Luke 24
New International Version
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. 2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.(C) 4 While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning(D) stood beside them. 5 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? 6 He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee:(E) 7 ‘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) 8 Then they remembered his words.(H)
9 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.

Luc 24
Louis Segond
24 Le premier jour de la semaine, elles se rendirent au sépulcre de grand matin, portant les aromates qu'elles avaient préparés.
2 Elles trouvèrent que la pierre avait été roulée de devant le sépulcre;
3 et, étant entrées, elles ne trouvèrent pas le corps du Seigneur Jésus.
4 Comme elles ne savaient que penser de cela, voici, deux hommes leur apparurent, en habits resplendissants.
5 Saisies de frayeur, elles baissèrent le visage contre terre; mais ils leur dirent: Pourquoi cherchez-vous parmi les morts celui qui est vivant?
6 Il n'est point ici, mais il est ressuscité. Souvenez-vous de quelle manière il vous a parlé, lorsqu'il était encore en Galilée,
7 et qu'il disait: 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.
8 Et elles se ressouvinrent des paroles de Jésus.
9 A leur retour du sépulcre, elles annoncèrent toutes ces choses aux onze, et à tous les autres.
10 Celles qui dirent ces choses aux apôtres étaient Marie de Magdala, Jeanne, Marie, mère de Jacques, et les autres qui étaient avec elles.
11 Ils tinrent ces discours pour des rêveries, et ils ne crurent pas ces femmes.
12 Mais Pierre se leva, et courut au sépulcre. S'étant baissé, il ne vit que les linges qui étaient à terre; puis il s'en alla chez lui, dans l'étonnement de ce qui était arrivé.
13 Et voici, ce même jour, deux disciples allaient à un village nommé Emmaüs, éloigné de Jérusalem de soixante stades;
14 et ils s'entretenaient de tout ce qui s'était passé.
15 Pendant qu'ils parlaient et discutaient, Jésus s'approcha, et fit route avec eux.
16 Mais leurs yeux étaient empêchés de le reconnaître.
17 Il leur dit: De quoi vous entretenez-vous en marchant, pour que vous soyez tout tristes?
18 L'un d'eux, nommé Cléopas, lui répondit: Es-tu le seul qui, séjournant à Jérusalem ne sache pas ce qui y est arrivé ces jours-ci? -
19 Quoi? leur dit-il. -Et ils lui répondirent: Ce qui est arrivé au sujet de Jésus de Nazareth, qui était un prophète puissant en oeuvres et en paroles devant Dieu et devant tout le peuple,
20 et comment les principaux sacrificateurs et nos magistrats l'on livré pour le faire condamner à mort et l'ont crucifié.
21 Nous espérions que ce serait lui qui délivrerait Israël; mais avec tout cela, voici le troisième jour que ces choses se sont passées.
22 Il est vrai que quelques femmes d'entre nous nous ont fort étonnés; s'étant rendues de grand matin au sépulcre
23 et n'ayant pas trouvé son corps, elles sont venues dire que des anges leurs sont apparus et ont annoncé qu'il est vivant.
24 Quelques-uns de ceux qui étaient avec nous sont allés au sépulcre, et ils ont trouvé les choses comme les femmes l'avaient dit; mais lui, ils ne l'ont point vu.
25 Alors Jésus leur dit: O hommes sans intelligence, et dont le coeur est lent à croire tout ce qu'ont dit les prophètes!
26 Ne fallait-il pas que le Christ souffrît ces choses, et qu'il entrât dans sa gloire?
27 Et, commençant par Moïse et par tous les prophètes, il leur expliqua dans toutes les Écritures ce qui le concernait.
28 Lorsqu'ils furent près du village où ils allaient, il parut vouloir aller plus loin.
29 Mais ils le pressèrent, en disant: Reste avec nous, car le soir approche, le jour est sur son déclin. Et il entra, pour rester avec eux.
30 Pendant qu'il était à table avec eux, il prit le pain; et, après avoir rendu grâces, il le rompit, et le leur donna.
31 Alors leurs yeux s'ouvrirent, et ils le reconnurent; mais il disparut de devant eux.
32 Et ils se dirent l'un à l'autre: Notre coeur ne brûlait-il pas au dedans de nous, lorsqu'il nous parlait en chemin et nous expliquait les Écritures?
33 Se levant à l'heure même, ils retournèrent à Jérusalem, et ils trouvèrent les onze, et ceux qui étaient avec eux, assemblés
34 et disant: Le Seigneur est réellement ressuscité, et il est apparu à Simon.
35 Et ils racontèrent ce qui leur était arrivé en chemin, et comment ils l'avaient reconnu au moment où il rompit le pain.
36 Tandis qu'ils parlaient de la sorte, lui-même se présenta au milieu d'eux, et leur dit: La paix soit avec vous!
37 Saisis de frayeur et d'épouvante, ils croyaient voir un esprit.
38 Mais il leur dit: Pourquoi êtes-vous troublés, et pourquoi pareilles pensées s'élèvent-elles dans vos coeurs?
39 Voyez mes mains et mes pieds, c'est bien moi; touchez-moi et voyez: un esprit n'a ni chair ni os, comme vous voyez que j'ai.
40 Et en disant cela, il leur montra ses mains et ses pieds.
41 Comme, dans leur joie, ils ne croyaient point encore, et qu'ils étaient dans l'étonnement, il leur dit: Avez-vous ici quelque chose à manger?
