Luke 24
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
24 1 but on the first day of the week at deep dawn, they went to the tomb bringing the spices which they prepared. 2 And they found the stone having been rolled-away from the tomb. 3 But having gone in, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 And it came about during their being perplexed about this, that behold— two men[a] stood-near them in gleaming[b] clothing. 5 And they[c] having become terrified and bowing their faces to the ground, they[d] said to them, “Why are you seeking the Living One among the dead? 6 He is not here, but He arose. Remember how He spoke to you while still being in Galilee, 7 saying as to the Son of Man that He must be handed-over into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and rise-up on the third day”. 8 And they remembered His words.
The Women Report To The Others. Peter Runs To See
9 And having returned from the tomb, they reported all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. 10 Now the women were the Magdalene[e] Mary, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them. They were saying these things to the apostles. 11 And these words appeared in their sight as if nonsense[f], and they were not-believing[g] them. 12 But Peter, having arisen, ran to the tomb. And having stooped-to-look, he sees the linen-cloths only[h]. And he went away marveling[i] to himself as to the thing having taken place.
Jesus Meets Two Disciples On The Way To Emmaus And Explains The Scriptures
13 And behold— two of them[j] were going on the very day to a village being sixty stades[k] distant from Jerusalem, for which the name was Emmaus. 14 And they were conversing with one another about all these things having happened. 15 And it came about during their conversing and discussing, that Jesus Himself, having drawn-near, was going with them. 16 But their eyes were being held-back that they might not[l] recognize Him. 17 And He said to them, “What are these words which you are exchanging with one another while walking?” And they stood [still], sad-faced. 18 And having responded, one— Cleopas by name— said to Him, “Are You alone[m] staying in Jerusalem and did not know the things having taken place in it in these days?” 19 And He said to them, “What things?” And the ones said to Him, “The things concerning Jesus from-Nazareth, Who became a man who was a prophet, powerful in deed and word before God and all the people; 20 and how the chief priests and our rulers handed Him over for condemnation to death, and they crucified Him. 21 But we were hoping that He was the One going to redeem Israel. Yet indeed also in-addition-to[n] all these things, it is the third day from which time these things took place. 22 Yet some women from-among us also astonished us. Having come-to-be at the tomb very-early, 23 and not having found His body, they came saying also to have seen a vision of angels who say that He is alive. 24 And some of the ones with us went to the tomb and found it so— just as the women indeed said. But they did not see Him”. 25 And He said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow in the heart to be putting-faith upon all that the prophets spoke! 26 Did not the Christ have-to suffer these things, and enter into His glory?” 27 And beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, He interpreted[o] to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures. 28 And they drew-near to the village where they were going. And He made-as-if to be proceeding farther. 29 And they strongly-urged Him, saying “Stay with us, because it is toward evening, and the day has already declined”. And He went in that He might stay with them. 30 And it came about at His lying down [to eat] with them that having taken the bread, He blessed it [p]. And having broken it, He was giving it to them. 31 And their eyes were opened, and they recognized Him. And He became invisible from them. 32 And they said to one another, “Was not our heart burning within us as He was speaking to us on the road, as He was opening the Scriptures to us?”
Jesus Appears To The Eleven And Helps Them Understand The Scriptures
33 And having arisen at the very hour, they returned to Jerusalem. And they found the eleven[q] and the ones with them having been assembled, 34 saying that “The Lord really arose! And He appeared to Simon”. 35 And they were describing[r] the things on the road, and how He was recognized by them in[s] the breaking of the bread. 36 And while they were speaking these things, He Himself stood in the midst of them. And He says to them, “Peace to you”. 37 But having been frightened and having become terrified, they were thinking that they were seeing a spirit. 38 And He said to them, “Why are you troubled? And for what reason are doubts coming-up in your heart? 39 Look at My hands and My feet, that I am Myself. Touch[t] Me and see, because a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you observe Me having”. 40 And having said this, He showed them His hands and His feet. 41 But while they were still not-believing it because of the joy, and marveling, He said to them, “Do you have something edible here?” 42 And the ones gave Him a part of a broiled fish. 43 And having taken it, He ate it in their presence. 44 And He said to them, “These are My words which I spoke to you while still being with you— that all the things having been written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled”. 45 Then He opened their mind that they might understand the Scriptures.
