noyes Luke:24:1-12 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Now on the first day of the week ,
very early in the morning ,
they came to the tomb ,
bringing the spices which they had prepared .
*
And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb ;
*
and on entering they found not the body of the Lord Jesus .
*
And it came to pass ,
as they were much perplexed about this ,
lo !
two men stood by them in glittering apparel ;
*
and when they were terrified ,
and bowed their faces to the earth ,
the men said to them ,
Why seek ye the living among the dead ?
*
He is not here ,
but hath risen .
Remember how be spoke to you while yet in Galilee ,
*
saying ,
The Son of man must be delivered up into the hands of sinners ,
and be crucified ,
and rise again on the third day .
*
And they remembered his words .
*
And returning from the tomb ,
they told all these things to the eleven ,
and to all the rest .
*
It was Mary the Magdalene ,
and Joanna ,
and Mary the mother of James ;
and the other women with them told these things to the apostles .
*
And these words seemed to them as an idle tale ,
and they did not believe them .

And lo !
two of them were going the same day to a village called Emmaus ,
distant a hundred and sixty furlongs from Jerusalem .
*
And they were conversing together about all those things which had taken place .
*
And it came to pass ,
while they were conversing and reasoning ,
that Jesus himself drew near ,
and went with them .
*
But their eyes were restrained from knowing him .
*
And he said to them ,
What discourse is this which ye have one with another ,
as ye are walking ?
And they stood sad .
*
And one ,
whose name was Cleopas ,
answering said to him ,
Art thou the only sojourner in Jerusalem that doth not know the things which have come to pass there in these days ?
*
And he said to them ,
What things ?
And they said to him ,
The things relating to Jesus the Nazarene ,
who was a prophet mighty in word and deed before God and all the people ;
*
and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death ,
and crucified him .
*
But we are hoping that it is he who is to redeem Israel ;
moreover ,
besides all this ,
it is the third day since these things were done .
*
And furthermore certain women of our company have amazed us ;
for going early to the tomb ,
*
they did not find his body ,
and came ,
saying that they had even seen a vision of angels ,
who said that he was alive .
*
And some of those who were with us went to the tomb ,
and found it to be as the women had said ;
but him they saw not .
*
And he said to them ,
O dull of apprehension ,
and slow of heart to believe all that the Prophets have spoken !
*
Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things ,
and enter into his glory ?
*
And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets he explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself .
*
And they drew near to the village whither they were going ;
and he made as though he would go further .
*
But they constrained him ,
saying ,
Abide with us ,
for it is towards evening ,
and the day is now far spent .
And he went in to stay with them .
*
And it came to pass ,
as he was at table with them ,
that he took the bread ,
and blessed it ,
and broke and gave it to them .
*
And their eyes were opened ,
and they knew him ;
and he vanished out of their sight .
*
And they said one to another ,
Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked with us on the way ,
while he opened to us the Scriptures ?
*
And they rose up the same hour ,
and returned to Jerusalem ;
and they found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together ,
*
saying ,
The Lord hath risen indeed ,
and hath appeared to Simon .
*
And they told what had happened on the way ,
and how he became known to them in the breaking of the bread .
*
And while they were thus speaking ,
he himself stood in the midst of them .
*
But they were terrified and affrighted ,
and supposed that they beheld a spirit .
*
And he said to them ,
Why are ye troubled ?
and why do doubts arise in your hearts ?
*
See my hands and my feet ,
that it is I myself .
Handle me ,
and see ;
for a spirit hath not flesh and bones ,
as ye see me have .

And while they still disbelieved for joy ,
and wondered ,
he said to them ,
Have ye anything here to eat ?
*
And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish .
*
And he took and ate it before them .
*
And he said to them ,
These are my words which I spoke to you ,
while I was yet with you ,
that all things must be fulfilled which are written in the Law of Moses ,
and the Prophets ,
and the Psalms ,
concerning me .
*
Then he opened their understanding ,
that they might understand the Scriptures .
*
And he said to them ,
Thus it is written ,
that the Christ should suffer ,
and should rise from the dead on the third day ,
*
and that repentance for the remission of sins should be preached in his name among all the nations ,
beginning at Jerusalem .
*
Ye are witnesses of these things .
*
And I send forth upon you that which hath been promised by my Father ;
but do ye tarry in the city ,
until ye are endued with power from on high .
*
And he led them out as far as to Bethany ;
and he lifted up his hands and blessed them .
*
And it came to pass ,
while he blessed them ,
that he parted from them .
*
And they returned to Jerusalem with great joy ,
*
and were continually in the temple ,
praising God .
