31 Alors leurs yeux s’ouvrirent et ils le reconnurent… mais, déjà, il avait disparu. 32 Et ils se dirent l’un à l’autre : N’avons-nous pas senti comme un feu dans notre cœur pendant qu’il nous parlait en chemin et qu’il nous expliquait les Ecritures ?

33 Ils se levèrent sur l’heure et retournèrent à Jérusalem. Ils y trouvèrent les Onze réunis avec leurs compagnons.

34 Tous les accueillirent par ces paroles : Le Seigneur est réellement ressuscité, il s’est montré à Simon.

35 Alors les deux disciples racontèrent à leur tour ce qui leur était arrivé en chemin et comment ils avaient reconnu Jésus au moment où il avait partagé le pain.

Jésus apparaît aux Onze[c](B)

36 Pendant qu’ils s’entretenaient ainsi, Jésus se trouva au milieu d’eux et leur dit : Que la paix soit avec vous !

37 Mais ils furent saisis de crainte et d’effroi, croyant voir un esprit.

38 – Pourquoi êtes-vous troublés ? leur dit-il. Pourquoi les doutes envahissent-ils votre cœur ? 39 Regardez mes mains et mes pieds, et reconnaissez que c’est bien moi. Touchez-moi et regardez ! Car un esprit n’a ni chair ni os. Or, vous voyez bien que j’en ai.

40 Tout en disant cela, il leur montra ses mains et ses pieds[d]. 41 Mais ils étaient si heureux qu’ils ne parvenaient pas à croire et restaient dans l’étonnement. Alors il leur demanda : Avez-vous quelque chose à manger ?

42 Ils lui présentèrent un morceau de poisson grillé. 43 Il le prit et le mangea sous leurs yeux.

44 Puis il leur dit : Voici ce que je vous ai dit quand j’étais encore avec vous : « Il faut que s’accomplisse tout ce qui est écrit de moi dans la Loi de Moïse, dans les prophètes, et dans les Psaumes. »

45 Là-dessus, il leur ouvrit l’intelligence pour qu’ils comprennent les Ecritures.

46 – Vous voyez, leur dit-il, les Ecritures enseignent que le Messie doit souffrir, qu’il ressuscitera le troisième jour, 47 et qu’on annoncera de sa part à tous les peuples, en commençant par Jérusalem, qu’ils doivent changer pour obtenir le pardon des péchés. 48 Vous êtes les témoins de ces événements. 49 Quant à moi, j’enverrai bientôt sur vous ce que mon Père vous a promis. Vous donc, restez ici dans cette ville, jusqu’à ce que vous soyez revêtus de la puissance d’en haut.

Jésus enlevé au ciel

50 Par la suite il les emmena hors de la ville jusqu’aux environs de Béthanie[e] et là, élevant ses mains, il les bénit.

51 Pendant qu’il les bénissait, il les quitta et fut enlevé au ciel.

52 Quant à eux, après l’avoir adoré, ils retournèrent à Jérusalem, le cœur rempli de joie. 53 Là, ils se retrouvaient à toute heure dans la cour du Temple pour louer Dieu.

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.
