Now upon the first
day of the week
, very early in the morning
, they came
unto
the sepulchre
, bringing
the spices
which
they had prepared
, and
certain
others with
them
.
And they found
the stone
rolled away
from
the sepulchre
.
And they entered in
, and found
not
the body
of the Lord
Jesus
.
And it came to pass
, as
they
were much perplexed
thereabout
,
behold
, two
men
stood by
them
in
shining
garments
:
And as
they
were
afraid
, and
bowed down
their faces
to
the earth
, they said
unto
them
, Why
seek ye
the living
among
the dead
?
He is not
here
, but
is risen
: remember
how
he spake
unto you
when he was
yet
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 sepulchre
, and told
all
these things
unto the eleven
, and
to all
the rest
.
It was
Mary
Magdalene
, and
Joanna
, and
Mary
the mother of James
, and
other
women that were with
them
, which
told
these things
unto
the apostles
.
And their
words
seemed
to
them
as
idle tales
, and
they believed
them
not
.
Then arose
Peter
, and ran
unto
the sepulchre
; and
stooping down
, he beheld
the linen clothes
laid
by themselves
, and
departed
, wondering
in
himself
at that which was come to pass
.
And, behold
, two
of
them
went
that
same
day
to
a village
called
Emmaus
, which was
from
Jerusalem
about threescore
furlongs
.
And they
talked
together
of
all
these things
which had happened
.
And it came to pass
, that, while
they
communed
together and
reasoned
, Jesus
himself
drew near
, and went with
them
.
But their
eyes
were holden
that they should
not
know
him
.
And he said
unto
them
, What
manner of communications
are these
that
ye have
one to
another
, as ye walk
, and
are
sad
?
And the one of them
, whose
name
was Cleopas
, answering
said
unto
him
, Art thou
only
a stranger
in
Jerusalem
, and
hast
not
known
the things which are come to pass
there
in
these
days
?
And he said
unto them
, What things
? And
they said
unto him
, Concerning
Jesus
of Nazareth
, which
was
a prophet
mighty
in
deed
and
word
before
God
and
all
the people
:
And how the chief priests
and
our
rulers
delivered
him
to
be condemned
to death
, and
have crucified
him
.
But we
trusted
that
it had been
he
which should
have redeemed
Israel
: and
beside
all
this
, to day
is
the
third
day
since
these things
were done
.
Yea, and certain
women
also
of
our company
made
us
astonished
, which were
early
at
the sepulchre
;
And when they found
not
his
body
, they came
, saying
, that they had
also
seen
a vision
of angels
, which
said
that he
was alive
.
And certain of them
which were with
us
went
to
the sepulchre
, and
found
it even
so
as
the women
had said
: but
him
they saw
not
.
Then he
said
unto
them
, O
fools
, and
slow
of heart
to believe
all
that
the prophets
have spoken
:
Ought not
Christ
to have suffered
these things
, and
to enter
into
his
glory
?
And beginning
at
Moses
and
all
the prophets
, he expounded
unto them
in
all
the scriptures
the things concerning
himself
.
And they drew nigh
unto
the village
, whither
they went
: and
he
made as though
he would have gone
further
.
But they constrained
him
, saying
, Abide
with
us
: for
it is
toward
evening
, and
the day
is far spent
. And
he went in
to tarry
with
them
.
And it came to pass
, as
he
sat at meat
with
them
, he took
bread
, and blessed
it , and
brake
, and gave
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
heart
burn
within
us
, while
he talked
with us
by
the way
, and
while
he opened
to us
the scriptures
?
And they rose up
the same
hour
, and returned
to
Jerusalem
, and
found
the eleven
gathered together
, and
them that were with
them
,
Saying,
The Lord
is risen
indeed
, and
hath appeared
to Simon
.
And they
told
what things were done in
the way
, and
how
he was known
of them
in
breaking
of bread
.
And as they
thus
spake
, Jesus
himself
stood
in
the midst
of them
, and
saith
unto them
, Peace
be unto you
.
But they were terrified
and
affrighted
, and supposed
that they had seen
a spirit
.
And he said
unto them
, Why
are ye
troubled
? and
why
do thoughts
arise
in
your
hearts
?
Behold 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 when he had thus
spoken
, he shewed
them
his hands
and
his feet
.
And while they
yet
believed not
for
joy
, and
wondered
, he said
unto them
, Have ye
here
any
meat
?
And they gave
him
a piece
of a broiled
fish
, and
of
an honeycomb
.
And he took
it , and did eat
before
them
.
And he said
unto them
, These
are the words
which
I spake
unto
you
, while
I was yet
with
you
, that
all things
must
be fulfilled
, which
were written
in
the law
of Moses
, and
in the prophets
, and
in the psalms
, concerning
me
.
Then opened he
their
understanding
, that they might understand
the scriptures
,
And said
unto them
, Thus
it is written
, and
thus
it behoved
Christ
to suffer
, and
to rise
from
the dead
the third
day
:
And that repentance
and
remission
of sins
should be preached
in
his
name
among
all
nations
, beginning
at
Jerusalem
.
And ye
are
witnesses
of these things
.
And, behold
, I
send
the promise
of my
Father
upon
you
: but
tarry
ye
in
the city
of Jerusalem
, until
ye
be 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
, he was parted
from
them
, and
carried up
into
heaven
.
And they
worshipped
him
, and returned
to
Jerusalem
with
great
joy
:
And were
continually
in
the temple
, praising
and
blessing
God
. Amen
.
