| The Book of Luke 24 | ||||||||||||||||
| The Weymouth New Testament Online Bible (WEY) | ||||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:1 | And, on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb bringing the spices they had prepared. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:2 | But they found the stone rolled back from the tomb, | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:3 | and on entering they found that the body of the Lord Jesus was not there. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:4 | At this they were in great perplexity, when suddenly there stood by them two men whose raiment flashed like lightning. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:5 | The women were terrified; but, as they stood with their faces bowed to the ground, the men said to them, "Why do you search among the dead for Him who is living? | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:6 | He is not here. He has come back to life. Remember how He spoke to you while He was still in Galilee, | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:7 | when He told you that the Son of Man must be betrayed into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again." | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:8 | Then they remembered His words, | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:9 | and returning from the tomb they reported all this to the Eleven and to all the rest. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:10 | The women were Mary of Magdala, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James; and they and the rest of the women related all this to the Apostles. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:11 | But the whole story seemed to them an idle tale; they could not believe the women. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:12 | Peter, however, rose and ran to the tomb. Stooping and looking in, he saw nothing but the linen cloths: so he went away to his own home, wondering at what had happened. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:13 | On that same day two of the disciples were walking to Emmaus, a village seven or eight miles from Jerusalem, | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:14 | and were conversing about all these recent events; | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:15 | and, in the midst of their conversation and discussion, Jesus Himself came and joined them, | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:16 | though they were prevented from recognizing Him. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:17 | "What is the subject," He asked them, "on which you are talking so earnestly, as you walk?" And they stood still, looking full of sorrow. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:18 | Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered, "Are you a stranger lodging alone in Jerusalem, that you have known nothing of the things that have lately happened in the city?" | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:19 | "What things?" He asked. "The things about Jesus the Nazarene," they said, "who was a Prophet powerful in work and word before God and all the people; | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:20 | and how our High Priests and Rulers delivered Him up to be sentenced to death, and crucified Him. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:21 | But we were hoping that it was He who was about to ransom Israel. Yes, and moreover it was the day before yesterday that these things happened. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:22 | And, besides, some of the women of our company have amazed us. They went to the tomb at daybreak, | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:23 | and, finding that His body was not there, they came and declared to us that they had also seen a vision of angels who said that He was alive. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:24 | Thereupon some of our party went to the tomb and found things just as the women had said; but Jesus Himself they did not see." | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:25 | "O dull-witted men," He replied, "with minds so slow to believe all that the Prophets have spoken! | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:26 | Was there not a necessity for the Christ thus to suffer, and then enter into His glory?" | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:27 | And, beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them the passages in Scripture which refer to Himself. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:28 | When they had come near the village to which they were going, He appeared to be going further. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:29 | But they pressed Him to remain with them. "Because," said they, "it is getting towards evening, and the day is nearly over." So He went in to stay with them. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:30 | But as soon as He had sat down with them, and had taken the bread and had blessed and broken it, and was handing it to them, | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:31 | their eyes were opened and they recognized Him. But He vanished from them. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:32 | "Were not our hearts," they said to one another, "burning within us while He talked to us on the way and explained the Scriptures to us?" | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:33 | So they rose and without an hour's delay returned to Jerusalem, and found the Eleven and the rest met together, who said to them, | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:34 | "Yes, it is true: the Master has come back to life. He has been seen by Simon." | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:35 | Then they related what had happened on the way, and how He had been recognized by them in the breaking of the bread. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:36 | While they were thus talking, He Himself stood in their midst and said, "Peace be to you!" | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:37 | Startled, and in the utmost alarm, they thought they were looking at a spirit; | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:38 | but He said to them, "Why such alarm? And why are there such questionings in your minds? | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:39 | See my hands and my feet it is my very self. Feel me and see, for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see I have." | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:40 | And then He showed them His hands and His feet. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:41 | But, while they still could not believe it for joy and were full of astonishment, He asked them, "Have you any food here?" | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:42 | And they gave Him a piece of roasted fish, | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:43 | and He took it and ate it in their presence. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:44 | And He said to them, "This is what I told you while I was still with you that everything must be fulfilled that is written in the Law of Moses and in the Prophets and the Psalms concerning me." | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:45 | Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:46 | and He said, "Thus it is written that the Christ would suffer and on the third day rise again from among the dead; | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:47 | and that proclamation would be made, in His name, of repentance and forgiveness of sins to all the nations, beginning in Jerusalem. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:48 | You are witnesses as to these things. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:49 | And remember that I am about to send out my Father's promised gift to rest upon you. But, as for you, wait patiently in the city until you are clothed with power from on high." | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:50 | And He brought them out to within view of Bethany, and then lifted up His hands and blessed them. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:51 | And while He was blessing them, He parted from them and was carried up into Heaven. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:52 | They worshipped Him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 24:53 | Afterwards they were continually in attendance at the Temple, blessing God. | |||||||||||||||
