Luke:24

Seeker Overlay ON

* But on the first of the sabbaths , while still very early , they came on the tomb , carrying spices which they prepared ; and some were with them . * And they found the stone having been rolled away from the tomb . * And going in , they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus . * And it happened , as they were perplexed about this , even behold , two men in shining clothing stood by them . * And they becoming terrified , and bowing their faces to the earth , they said to them , Why do you seek the living with the dead ? * He is not here , but was raised . Remember how He spoke to you , yet being in Galilee , * saying , The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men , and to be crucified , and the third day to rise again . * And they remembered His words . * And returning from the tomb , they reported all these things to the Eleven , and to all the rest . * And they were Mary Magdalene , and Joanna , and Mary mother of James , and the rest with them , who told these things to the apostles . * And their words seemed like foolishness to them , and they did not believe them . * But rising up , Peter ran to the tomb , and stooping down he saw the linen lying alone . And he went away wondering to himself at what had happened . * And , behold , two of them were going on the same day to a village being sixty stadia distant from Jerusalem , which was named Emmaus . * And they talked to each other about all these things taking place . * And it happened , as they talked and reasoned , coming near , Jesus Himself traveled with them . * But their eyes were held so as not to recognize Him . * And He said to them , What words are these which you exchange with each other while walking , and are sad of face ? * And answering , one of them whose name was Cleopas , said to Him , Are you only one who resides in Jerusalem and do not know the things happening in it in these days ? * And He said to them , What things ? And they said to Him , The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene , 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 crucified Him . * But we were hoping that He is the One going to redeem Israel . But then with all these things , this third day comes today since these things happened . * And also some of our women astounded us , having been early at the tomb , * and not finding His body , they came saying to have seen a vision of angels also , who say Him to be alive . * And some of those with us went to the tomb , and found it so , even as the women also said ; but they did not see Him . * And He said to them , O foolish ones , and slow of heart to believe on all things which the prophets spoke ! * Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things , and to enter into His glory ? * And beginning from Moses , and from all the prophets , He explained to them the things about Himself in all the Scriptures . * And they drew near to the village where they were going , and He seemed to be going further . * And they constrained Him , saying , Stay with us , for it is toward evening , and the day has declined . And He went in to stay with them . * And it happened as He reclined with them , taking the loaf , He blessed , and breaking He gave to them . * And their eyes were opened , and they knew Him . And He became invisible from them . * And they said to one another , Was not our heart burning in us as He spoke to us in the highway , and as He opened up to us the Scriptures ? * And rising up in the same hour , they went back to Jerusalem , and they found the Eleven , and those with them , having been gathered , * saying , The Lord really was raised and appeared to Simon . * And they related the things in the highway , and how He was known to them in the breaking of the loaf . * And as they were telling these things , Jesus Himself stood in their midst , and said to them , Peace to you ! * But being terrified and filled with fear , they thought they saw a spirit . * And He said to them , Why are you troubled ? And why do reasonings come up in your hearts . * See My hands and My feet , that I am He ? Feel Me and see , because a spirit does not have flesh and bones , as you see Me having . * And saying this , He showed them His hands and feet . * But yet they not believing from the joy , and marveling , He said to them , Have you any food here ? * And they handed a broiled part of a fish to Him , and from a honeycomb . * And taking these before them , He ate . * And He said to them , These are the words which I spoke to you yet being with you , that must be fulfilled all the things having been written in the Law of Moses , and the Prophets , and the Psalms , concerning Me . * Then He opened up their mind to understand the Scriptures , * and said to them , So it is written , and so the Christ must suffer , and to rise from the dead the third day . No OT passage * And repentance and remission of sins must be preached on His name to all the nations , beginning from Jerusalem . * And you are witnesses of these things . * And , behold , I send forth the promise of My Father on you . But you sit in the city of Jerusalem until you are clothed with power from on high . * He led them out as far as to Bethany . And lifting up His hands , He blessed them . * And it happened as He blessed them , He withdrew from them and was carried into Heaven . * And worshiping Him , they returned to Jerusalem with great joy , * and were continually in the temple , praising and blessing God . Amen .