The Christ Had To Suffer And Rise Up, And The Message Go Forth. You Are Witnesses
46 And[u] He said to them that “Thus it has been written— that the Christ suffers and rises-up from the dead on the third day, 47 and that repentance for the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed on the basis of His name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. 48 You are witnesses of these things. 49 And behold— I am sending-forth the promise[v] of My Father upon you. But you sit in the city[w] until which time you put-on[x] power from on-high”.
Jesus Ascends Into Heaven
50 And He led them outside[y] until near Bethany. And having lifted-up His hands, He blessed them. 51 And it came about during His blessing them that He separated[z] from them, and was being carried-up[aa] into heaven. 52 And they, having worshiped Him, returned to Jerusalem with great joy. 53 And they were continually in the temple blessing God.

La Palabra (Hispanoamérica)
Resurrección de Jesús (Mt 28,1-10; Mc 16,1-8; Jn 20,1-10)
24 El primer día de la semana, al amanecer, las mujeres fueron al sepulcro con los perfumes que habían preparado. 2 Al llegar, se encontraron con que la piedra que cerraba el sepulcro había sido removida. 3 Entraron, pero no encontraron el cuerpo de Jesús, el Señor. 4 Estaban aún desconcertadas ante el caso, cuando se les presentaron dos hombres vestidos con ropas resplandecientes 5 que, al ver cómo las mujeres se postraban rostro en tierra llenas de miedo, les dijeron:
— ¿Por qué buscan entre los muertos al que está vivo? 6 No está aquí; ha resucitado. Recuerden que él les habló de esto cuando aún estaba en Galilea. 7 Ya les dijo entonces que el Hijo del hombre tenía que ser entregado en manos de pecadores y que iban a crucificarlo, pero que resucitaría al tercer día.
8 Ellas recordaron, en efecto, las palabras de Jesús 9 y, regresando del sepulcro, llevaron la noticia a los Once y a todos los demás. 10 Así pues, fueron María Magdalena, Juana, María la madre de Santiago, y las otras que estaban con ellas, quienes comunicaron a los apóstoles lo que había pasado. 11 Pero a los apóstoles les pareció todo esto una locura y no las creyeron.
12 Pedro, sin embargo, se decidió, y echó a correr hacia el sepulcro. Al inclinarse a mirar, sólo vio los lienzos; así que regresó a casa lleno de asombro por lo que había sucedido.
En el camino de Emaús (Mc 16,12-13)
13 Ese mismo día, dos de los discípulos se dirigían a una aldea llamada Emaús, distante unos once kilómetros de Jerusalén. 14 Mientras iban hablando de los recientes acontecimientos, 15 conversando y discutiendo entre ellos, Jesús mismo se les acercó y se puso a caminar a su lado. 16 Pero tenían los ojos tan ofuscados que no lo reconocieron. 17 Entonces Jesús les preguntó:
— ¿Qué es eso que discuten mientras van de camino?
Se detuvieron con el semblante ensombrecido, 18 y uno de ellos, llamado Cleofás, le contestó:
— Seguramente tú eres el único en toda Jerusalén que no se ha enterado de lo que ha pasado allí estos días.
19 Él preguntó:
— ¿Pues qué ha pasado?
Le dijeron:
— Lo de Jesús de Nazaret, que era un profeta poderoso en hechos y palabras delante de Dios y de todo el pueblo. 20 Los jefes de nuestros sacerdotes y nuestras autoridades lo entregaron para que lo condenaran a muerte y lo crucificaran. 21 Nosotros teníamos la esperanza de que él iba a ser el libertador de Israel, pero ya han pasado tres días desde que sucedió todo esto. 22 Verdad es que algunas mujeres de nuestro grupo nos han desconcertado, pues fueron de madrugada al sepulcro 23 y, al no encontrar su cuerpo, volvieron diciendo que también se les habían aparecido unos ángeles y les habían dicho que él está vivo. 24 Algunos de los nuestros acudieron después al sepulcro y lo encontraron todo tal y como las mujeres habían dicho. Pero a él no lo vieron.
