Luke 24
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
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. 2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb. 3 They went in but did not find the body(C) of the Lord Jesus.(D) 4 While they were perplexed about this, suddenly two men stood by them in dazzling(E) clothes. 5 So the women were terrified and bowed down to the ground.
‘Why are you looking for the living among the dead? ’ asked the men. 6 ‘He is not here, but he has risen!(F) Remember how he spoke to you when he was still in Galilee,(G) 7 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”? ’ 8 And they remembered his words.
9 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)

Lucas 24
Reina-Valera Antigua
24 Y EL primer día de la semana, muy de mañana, vinieron al sepulcro, trayendo las drogas aromáticas que habían aparejado, y algunas otras mujeres con ellas.
2 Y hallaron la piedra revuelta del sepulcro.
3 Y entrando, no hallaron el cuerpo del Señor Jesús.
4 Y aconteció, que estando ellas espantadas de esto, he aquí se pararon junto á ellas dos varones con vestiduras resplandecientes;
5 Y como tuviesen ellas temor, y bajasen el rostro á tierra, les dijeron: ¿Por qué buscáis entre los muertos al que vive?
6 No está aquí, mas ha resucitado: acordaos de lo que os habló, cuando aun estaba en Galilea,
7 Diciendo: Es menester que el Hijo del hombre sea entregado en manos de hombres pecadores, y que sea crucificado, y resucite al tercer día.
8 Entonces ellas se acordaron de sus palabras,
9 Y volviendo del sepulcro, dieron nuevas de todas estas cosas á los once, y á todos los demás.
10 Y eran María Magdalena, y Juana, y María madre de Jacobo, y las demás con ellas, las que dijeron estas cosas á los apóstoles.
11 Mas á ellos les parecían como locura las palabras de ellas, y no las creyeron.
12 Pero levantándose Pedro, corrió al sepulcro: y como miró dentro, vió solos los lienzos echados; y se fué maravillándose de lo que había sucedido.
13 Y he aquí, dos de ellos iban el mismo día á una aldea que estaba de Jerusalem sesenta estadios, llamada Emmaús.
14 E iban hablando entre sí de todas aquellas cosas que habían acaecido.
15 Y aconteció que yendo hablando entre sí, y preguntándose el uno al otro, el mismo Jesús se llegó, é iba con ellos juntamente.
16 Mas los ojos de ellos estaban embargados, para que no le conociesen.
17 Y díjoles: ¿Qué pláticas son estas que tratáis entre vosotros andando, y estáis tristes?
18 Y respondiendo el uno, que se llamaba Cleofas, le dijo: ¿Tú sólo peregrino eres en Jerusalem, y no has sabido las cosas que en ella han acontecido estos días?
19 Entonces él les dijo: ¿Qué cosas? Y ellos le dijeron: De Jesús Nazareno, el cual fué varón profeta, poderoso en obra y en palabra delante de Dios y de todo el pueblo;
20 Y cómo le entregaron los príncipes de los sacerdotes y nuestros príncipes á condenación de muerte, y le crucificaron.
21 Mas nosotros esperábamos que él era el que había de redimir á Israel: y ahora sobre todo esto, hoy es el tercer día que esto ha acontecido.
22 Aunque también unas mujeres de los nuestros nos han espantado, las cuales antes del día fueron al sepulcro:
23 Y no hallando su cuerpo, vinieron diciendo que también habían visto visión de ángeles, los cuales dijeron que él vive.
24 Y fueron algunos de los nuestros al sepulcro, y hallaron así como las mujeres habían dicho; más á él no le vieron.
25 Entonces él les dijo: Oh insensatos, y tardos de corazón para creer todo lo que los profetas han dicho!
26 ¿No era necesario que el Cristo padeciera estas cosas, y que entrara en su gloria?
27 Y comenzando desde Moisés, y de todos los profetas, declarábales en todas las Escrituras lo que de él decían.
28 Y llegaron á la aldea á donde iban: y él hizo como que iba más lejos.
29 Mas ellos le detuvieron por fuerza, diciendo: Quédate con nosotros, porque se hace tarde, y el día ya ha declinado. Entró pues á estarse con ellos.
30 Y aconteció, que estando sentado con ellos á la mesa, tomando el pan, bendijo, y partió, y dióles.
31 Entonces fueron abiertos los ojos de ellos, y le conocieron; mas él se desapareció de los ojos de ellos.
32 Y decían el uno al otro: ¿No ardía nuestro corazón en nosotros, mientras nos hablaba en el camino, y cuando nos abría las Escrituras?
33 Y levantándose en la misma hora, tornáronse á Jerusalem, y hallaron á los once reunidos, y á los que estaban con ellos.
34 Que decían: Ha resucitado el Señor verdaderamente, y ha aparecido á Simón.
35 Entonces ellos contaban las cosas que les habían acontecido en el camino, y cómo había sido conocido de ellos al partir el pan.
36 Y entre tanto que ellos hablaban estas cosas, él se puso en medio de ellos, y les dijo: Paz á vosotros.
37 Entonces ellos espantados y asombrados, pensaban que veían espíritu.
38 Mas él les dice: ¿Por qué estáis turbados, y suben pensamientos á vuestros corazones?
39 Mirad mis manos y mis pies, que yo mismo soy: palpad, y ved; que el espíritu ni tiene carne ni huesos, como veis que yo tengo.
40 Y en diciendo esto, les mostró las manos y los pies.
41 Y no creyéndolo aún ellos de gozo, y maravillados, díjoles: ¿Tenéis aquí algo de comer?
42 Entonces ellos le presentaron parte de un pez asado, y un panal de miel.
43 Y él tomó, y comió delante de ellos.
44 Y él les dijo: Estas son las palabras que os hablé, estando aún con vosotros: que era necesario que se cumpliesen todas las cosas que están escritas de mí en la ley de Moisés, y en los profetas, y en los salmos.
45 Entonces les abrió el sentido, para que entendiesen las Escrituras;
46 Y díjoles: Así está escrito, y así fué necesario que el Cristo padeciese, y resucitase de los muertos al tercer día;
47 Y que se predicase en su nombre el arrepentimiento y la remisión de pecados en todas las naciones, comenzando de Jerusalem.
48 Y vosotros sois testigos de estas cosas.
49 Y he aquí, yo enviaré la promesa de mi Padre sobre vosotros: mas vosotros asentad en la ciudad de Jerusalem, hasta que seáis investidos de potencia de lo alto.
50 Y sacólos fuera hasta Bethania, y alzando sus manos, los bendijo.
51 Y aconteció que bendiciéndolos, se fué de ellos; y era llevado arriba al cielo.
52 Y ellos, después de haberle adorado, se volvieron á Jerusalem con gran gozo;
53 Y estaban siempre en el templo, alabando y bendiciendo á Dios. Amén.
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.
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.
