Luke 24 📜 📕 ↷
Resurrection
1 AND in the first of the Sabboth very early they came to the monument, carrying the spices which they had prepared.📜💬📚
2 And they found the stone rolled back from the monument.📜💬📚
3 And going in, they found not the body of our Lord JESUS.📜💬📚
4 And it came to pass, as they were astonished in their mind at this, behold two men stood beside them in glistering apparel.📜💬📚
5 And when they feared and cast down their countenance toward the ground, they said unto them: Why seek you the living with the dead?📜💬📚
6 he is not here, but is risen. Remember how he spake to you, when he yet was in Galilee,📜💬📚
7 saying: That the Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinners and be crucified, and the third day rise again.📜💬📚
8 And they remembered his words.📜💬📚
9 And going back from the monument, they told all these things to those eleven, and to all the rest.📜💬📚
10 And it was Mary Magdalene, and Joane, and Mary of James, and the rest that were with them, which said these things to the Apostles.📜💬📚
11 And these words seemed before them as dotage, and they did not believe them.📜💬📚
12 But Peter rising up ran to the monument; and stooping down he saw the linen cloths lying alone, and went away marveling with himself at that which was done.📜💬📚
Road to Emmaus
13 And behold, two of them went the same day into a town which was the space of sixty furlongs from Jerusalem, named Emmaus.📜💬📚
14 And they talked betwixt themselves of all those things that had chanced.📜💬📚
15 And it came to pass, while they talked and reasoned with themselves, JESUS also himself approaching went with them.📜💬📚
16 But their eyes were held that they might not know him.📜💬📚
17 And he said to them: What are these communications that you confer one with another walking, and are sad?📜💬📚
18 And one whose name was Cleophas, answering, said to him: Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things that have been done in it, these days?📜💬📚
19 To whom he said: What things? And they said, concerning JESUS of Nazareth, who was a man a Prophet, mighty in work and word before God and all the people.📜💬📚
20 And how our chief Priests and Princes delivered him into condemnation of death, and crucified him.📜💬📚
21 But we hoped that it was he that should redeem Israel: and now besides all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.📜💬📚
22 But certain women also of ours, made us afraid: who before it was light, were at the monument,📜💬📚
23 and not finding his body, came, saying that they saw a vision also of Angels, who say that he is alive.📜💬📚
24 And certain men of ours went to the monument: and they found it so as the women said, but him they found not.📜💬📚
25 And he said to them: O foolish, and slow of heart to believe in all things which the Prophets have spoken.📜💬📚
26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and so to enter into his glory?📜💬📚
27 And beginning from Moyses and all the Prophets, he did interpret to them in all the scriptures the things that were concerning him.📜💬📚
28 And they drew nigh to the town whither they went: and he made semblance to go further.📜💬📚
29 And they forced him, saying: Tarry with us, because it is toward night, and the day is now far spent. And he went in with them.📜💬📚
30 And it came to pass, whiles he sat at the table with them, he took bread, and blessed and brake, and did reach to them.📜💬📚
31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him: and he vanished out of their sight.📜💬📚
32 And they said one to the other: Was not our heart burning in us, whiles he spake in the way, and opened unto us the scriptures?📜💬📚
33 And rising up the same hour they went back into Jerusalem: and they found the eleven gathered together, and those that were with them,📜💬📚
34 saying: That our Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.📜💬📚
35 And they told the things that were done in the way: and how they knew him in the breaking of bread.📜💬📚
Jesus Appears to the Disciples
36 And whiles they speak these things, JESUS stood in the midst of them, and he saith to them: Peace be to you; it is I, fear not.📜💬📚
37 But they being troubled and frighted, imagined that they saw a Spirit.📜💬📚
38 And he said to them: Why are you troubled, and cogitations arise into your hearts?📜💬📚
39 See my hands, and feet, that it is I my self: handle, and see: for a Spirit hath not flesh and bones, as you see me to have.📜💬📚
40 And when he had said this, he shewed them his hands and feet.📜💬📚
41 But they yet not believing and marveling for joy, he said: Have you here any thing to be eaten?📜💬📚
42 But they offered him a piece of fish broiled, and a honey comb.📜💬📚
43 And when he had eaten before them, taking the remains he gave to them.📜💬📚
44 And he said to them: These are the words which I spake to you, when I was yet with you, that all things must needs be fulfilled, which are written in the law of Moyses, and the Prophets, and the Psalms, of me.📜💬📚
45 Then he opened their understanding, that they might understand the Scriptures.📜💬📚
46 And he said to them: That so it is written, and so it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise again from the dead the third day:📜💬📚
47 and penance to be preached in his name and remission of sins unto all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.📜💬📚
48 And you are witnesses of these things.📜💬📚
49 And I send the promise of my Father upon you: but you, tarry in the city, till you be endued with power from high.📜💬📚
Ascension
50 And he brought them forth abroad into Bethania: and lifting up his hands he blessed them.📜💬📚
51 And it came to pass whiles he blessed them, he departed from them, and was carried into Heaven.📜💬📚
52 And they adoring went back into Jerusalem with great joy:📜💬📚
53 and they were always in the temple praising and blessing God. Amen.📜💬📚