25 Jesús, entonces, les dijo:
— ¡Qué lentos son ustedes para comprender y cuánto les cuesta creer lo dicho por los profetas! 26 ¿No tenía que sufrir el Mesías todo esto antes de ser glorificado?
27 Y, empezando por Moisés y siguiendo por todos los profetas, les explicó cada uno de los pasajes de las Escrituras que se referían a él mismo.
28 Cuando llegaron a la aldea adonde se dirigían, Jesús hizo ademán de seguir adelante. 29 Pero ellos le dijeron, insistiendo mucho:
— Quédate con nosotros, porque atardece ya y la noche se echa encima.
Él entró y se quedó con ellos. 30 Luego, cuando se sentaron juntos a la mesa, Jesús tomó el pan, dio gracias a Dios, lo partió y se lo dio. 31 En aquel momento se les abrieron los ojos y lo reconocieron; pero él desapareció de su vista. 32 Entonces se dijeron el uno al otro:
— ¿No nos ardía ya el corazón cuando conversábamos con él por el camino y nos explicaba las Escrituras?
33 En el mismo instante emprendieron el camino de regreso a Jerusalén, donde encontraron reunidos a los Once y a todos los demás, 34 que les dijeron:
— Es cierto que el Señor ha resucitado y se ha aparecido a Simón.
35 Ellos, por su parte, contaron también lo que les había sucedido en el camino y cómo habían reconocido a Jesús cuando partía el pan.
Jesús se aparece a los discípulos (Mt 28,16-20; Mc 16,14-18; Jn 20,19-23)
36 Todavía estaban hablando de estas cosas, cuando Jesús se puso en medio de ellos y les dijo:
— ¡La paz sea con ustedes!
37 Sorprendidos y muy asustados, creían estar viendo un fantasma. 38 Pero Jesús les dijo:
— ¿Por qué se asustan y por qué dudan tanto en su interior? 39 Miren mis manos y mis pies: soy yo mismo. Tóquenme y mírenme. Los fantasmas no tienen carne ni huesos, como ustedes ven que yo tengo.
40 Al decir esto, les mostró las manos y los pies. 41 Pero aunque estaban llenos de alegría, no se lo acababan de creer a causa del asombro. Así que Jesús les preguntó:
— ¿Tienen aquí algo de comer?
42 Le ofrecieron un trozo de pescado asado, 43 que él tomó y comió en presencia de todos. 44 Luego les dijo:
— Cuando aún estaba con ustedes, ya les advertí que tenía que cumplirse todo lo que está escrito acerca de mí en la ley de Moisés, en los libros de los profetas y en los salmos.
45 Entonces les abrió la mente para que comprendieran el sentido de las Escrituras. 46 Y añadió:
— Estaba escrito que el Mesías tenía que morir y que resucitaría al tercer día; 47 y también que en su nombre se ha de proclamar a todas las naciones, comenzando desde Jerusalén, un mensaje de conversión y de perdón de los pecados. 48 Ustedes son testigos de todas estas cosas. 49 Miren, yo voy a enviarles el don prometido por mi Padre. Quédense aquí, en Jerusalén, hasta que reciban la fuerza que viene de Dios.
Conclusión (24,50-52)
Ascensión de Jesús al cielo (Mc 16,19; Hch 1,9-11)
50 Más tarde, Jesús los llevó fuera de la ciudad, hasta las cercanías de Betania. Allí, levantando las manos, los bendijo. 51 Y, mientras los bendecía, se separó de ellos y fue llevado al cielo. 52 Ellos, después de adorarlo, regresaron a Jerusalén llenos de alegría. 53 Y estaban constantemente en el Templo bendiciendo a Dios.
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.
