Seeker Overlay ON

* And [on ] the first of the sabbaths , while still very early , they came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared , and certain others with them . * But they found the stone rolled away from the tomb . * And going in , they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus . * And as they were much perplexed about it , it happened that , behold , two men stood by them in shining garments . * And as they were afraid , and bowed [their ] faces down to the earth , they said to them , Why do you seek the living among the dead ? * He is not here , but has risen . Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee , * saying , The Son of man must be delivered into [the ] hands of sinful men and be crucified , and the third day rise again ? * And they remembered His words * and returned from the tomb and told all these things to the Eleven and to the rest . * It was Mary Magdalene , and Joanna , and Mary [the mother ] of James , and the rest with them , who told these things to the apostles . * And their words seemed to them like foolishness , and they did not believe them . * And Peter arose and ran to the tomb , and stooping down he saw the linens lying alone . And he went away wondering to himself at what had happened . * And behold , two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus , it being [about ] sixty stadia from Jerusalem . * And they talked to each other of all these things which had happened . * And while they talked and reasoned , it happened that Jesus Himself drew near and went with them . * But their eyes were held [so that ] they could not know Him . * And He said to them , What words [are ] these that you have with one another [as ] you walk , and are so sad ? * And one of them , whose name was Cleopas , answered and said to Him , [Are ] you only a stranger in Jerusalem and have not known the things which have occurred there in these days ? * And He said to them , What things ? And they said to Him , The things concerning Jesus of Nazareth , who was a man , a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people , * and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered Him to [the ] judgment of death , and have crucified Him . * But we had trusted that He was the One who was about to redeem Israel . And besides all this , today is the third day since these things were done . * Yes , and also some of our women astounded us , having been early at the tomb ; * and when they did not find His body , [they ] came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels , who said that He was alive . * And some of those with us went to the tomb and found [it ] even as the women had said . But they did not see Him . * And He said to them , O fools and slow of heart to believe all things that the prophets spoke ! * Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and to enter into His glory ? * And beginning at Moses and all the prophets , He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself . * And they drew near the village where they were going . And He appeared to be going further . * But they constrained Him , saying , Stay with us , for it is toward evening and the day is far spent . And He went in to stay with them . * And it happened [as ] He reclined with them , taking the loaf , He blessed [it ], and breaking it , He gave to them . * And their eyes were opened , and they knew Him . And He became invisible to them . * And they said to one another , Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us by the way and while He opened the Scriptures to us ? * And they rose up the same hour and returned to Jerusalem and found assembled the Eleven and those with them . * And they said , the Lord has indeed risen , and has appeared to Simon . * And in the way they related the things happening , and how He had been known by them in breaking of the loaf .
