24On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb.G1161G3391G4521G3722G901G2064G1909G3418G5342G759G3739G2090G2532G5100G4862G8462They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,G1161G2147G3037G617G575G34193but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.G2532G1525G2147G3756G4983G2962G24244While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them.G2532G1096G1722G846G1280G4012G5127G2532G2400G1417G435G2186G846G1722G797G20675In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, "Why do you look for the living among the dead?G1161G1096G846G1096G1719G2532G2827G4383G1519G1093G2036G4314G846G5101G2212G2198G3326G34986He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee:G2076G3756G5602G235G1453G3415G5613G2980G5213G5607G2089G1722G10567'The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.' "G3004G3754G5207G444G1163G3860G1519G5495G268G444G2532G4717G2532G5154G2250G4508Then they remembered his words.G2532G3415G846G44879When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others.G2532G5290G575G3419G518G3956G5023G1733G2532G3956G306210It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles.G1161G2258G3137G3094G2532G2489G2532G3137G2385G2532G3062G4862G846G3739G3004G5023G4314G65211But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense.G2532G846G4487G5316G1799G846G5616G3026G2532G569G846G56912Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. Bending over, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he went away, wondering to himself what had happened.G1161G450G4074G5143G1909G3419G2532G3879G991G3608G2749G3441G2532G565G2296G4314G1438G109613Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.G2532G2400G1417G1537G846G2258G4198G1722G846G2250G1519G2968G3739G3686G1695G568G575G2419G1835G471214They were talking with each other about everything that had happened.G2532G846G3656G4314G240G4012G3956G5130G481915As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them;G2532G1096G1722G846G3656G2532G4802G2424G2532G846G1448G4848G84616but they were kept from recognizing him.G1161G846G3788G2902G1921G3361G1921G84617He asked them, "What are you discussing together as you walk along?" They stood still, their faces downcast.G1161G2036G4314G846G5101G3056G3778G3739G474G4314G240G4043G2532G2075G465918One of them, named Cleopas, asked him, "Are you only a visitor to Jerusalem and do not know the things that have happened there in these days?"G1161G1520G3739G3686G2810G611G2036G4314G846G4771G3441G3939G1722G2419G2532G1097G3756G1097G1096G1722G846G1722G5025G225019"What things?" he asked. "About Jesus of Nazareth," they replied. "He was a prophet, powerful in word and deed before God and all the people.G2532G2036G846G4169G1161G2036G846G4012G2424G3480G3739G1096G4396G1415G1722G435G2041G2532G3056G1726G2316G2532G3956G299220The chief priests and our rulers handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him;G3704G5037G749G2532G2257G758G3860G846G1519G2917G2288G2532G4717G84621but we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. And what is more, it is the third day since all this took place.G1161G2249G1679G3754G2076G846G3195G3084G2474G235G1065G4862G3956G5125G4594G71G5026G5154G2250G575G3739G5023G109622In addition, some of our women amazed us. They went to the tomb early this morningG235G5100G1135G2532G1537G2257G1839G2248G1839G1096G3721G1909G341923but didn't find his body. They came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who said he was alive.G2532G2147G3361G846G4983G2064G3004G3708G2532G3708G3701G32G3739G3004G846G219824Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but him they did not see."G2532G5100G4862G2254G565G1909G3419G2532G2147G2532G3779G2531G1135G2036G1161G846G1492G375625He said to them, "How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken!G2532G846G2036G4314G846G5599G453G2532G1021G2588G4100G1909G3956G3739G4396G298026Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?"G1163G3780G5547G3958G5023G2532G1525G1519G846G139127And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.G2532G756G575G3475G2532G575G3956G4396G1329G846G1722G3956G1124G4012G143828As they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus continued on as if he were going farther.G2532G1448G1519G2968G3757G4198G2532G846G4364G4198G420829But they urged him strongly, "Stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over." So he went in to stay with them.G2532G3849G846G3004G3306G3326G2257G3754G2076G4314G2073G2532G2250G2827G2532G1525G3306G4862G84630When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them.G2532G1096G1722G846G2625G3326G846G2983G740G2127G2532G2806G1929G84631Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight.G1161G846G3788G1272G2532G1921G846G2532G846G1096G855G575G84632They asked each other, "Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?"G2532G2036G4314G240G2258G3780G2257G2588G2545G1722G2254G5613G2980G2254G1722G3598G2532G5613G1272G2254G112433They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, assembled togetherG2532G450G846G5610G5290G1519G2419G2532G2147G1733G4867G2532G4862G84634and saying, "It is true! The Lord has risen and has appeared to Simon."G3004G3754G2962G1453G3689G2532G3700G461335Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread.G2532G846G1834G1722G3598G2532G5613G1097G846G1722G2800G74036While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you."G1161G846G5023G2980G2424G846G2476G1722G3319G846G2532G3004G846G1515G521337They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost.G1161G4422G2532G1719G1096G1380G2334G415138He said to them, "Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds?G2532G2036G846G5101G2075G5015G2532G1302G1261G305G1722G5216G258839Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have."G1492G3450G5495G2532G3450G4228G3754G1510G1473G846G5584G3165G2532G1492G3754G4151G2192G3756G4561G2532G3747G2531G2334G1691G219240When he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet.G2532G5124G2036G1925G846G5495G2532G422841And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, "Do you have anything here to eat?"G1161G846G2089G569G575G5479G2532G2296G2036G846G2192G1759G5100G103442They gave him a piece of broiled fish,G1161G1929G846G3313G3702G2486G2532G575G3193G278143and he took it and ate it in their presence.G2532G2983G5315G1799G84644He said to them, "This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms."G1161G2036G846G3778G3056G3739G2980G4314G5209G5607G2089G4862G5213G3754G3956G1163G4137G3588G1125G1722G3551G3475G2532G4396G2532G5568G4012G170045Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures.G5119G1272G846G3563G4920G112446He told them, "This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,G2532G2036G846G3754G3779G1125G2532G3779G1163G5547G3958G2532G450G1537G3498G5154G225047and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.G2532G3341G2532G859G266G2784G1909G846G3686G1519G3956G1484G756G575G241948You are witnesses of these things.G1161G5210G2075G3144G513049I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high."G2532G2400G1473G649G1860G3450G3962G1909G5209G1161G2523G5210G1722G4172G2419G2193G3739G1746G1411G1537G531150When he had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany, he lifted up his hands and blessed them.G1161G1806G846G1854G2193G1519G963G2532G1869G846G5495G2127G84651While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up into heaven.G2532G1096G1722G846G2127G846G1339G575G846G2532G399G1519G377252Then they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy.G2532G846G4352G846G5290G1519G2419G3326G3173G547953And they stayed continually at the temple, praising God.G2532G2258G1275G1722G2411G134G2532G2127G2316G281
