The Resurrection

# Chapter 24
|
|
1. But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared.
|
|
2. And they found 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, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel.
|
|
5. And as they were 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, while he was still in Galilee,
|
|
7. that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise."
|
|
8. And they remembered his words,
|
|
9. and returning from the tomb they told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.
|
|
10. Now it was Mary Magdalene and 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 they did not believe them.
|
|
12. But Peter rose and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths by themselves; and he went home marveling at what had happened.

On the Road to Emmaus
|
|
|
|
|
|
13. That very day two of them were going to a village named Emmaus, about seven miles 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. 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 a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people,
|
|
20. and how our chief priests and rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him.
|
|
21. But we had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened.
|
|
22. Moreover, some women of our company amazed us. They were at the tomb early in the morning,
|
|
23. and when they did not find his body, they came back saying that they had even seen a vision of angels, who said that 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 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. Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?"
|
|
27. And beginning with Moses and 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. He acted as if he were going farther,
|
|
29. but they urged him strongly, saying, "Stay with us, for it is toward evening and 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 blessed and broke it and gave it to them.
|
|
31. And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And he vanished from their sight.
|
|
32. They said to each other, "Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the Scriptures?"
|
|
33. And they rose that same hour and returned to Jerusalem. And they found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together,
|
|
34. saying, "The Lord has risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!"
|
|
35. Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread.

|
Jesus Appears to His Disciples
|
|
|
|
|
|
36. As they were talking about these things, Jesus himself stood among them, and said to them, *"Peace to you!"*
|
|
37. But they were startled and frightened and 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. 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, he showed them his hands and his feet.
|
|
41. And while they still disbelieved for joy and were marveling, he said to them, *"Have you anything here to eat?"*
|
|
42. They gave him a piece of broiled fish,
|
|
43. and he took it and ate before them.
|
|
|
|
44. Then he said to them, *"These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the 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 should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead,*
|
|
47. and that repentance for the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
|
|
48. You are witnesses of these things.
|
|
49. And behold, I am sending the promise of my Father upon you. But 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. While he blessed them, he parted from them and was carried up into heaven.
|
|
52. And they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
|
|
53. and were continually in the temple blessing God.
