¹⁾Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, theythe women came unto the sepulchresepulcher, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.

²⁾And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchresepulcher, and two angels standing by it in shining garments.

³⁾And they entered ininto the sepulcher, and foundnot notfinding the body of the Lord Jesus., they were much perplexed thereabout;

⁴⁾And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: 5)And as they were afraidaffrighted, and bowed down their faces to the earth,. theyBut behold the angels said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?

⁶⁵⁾He is not here, but is risen:. rememberRemember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,

⁷⁶⁾Saying, The Son of manMan must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.?

⁸⁷⁾And they remembered his words,

⁹⁸⁾And returned from the sepulchresepulcher, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.

¹⁰⁹⁾It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women thatwho were with them, whichwho told these things unto the apostles.

¹¹¹⁰⁾And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.

¹²¹¹⁾Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre;sepulcher and stoopingwent downin, and he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves,; and he departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.

¹³¹²⁾And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescorethree-score furlongs.

¹⁴¹³⁾And they talked together of all these things which had happened.

¹⁵¹⁴⁾And it came to pass, that, while they communed together, and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.

¹⁶¹⁵⁾But their eyes were holden, or covered, that they shouldcould not know him.

¹⁷¹⁶⁾And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these thatwhich ye have one towith another, as ye walk, and are sad?

¹⁸¹⁷⁾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?

¹⁹¹⁸⁾And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, whichwho was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:;

²⁰¹⁹⁾And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.

²¹²⁰⁾But we trusted that it had been he whichwho should have redeemed Israel:. andAnd besidebesides all this, to -day is the third day since these things were done.;

²²²¹⁾Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, whichwho were early at the sepulchresepulcher;

²³²²⁾And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, whichwho said that he was alive.

²⁴²³⁾And certain of them whichwho were with us, went to the sepulchresepulcher, and found it even so as the women had said:; but him they saw not.

²⁵²⁴⁾Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:spoken!

²⁶²⁵⁾Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?

²⁷²⁶⁾And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

²⁸²⁷⁾And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went:; and he made as though he would have gone furtherfarther.

²⁹²⁸⁾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.

³⁰²⁹⁾And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.

³¹³⁰⁾And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanishedwas taken up out of their sight.

³²³¹⁾And they said one to another, Did not our hearthearts burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?

³³³²⁾And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and themthose thatwho were with them,

³⁴³³⁾Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.

³⁵³⁴⁾And they told what things werethey donesaw and heard in the way, and how he was known ofto them, in breaking of bread.

³⁶³⁵⁾And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saithsaid unto them, Peace be unto you.

³⁷³⁶⁾But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.

³⁸³⁷⁾And he said unto them, Why are yeyou troubled?, and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?

³⁹³⁸⁾Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I, myself:. handleHandle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as yeyou see me have.

⁴⁰³⁹⁾And whenWhen he had thus spoken, he shewedshowed them his hands and his feet.

⁴¹⁴⁰⁾And while they yet wondered and believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?

⁴²⁴¹⁾And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and ofa anhoney honeycombcomb.

⁴³⁴²⁾And he took it, and did eat before them.

⁴⁴⁴³⁾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 psalmsPsalms, concerning me.

⁴⁵⁴⁴⁾Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,

⁴⁶⁴⁵⁾And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behovedbehooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:;

⁴⁷⁴⁶⁾And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

⁴⁸⁴⁷⁾And ye are witnesses of these things.

⁴⁹⁴⁸⁾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.

⁵⁰⁴⁹⁾And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.

⁵¹⁵⁰⁾And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was partedtaken from them, and carried up into heaven.

⁵²⁵¹⁾And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:;

⁵³⁵²⁾And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