42 Ils lui présentèrent du poisson rôti et un rayon de miel.
43 Il en prit, et il mangea devant eux.
44 Puis il leur dit: C'est là ce que je vous disais lorsque j'étais encore avec vous, qu'il fallait que s'accomplît tout ce qui est écrit de moi dans la loi de Moïse, dans les prophètes, et dans les psaumes.
45 Alors il leur ouvrit l'esprit, afin qu'ils comprissent les Écritures.
46 Et il leur dit: Ainsi il est écrit que le Christ souffrirait, et qu'il ressusciterait des morts le troisième jour,
47 et que la repentance et le pardon des péchés seraient prêchés en son nom à toutes les nations, à commencer par Jérusalem.
48 Vous êtes témoins de ces choses.
49 Et voici, j'enverrai sur vous ce que mon Père a promis; mais vous, restez dans la ville jusqu'à ce que vous soyez revêtus de la puissance d'en haut.
50 Il les conduisit jusque vers Béthanie, et, ayant levé les mains, il les bénit.
51 Pendant qu'il les bénissait, il se sépara d'eux, et fut enlevé au ciel.
52 Pour eux, après l'avoir adoré, ils retournèrent à Jérusalem avec une grande joie;
53 et ils étaient continuellement dans le temple, louant et bénissant Dieu.

English Standard Version
The Resurrection
24 (A)But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, (B)taking the spices they had prepared. 2 And they found (C)the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were perplexed about this, behold, (D)two (E)men stood by them in dazzling apparel. 5 And as they were (F)frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? 6 He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, (G)while he was still in Galilee, 7 (H)that the Son of Man (I)must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and (J)be crucified and on (K)the third day rise.” 8 And (L)they remembered his words, 9 and returning from the tomb they (M)told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. 10 Now it was (N)Mary Magdalene and (O)Joanna and Mary the mother of James and the other women with them who told these things to the apostles, 11 but these words seemed to them an idle tale, and (P)they did not believe them. 12 But (Q)Peter rose and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw (R)the linen cloths by themselves; and he went home marveling at what had happened.
On the Road to Emmaus
13 That very day (S)two of them were going to a village named Emmaus, about seven miles[a] from Jerusalem, 14 and they were talking with each other about all these things that had happened. 15 While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus himself drew near and went with them. 16 (T)But their eyes were kept from recognizing him. 17 And he said to them, “What is this conversation that you are holding with each other as you walk?” And they stood still, looking sad. 18 Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?” 19 And he said to them, “What things?” And they said to him, “Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, a man who was (U)a prophet (V)mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, 20 and (W)how our chief priests and (X)rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him. 21 But we had hoped that he was (Y)the one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now (Z)the third day since these things happened. 22 Moreover, some women of our company amazed us. (AA)They were at the tomb early in the morning, 23 and (AB)when they did not find his body, they came back saying that (AC)they had even seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive. 24 (AD)Some 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 And he said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! 26 (AE)Was it not necessary that (AF)the Christ should suffer these things and enter into (AG)his glory?” 27 And (AH)beginning with (AI)Moses and (AJ)all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.
28 So they drew near to the village to which they were going. (AK)He acted as if he were going farther, 29 but they urged him strongly, saying, “Stay with us, for it is toward evening and (AL)the day is now far spent.” So he went in to stay with them. 30 When he was at table with them, he took the bread and (AM)blessed and broke it and gave it to them. 31 (AN)And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And (AO)he vanished from their sight. 32 They said to each other, (AP)“Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he (AQ)opened to us the Scriptures?” 33 And they rose that same hour and returned to Jerusalem. And they (AR)found the eleven and (AS)those who were with them gathered together, 34 saying, “The Lord has risen indeed, and (AT)has appeared to Simon!” 35 Then they told what had happened on the road, and (AU)how he was known to them in (AV)the breaking of the bread.
Jesus Appears to His Disciples
36 As they were talking about these things, (AW)Jesus himself stood among them, and said to them, “Peace to you!” 37 But they were (AX)startled and (AY)frightened and (AZ)thought they saw a spirit. 38 And he said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? 39 See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. (BA)Touch me, and see. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.” 40 And when he had said this, (BB)he showed them his hands and his feet. 41 And while they still disbelieved (BC)for joy and were marveling, (BD)he said to them, “Have you anything here to eat?” 42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish,[b] 43 and he took it and ate before them.
44 Then he said to them, (BE)“These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, (BF)that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” 45 Then (BG)he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, 46 and said to them, “Thus (BH)it is written, (BI)that the Christ should suffer and on the third day (BJ)rise from the dead, 47 and that (BK)repentance for[c] the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed (BL)in his name (BM)to all nations, (BN)beginning from Jerusalem. 48 (BO)You are witnesses of these things. 49 And behold, I am sending (BP)the promise of my Father upon you. But stay in the city until you (BQ)are clothed with (BR)power (BS)from on high.”
The Ascension
50 And (BT)he led them out as far as (BU)Bethany, and lifting up his hands he blessed them. 51 While he blessed them, (BV)he parted from them and was carried up into heaven. 52 And they (BW)worshiped him and (BX)returned to Jerusalem (BY)with great joy, 53 and (BZ)were continually in the temple (CA)blessing God.
