Luke 24:7-44
7 saying that athe Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.” 8 And athey remembered His words, 9 and when they returned from the tomb, they reported all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. 10 Now aMary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James and the rest of the women with them were there; they were telling these things to bthe apostles. 11 But these words appeared to them as nonsense, and they awere not believing them. 12 But Peter stood up and aran to the tomb; and stooping to look in, he *saw the linen wrappings only. And he went away bby himself, marveling at what had happened.
The Road to Emmaus
13 And behold, atwo of them were going that same day to a village named Emmaus, which was sixty stadia from Jerusalem. 14 And they were conversing with each other about all these things which had happened. 15 And it happened that while they were conversing and debating, Jesus Himself approached and was going with them. 16 But atheir eyes were prevented from recognizing Him. 17 And He said to them, “What are these words that you are discussing with one another as you are walking?” And they stood still, looking sad. 18 And one of them, named Cleopas, answered and said to Him, “Are You the only one visiting Jerusalem and unaware of the things which have happened here in these days?” 19 And He said to them, “What things?” And they said to Him, “The things about aJesus the Nazarene, who was a mighty bprophet in deed and word in the sight of God and all the people, 20 and how the chief priests and our arulers delivered Him to the sentence of death, and crucified Him. 21 But we were hoping that it was He who was going to aredeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, it is the third day since these things happened. 22 But also some women among us astounded us. aWhen they were at the tomb early in the morning, 23 and not finding His body, they came, saying that they had also 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 exactly as the women also said, but Him they did not see.” 25 And He said to them, “O foolish ones and slow of heart to believe in all that athe prophets have spoken! 26 aWas it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?” 27 Then beginning with aMoses and with all the bprophets, He interpreted to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.
28 And they approached the village where they were going, and aHe acted as though He were going farther. 29 But they urged Him strongly, saying, “Stay with us, for it is toward evening, and the day is now nearly over.” So He went in to stay with them. 30 And it happened that when He had reclined at the table with them, He took the bread and ablessed it, and after breaking it, He was giving it to them. 31 Then their aeyes were opened and they recognized Him. And He vanished from their sight. 32 And they said to one another, “Were not our hearts burning within us while He was speaking to us on the road, while He awas opening the Scriptures to us?” 33 And they stood up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and afound gathered together the eleven and bthose with them, 34 who were saying, “aThe Lord has really risen and bhas appeared to Simon.” 35 And they were relating their experiences on the road and how aHe was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.
Jesus Appears to His Disciples
36 Now while they were telling these things, aHe Himself stood in their midst and *said to them, “Peace to you.” 37 But being startled and frightened, they were thinking that they were seeing aa spirit. 38 And He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? 39 aSee My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself; btouch 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 awere not believing because of their joy and were still marveling, He said to them, “bHave you anything here to eat?” 42 They gave Him a piece of a broiled fish, 43 and He took it and aate it before them.
44 Now He said to them, “aThese are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things which are written about Me in the bLaw of Moses and the Prophets and cthe Psalms must be fulfilled.”
