But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices which they had prepared. 2 And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they went in they did not find the body. * 4 While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel; 5 and as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, \u201cWhy do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen.\u201d * 6*\u00a0 \u201cRemember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, 7 that the Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise.\u201d 8 And they remembered his words, 9 and returning from the tomb they told all this to the eleven and to all the rest. 10*\u00a0 Now it was Mary Magdalene and Jo-anna and Mary the mother of James and the other women with them who told this to the apostles; 11 but these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them. 12 But Peter rose and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw the linen clothes by themselves; and he went home wondering at what had happened\u201d\u00a0 *<\/p>\n
13 That very day two of them were going to a village named Emmaus, about seven miles * from Jerusalem, 14 and talking with each other about all these things that had happened. 15 While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus himself drew near and went with them. 16*\u00a0 But their eyes were kept from recognizing him. 17 And he said to them, \u201cWhat is this conversation which you are holding with each other as you walk?\u201d And they stood still, looking sad. 18 Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered him, \u201cAre you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?\u201d 19*\u00a0 And he said to them, \u201cWhat things?\u201d And they said to him, \u201cConcerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, 20 and how our chief priests and rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him. 21 But we had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since this happened. 22 Moreover, some women of our company amazed us. They were at the tomb early in the morning 23 and did not find his body; and they came back saying that they had even seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive. 24*\u00a0 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.\u201d 25 And he said to them, \u201cO foolish men, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! 26 Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?\u201d 27*\u00a0 And beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.<\/p>\n
28*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 So they drew near to the village to which they were going. He appeared to be going further, 29 but they constrained him, saying, \u201cStay with us, for it is toward evening and the day is now far spent.\u201d So he went in to stay with them. 30*\u00a0 When he was at table with them, he took the bread and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them. 31 And their eyes were opened and they recognized him; and he vanished out of their sight. 32 They said to each other, \u201cDid not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the scriptures?\u201d 33 And they rose that same hour and returned to Jerusalem; and they found the eleven gathered together and those who were with them, 34*\u00a0 who said, \u201cThe Lord has risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!\u201d 35 Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread.<\/p>\n
36*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 As they were saying this, Jesus himself stood among them, and said to them, \u201cPeace to you.\u201d * 37 But they were startled and frightened, and supposed that they saw a spirit. 38 And he said to them, \u201cWhy are you troubled, and why do questionings rise in your hearts? 39*\u00a0 See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself; handle me, and see; for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see that I have.\u201d 40 And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet. * 41 And while they still disbelieved for joy, and wondered, he said to them, \u201cHave you anything here to eat?\u201d 42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43 and he took it and ate before them.<\/p>\n
44*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Then he said to them, \u201cThese are my words which 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.\u201d 45 Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures, 46*\u00a0 and said to them, \u201cThus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, 47*\u00a0 and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in his name to all nations, * beginning from Jerusalem. 48 You are witnesses of these things. 49*\u00a0 And behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you; but stay in the city, until you are clothed with power from on high.\u201d<\/p>\n
50 Then he led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands he blessed them. 51*\u00a0 While he blessed them, he parted from them, and was carried up into heaven. * 52*\u00a0 And they worshipped him, and * returned to Jerusalem with great joy, 53 and were continually in the temple blessing God. \u2013 The Gospel According to St. Luke<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
