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.

Ne basanga ejjinja eryali liggadde omulyango oguyingira mu ntaana, nga liyiringisibbwa okudda wabbali. (B)Bwe batyo ne bayingira mu ntaana, naye omulambo gwa Mukama waffe Yesu tebaagusangamu. (C)Ne bayimirira awo nga babuliddwa eky’okukola. Amangwago, abasajja babiri ne balabika mu maaso gaabwe nga bambadde engoye ezimasamasa ng’okumyansa kw’eraddu. Abakazi ne batya nnyo, ne bakutama ne batunula wansi, abasajja ne babagamba nti, “Lwaki omuntu omulamu mumunoonyeza mu ntaana? (D)Taliiwo wano, azuukidde! Mujjukire bye yabagamba nga muli e Ggaliraaya nti, (E)‘Omwana w’Omuntu, ateekwa okuweebwayo mu mikono gy’abantu ababi, bamukomerere ku musaalaba, naye nga ku lunaku olwokusatu alizuukira.’ ” (F)Ne bajjukira ebigambo bye ebyo.

Bano be bakazi abaalaga ku ntaana, era ne bategeeza abayigirizwa ebintu ebyo: 10 (G)Maliyamu Magudaleene, ne Jowaana, ne Maliyamu nnyina Yakobo, n’abalala.

Ku Luguudo lw’e Emawu

13 (J)Ku lunaku olwo lwennyini abasajja babiri, abamu ku abo abaagobereranga Yesu, baali batambula nga bagenda mu kabuga akayitibwa Emawu, akaali kilomita nga kkumi na bbiri okuva e Yerusaalemi. 14 Baali bagenda boogera ku kufa kwa Yesu. 15 (K)Amangwago Yesu yennyini n’abeegattako n’atambula nabo. 16 (L)Kyokka tebaamutegeera, kubanga ekyo Katonda yali akibakisizza.

17 Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Biki bye munyumyako nga bwe mutambula mu kkubo?”

Ne bayimirira ng’amaaso gaabwe gajjudde ennaku. 18 (M)Omu ku bo, erinnya lye Kulyoppa n’amuddamu nti, “Oli mugenyi mu Yerusaalemi atamanyi bya kitalo ebyaliwo mu wiiki eyise?”

19 (N)Yesu n’ababuuza nti, “Biki ebyo?” Ne baddamu nti, “Ebyagwa ku Yesu Omunnazaaleesi eyali omusajja Nnabbi ow’amaanyi mu bye yakolanga ne bye yayogeranga eyakola ebyamagero ebyewuunyisa, era yali Muyigiriza wa kitalo, mu maaso ga Katonda ne mu maaso g’abantu bonna. 20 (O)Naye bakabona abakulu n’abakulembeze baffe baamukwata ne bamuwaayo n’asalirwa omusango ogw’okufa, ne bamukomerera ku musaalaba. 21 (P)Twali tusuubira nti, Ye Kristo anaalokola Isirayiri. 22 (Q)Ebyo nga bikyali awo, nga wayiseewo ennaku ssatu bukyanga bino bibaawo abamu ku bakazi b’ewaffe baatwewuunyisizza.

25 Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Nga muli bantu basirusiru! Mmwe ab’emitima eminafu egirwawo okukkiriza bannabbi bye baategeeza! 26 (S)Tekyagwanira Kristo okubonaabona mu bintu byonna n’oluvannyuma alyoke ayingire mu kitiibwa kye?” 27 (T)N’atandikira ku Musa n’ayitaayita mu bannabbi bonna ng’agenda abannyonnyola Ebyawandiikibwa bye bimwogerako.

33 Awo ne basituka mangu ne baddayo mu Yerusaalemi, ne basanga abayigirizwa ekkumi n’omu ne bannaabwe abalala nga bakuŋŋaanye, 34 (X)nga bagamba nti, “Ddala Mukama waffe azuukidde!

