6.7 KiB
Luke 24
- But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared.
- And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb,
- but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
- While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel.
- And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead?
- He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee,
- that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise.”
- And they remembered his words,
- and returning from the tomb they told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.
- Now it was Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James and the other women with them who told these things to the apostles,
- but these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them.
- But Peter rose and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths by themselves; and he went home marveling at what had happened.
- That very day two of them were going to a village named Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem,
- and they were talking with each other about all these things that had happened.
- While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus himself drew near and went with them.
- But their eyes were kept from recognizing him.
- And he said to them, “What is this conversation that you are holding with each other as you walk?” And they stood still, looking sad.
- Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?”
- And he said to them, “What things?” And they said to him, “Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, a man who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people,
- and how our chief priests and rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him.
- But we had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened.
- Moreover, some women of our company amazed us. They were at the tomb early in the morning,
- and when they did not find his body, they came back saying that they had even seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.
- Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but him they did not see.”
- And he said to them, “O foolish ones, 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 interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.
- So they drew near to the village to which they were going. He acted as if he were going farther,
- but they urged him strongly, saying, “Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the day is now far spent.” So he went in to stay with them.
- When he was at table with them, he took the bread and blessed and broke it and gave it to them.
- And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And he vanished from their sight.
- They said to each other, “Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the Scriptures?”
- And they rose that same hour and returned to Jerusalem. And they found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together,
- saying, “The Lord has risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!”
- Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread.
- As they were talking about these things, Jesus himself stood among them, and said to them, “Peace to you!”
- But they were startled and frightened and thought they saw a spirit.
- And he said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts?
- See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me, and see. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.”
- And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.
- And while they still disbelieved for joy and were marveling, he said to them, “Have you anything here to eat?”
- They gave him a piece of broiled fish,
- and he took it and ate before them.
- Then he said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.”
- Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures,
- and said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead,
- and that repentance for the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
- You are witnesses of these things.
- And behold, I am sending the promise of my Father upon you. But stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.”
- And he led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands he blessed them.
- While he blessed them, he parted from them and was carried up into heaven.
- And they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
- and were continually in the temple blessing God.
