Luke 24

¹Now vpon the first day of the weeke, very earely in the morning, they came vnto the Sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certaine others with them.

²And they found the stone rolled away from the Sepulchre.

³And they entred in, and found not the body of the Lord Iesus.

⁴And it came to passe, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments.

⁵And as they were afraid, and bowed downe their faces to the earth, they said vnto them, Why seek ye the liuing among the dead?

⁶He is not heere, but is risen: Remember how he spake vnto you when he was yet in Galilee,

⁷Saying, The Sonne of man must be deliuered into the hands of sinfull men, and be crucified, and the third day rise againe.

⁸And they remembred his words,

⁹And returned from the Sepulchre, and told all these things vnto the eleuen, and to all the rest.

¹⁰It was Marie Magdalene, & Ioanna, & Mary the mother of Iames, and other women that were with them, which tolde these things vnto the Apostles.

¹¹And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they beleeued them not.

¹²Then arose Peter, and ranne vnto the Sepulchre, and stowping downe, hee behelde the linnen clothes layd by themselues, and departed, wondering in himselfe at that which was come to passe.

¹³And behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emaus, which was from Hierusalem about threescore furlongs.

¹⁴And they talked together of all these things which had happened.

¹⁵And it came to passe, that while they communed together, and reasoned, Iesus himselfe drew neere, and went with them.

¹⁶But their eyes were holden, that they should not know him.

¹⁷And he said vnto them, What maner of communications are these that yee haue one to another as yee walke, and are sad?

¹⁸And the one of them, whose name was Cleophas, answering, saide vnto him, Art thou onely a stranger in Hierusalem, and hast not knowen the things which are come to passe there in these dayes?

¹⁹And hee saide vnto them, What things? And they said vnto him, Concerning Iesus of Nazareth, which was a Prophet, mighty in deede and word before God, and all the people.

²⁰And how the chiefe Priests and our rulers deliuered him to be condemned to death, and haue crucified him.

²¹But wee trusted that it had bene hee, which should haue redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.

²²Yea, and certaine women also of our company made vs astonished, which were early at the Sepulchre:

²³And when they found not his bodie, they came, saying, that they had also seene a vision of Angels, which saide that he was aliue.

²⁴And certaine of them which were with vs, went to the Sepulchre, and found it euen so as the women had said, but him they saw not.

²⁵Then hee saide vnto them, O fooles, and slow of heart to beleeue all that the Prophets haue spoken:

²⁶Ought not Christ to haue suffered these things, and to enter into his glorie?

²⁷And beginning at Moses, and all the Prophets, hee expounded vnto them in all the Scriptures, the things concerning himselfe.

²⁸And they drew nigh vnto the village, whither they went, and hee made as though hee would haue gone further.

²⁹But they constrained him, saying, Abide with vs, for it is towards euening, and the day is farre spent: And he went in, to tarrie with them.

³⁰And it came to passe, as hee sate at meate with them, hee tooke bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gaue to them.

³¹And their eyes were opened, and they knew him, and he vanished out of their sight.

³²And they said one vnto another, Did not our heart burne within vs, while hee talked with vs by the way, and while hee opened to vs the Scriptures?

³³And they rose vp the same houre, and returned to Hierusalem, and found the eleuen gathered together, and them that were with them,

³⁴Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.

³⁵And they told what things were done in the way, & how he was knowen of them in breaking of bread.

³⁶And as they thus spake, Iesus himselfe stood in the midst of them, and sayeth vnto them, Peace bee vnto you.

³⁷But they were terrified, and afrighted, and supposed that they had seene a spirit.

³⁸And he said vnto them, Why are yee troubled, and why doe thoughts arise in your hearts?

³⁹Beholde my hands and my feete, that it is I my selfe: handle me, and see, for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me haue.

⁴⁰And when hee had thus spoken, hee shewed them his handes and his feete.

⁴¹And while they yet beleeued not for ioy, and wondered, hee saide vnto them, Haue ye here any meat?

⁴²And they gaue him a piece of a broyled fish, and of an hony combe.

⁴³And he tooke it, and did eate before them.

⁴⁴And hee said vnto them, These are the words which I spake vnto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the Law of Moses, & in the Prophets, and in the Psalmes concerning me.

⁴⁵Then opened he their vnderstanding, that they might vnderstand the Scriptures,

⁴⁶And said vnto them, Thus it is written, & thus it behoued Christ to suffer, & to rise from the dead the third day:

⁴⁷And that repentance and remission of sinnes should be preached in his Name, among all nations, beginning at Hierusalem.

⁴⁸And yee are witnesses of these things.

⁴⁹And behold, I send the promise of my Father vpon you: but tarie ye in the citie of Hierusalem, vntill ye be indued with power from on high.

⁵⁰And he led them out as farre as to Bethanie, and hee lift vp his hands, and blessed them.

⁵¹And it came to passe, while hee blessed them, hee was parted from them, and caried vp into heauen.

⁵²And they worshipped him, and returned to Hierusalem, with great ioy:

⁵³And were continually in the Temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