  1. 24:1 Lwassande, lwe lunaku olusooka mu wiiki

Jesus Is Raised

24 Now on the first day of the week, at very early dawn, they came back to the tomb bringing the fragrant spices which they had prepared. And they found the stone had been rolled away from the tomb, but when they[a] went in, they did not find the body.[b] And it happened that while they were perplexed about this, behold, two men in gleaming clothing stood near them. And as[c] they were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, they said to them, “Why are you looking for the living among the dead? He is not here, but has been raised! Remember how he spoke to you while he[d] was still in Galilee, saying that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of men who are sinners, and be crucified, and on the third day rise?” And they remembered his words, and when they[e] returned from the tomb, they reported all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. 10 Now Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James and the others with them were telling these things to the apostles. 11 And these words appeared to them as nonsense, and they refused to believe them. 12 But Peter got up and[f] ran to the tomb, and bending over to look, he saw only the strips of linen cloth, and he went away to his home[g] wondering what had happened.

Jesus Encountered on the Road to Emmaus

13 And behold, on that same day, two of them were traveling to a village named[h] Emmaus that was sixty stadia[i] distant from Jerusalem, 14 and they were conversing with one another about all these things that had happened. 15 And it happened that while they were conversing, and discussing, Jesus himself also approached and[j] began to go along with[k] them, 16 but their eyes were prevented from recognizing him. 17 And he said to them, “What are these matters that you are discussing with one another as you[l] are walking along?” And they stood still, looking sad. 18 And one of them, named[m] Cleopas, answered and[n] said to him, “Are you the only one living near Jerusalem and not knowing the things that have happened in it in these days?” 19 And he said to them, “What things?” So they said to him, “The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, a man who was a prophet, powerful in deed and word before God and all the people, 20 and how our chief priests and rulers handed him over to a sentence of death, and crucified him. 21 But we were hoping that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. But in addition to all these things, this is the third day since[o] these things took place. 22 But also some women from among us astonished us, who were at the tomb early in the morning, 23 and when they[p] did not find his body, they came back saying they had seen even a vision of angels, who said that he was alive! 24 And some of those with us went out to the tomb and found it[q] like this, just as the women had also said, but him they did not see.” 25 And he said to them, “O foolish and slow in heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! 26 Was it not necessary that the Christ suffer these things and enter into his glory?” 27 And beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he interpreted to them the things concerning himself in all the scriptures. 28 And they drew near to the village where they were going, and he acted as though he was going farther. 29 And they urged him strongly, saying, “Stay with us, because it is getting toward evening, and by this time the day is far spent.” And he went in to stay with them. 30 And it happened that when he reclined at the table with them, he took the bread and[r] gave thanks, and after[s] breaking it,[t] he gave it[u] to them. 31 And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him, and he became invisible to them. 32 And they said to one another, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he was speaking with us on the road, while he was explaining the scriptures to us?” 33 And they got up that same hour and[v] returned to Jerusalem and found the eleven and those with them assembled, 34 saying, “The Lord has really been raised, and has appeared to Simon!” 35 And they began describing[w] what happened[x] on the road, and how he was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.

Jesus Appears to His Disciples

36 And while[y] they were saying these things, he himself stood there among them.[z] 37 But they were startled and became terrified, and[aa] thought they had seen a ghost. 38 And he said to them, “Why are you frightened? And for what reason do doubts arise in your hearts? 39 Look at my hands and my feet, that I am I myself! Touch me and see, because a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see that I have.”[ab] 40 And when he[ac] had said this, he showed them his[ad] hands and his[ae] feet. 41 And while[af] they were still disbelieving because of joy and were marveling, he said to them, “Do you have anything to eat[ag] here?” 42 So they gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43 and he took it[ah] and[ai] ate it[aj] in front of them.

Jesus Commissions His Disciples

44 And he said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I[ak] was still with you, that everything that is written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and psalms must be fulfilled.” 45 Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures, 46 and said to them, “Thus it is written that the Christ would suffer and would rise from the dead on the third day, 47 and repentance and the forgiveness[al] of sins would be proclaimed in his name to all the nations,[am] beginning from Jerusalem. 48 You are witnesses of these things. 49 And behold, I am sending out[an] what was promised by my Father upon you, but you stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.”

The Ascension

50 And he led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands, he blessed them. 51 And it happened that while he was blessing them, he parted from them and was taken up into heaven. 52 And they worshiped him and[ao] returned to Jerusalem with great joy. 53 And they were continually[ap] in the temple courts[aq] praising God.
