Luke 24

1
English · Berean Standard Bible

On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women came to the tomb, bringing the spices they had prepared.

2
English · Berean Standard Bible

They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,

3
English · Berean Standard Bible

but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

4
English · Berean Standard Bible

While they were puzzling over this, suddenly two men in radiant apparel stood beside them.

5
English · Berean Standard Bible

As the women bowed their faces to the ground in terror, the two men asked them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead?

6
English · Berean Standard Bible

He is not here; He has risen! Remember how He told you while He was still in Galilee:

7
English · Berean Standard Bible

‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’”

8
English · Berean Standard Bible

Then they remembered His words.

9
English · Berean Standard Bible

And when they returned from the tomb, they reported all these things to the Eleven and to all the others.

10
English · Berean Standard Bible

It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told this to the apostles.

11
English · Berean Standard Bible

But their words seemed like nonsense to them, and they did not believe the women.

12
English · Berean Standard Bible

Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. And after bending down and seeing only the linen cloths, he went away, wondering to himself what had happened.

13
English · Berean Standard Bible

That same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.

14
English · Berean Standard Bible

They were talking with each other about everything that had happened.

15
English · Berean Standard Bible

And as they talked and deliberated, Jesus Himself came up and walked along with them.

16
English · Berean Standard Bible

But their eyes were kept from recognizing Him.

17
English · Berean Standard Bible

He asked them, “What are you discussing so intently as you walk along?” They stood still, with sadness on their faces.

18
English · Berean Standard Bible

One of them, named Cleopas, asked Him, “Are You the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in recent days?”

19
English · Berean Standard Bible

“What things?” He asked. “The events involving Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered. “This man was a prophet, powerful in speech and action before God and all the people.

20
English · Berean Standard Bible

Our chief priests and rulers delivered Him up to the sentence of death, and they crucified Him.

21
English · Berean Standard Bible

But we were hoping He was the One who would redeem Israel. And besides all this, it is the third day since these things took place.

22
English · Berean Standard Bible

Furthermore, some of our women astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning,

23
English · Berean Standard Bible

but they did not find His body. They came and told us they had seen a vision of angels, who said that Jesus was alive.

24
English · Berean Standard Bible

Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had described. But Him they did not see.”

25
English · Berean Standard Bible

Then Jesus said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

26
English · Berean Standard Bible

Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and then to enter His glory?”

27
English · Berean Standard Bible

And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was written in all the Scriptures about Himself.

28
English · Berean Standard Bible

As they approached the village where they were headed, He seemed to be going farther.

29
English · Berean Standard Bible

But they pleaded with Him, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening and the day is almost over.” So He went in to stay with them.

30
English · Berean Standard Bible

While He was reclining at the table with them, He took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to them.

31
English · Berean Standard Bible

Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Jesus—and He disappeared from their sight.

32
English · Berean Standard Bible

They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us as He spoke with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”

33
English · Berean Standard Bible

And they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, gathered together

34
English · Berean Standard Bible

and saying, “The Lord has indeed risen and has appeared to Simon!”

35
English · Berean Standard Bible

Then the two told what had happened on the road, and how they had recognized Jesus in the breaking of the bread.

36
English · Berean Standard Bible

While they were describing these events, Jesus Himself stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”

37
English · Berean Standard Bible

But they were startled and frightened, thinking they had seen a spirit.

38
English · Berean Standard Bible

“Why are you troubled,” Jesus asked, “and why do doubts arise in your hearts?

39
English · Berean Standard Bible

Look at My hands and My feet. It is I Myself. Touch Me and see—for a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”

40
English · Berean Standard Bible

And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and feet.

41
English · Berean Standard Bible

While they were still in disbelief because of their joy and amazement, He asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”

42
English · Berean Standard Bible

So they gave Him a piece of broiled fish,

43
English · Berean Standard Bible

and He took it and ate it in front of them.

44
English · Berean Standard Bible

Jesus said to them, “These are the words I spoke to 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.”

45
English · Berean Standard Bible

Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.

46
English · Berean Standard Bible

And He told them, “This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,

47
English · Berean Standard Bible

and in His name repentance and forgiveness of sins will be proclaimed to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem.

48
English · Berean Standard Bible

You are witnesses of these things.

49
English · Berean Standard Bible

And behold, I am sending the promise of My Father upon you. But remain in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”

50
English · Berean Standard Bible

When Jesus had led them out as far as Bethany, He lifted up His hands and blessed them.

51
English · Berean Standard Bible

While He was blessing them, He left them and was carried up into heaven.

52
English · Berean Standard Bible

And they worshiped Him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

53
English · Berean Standard Bible

praising God continually in the temple.
