The Resurrection |
|
|
 |
Luke 24:1
|
|
But on the first day of the week, at early dawn,
they came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared. |
|
|
|
Luke 24:2
|
|
And they found the stone rolled away from the
tomb, |
|
|
|
Luke 24:3
|
|
but when they entered, they did not find the
body of the Lord Jesus. |
|
|
|
Luke 24:4
|
|
While they were perplexed about this, behold,
two men suddenly stood near them in dazzling clothing; |
|
|
|
Luke 24:5
|
|
and as the women were terrified and bowed their
faces to the ground, the men said to them, "Why do you seek the living One among
the dead? |
|
|
|
Luke 24:6
|
|
He is not here, but He has risen. Remember how
He spoke to you while He was still in Galilee, |
|
|
|
Luke 24:7
|
|
saying that the Son of Man must be delivered
into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again." |
|
|
|
Luke 24:8
|
|
And they remembered His words, |
|
|
|
Luke 24:9
|
|
and returned from the tomb and reported all
these things to the eleven and to all the rest. |
|
|
|
Luke 24:10
|
|
Now they were Mary Magdalene and Joanna and
Mary the mother of James; also the other women with them were telling these things
to the apostles. |
|
|
|
Luke 24:11
|
|
But these words appeared to them as nonsense,
and they would not believe them. |
|
|
|
Luke 24:12
|
|
But Peter got up and ran to the tomb; stooping
and looking in, he *saw
the linen wrappings only; and he went away to his home, marveling at what had
happened. |
|
|
|
|
|
The Road to Emmaus |
|
|
|
Luke 24:13
|
|
And behold, two of them were going that very
day to a village named Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem. |
|
|
|
Luke 24:14
|
|
And they were talking with each other about
all these things which had taken place. |
|
|
|
Luke 24:15
|
|
While they were talking and discussing, Jesus
Himself approached and began traveling with them. |
|
|
|
Luke 24:16
|
|
But their eyes were prevented from recognizing
Him. |
|
|
|
Luke 24:17
|
|
And He said to them, "What
are these words that you are exchanging with one another as you are walking?"
And they stood still, looking sad. |
|
|
|
Luke 24:18
|
|
One of them, named Cleopas, answered and said
to Him, "Are You the only one visiting Jerusalem and unaware of the things which
have happened here in these days?" |
|
|
|
Luke 24:19
|
|
And He said to them, "What
things?" And they said to Him, "The things about Jesus the Nazarene, who
was a prophet mighty in deed and word in the sight of God and all the people, |
|
|
|
Luke 24:20
|
|
and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered
Him to the sentence of death, and crucified Him. |
|
|
|
Luke 24:21
|
|
But we were hoping that it was He who was going
to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, it is the third day since these things
happened. |
|
|
|
Luke 24:22
|
|
But also some women among us amazed us. When
they were at the tomb early in the morning, |
|
|
|
Luke 24:23
|
|
and did not find His body, they came, saying
that they had also seen a vision of angels who said that He was alive. |
|
|
|
Luke 24:24
|
|
Some of those who were with us went to the tomb
and found it just exactly as the women also had said; but Him they did not see." |
|
|
|
Luke 24:25
|
|
And He said to them, "O
foolish men and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! |
|
|
|
Luke 24:26
|
|
Was it not necessary for
the Christ to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?" |
|
|
|
Luke 24:27
|
|
Then beginning with Moses and with all the prophets,
He explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures. |
|
|
|
Luke 24:28
|
|
And they approached the village where they
were going, and He acted as though He were going farther. |
|
|
|
Luke 24:29
|
|
But they urged Him, saying, "Stay with us, for
it is getting toward evening, and the day is now nearly over." So He went in to
stay with them. |
|
|
|
Luke 24:30
|
|
When He had reclined at the table with them,
He took the bread and blessed it, and breaking it, He began giving it to them. |
|
|
|
Luke 24:31
|
|
Then their eyes were opened and they recognized
Him; and He vanished from their sight. |
|
|
|
Luke 24:32
|
|
They said to one another, "Were not our hearts
burning within us while He was speaking to us on the road, while He was explaining
the Scriptures to us?" |
|
|
|
Luke 24:33
|
|
And they got up that very hour and returned
to Jerusalem, and found gathered together the eleven and those who were with them, |
|
|
|
Luke 24:34
|
|
saying, "The Lord has really risen and has appeared
to Simon." |
|
|
|
Luke 24:35
|
|
They began to relate their experiences on the
road and how He was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread. |
|
|
|
|
|
Other Appearances |
|
|
|
Luke 24:36
|
|
While they were telling these things, He Himself
stood in their midst and *said
to them, "Peace be to you." |
|
|
|
Luke 24:37
|
|
But they were startled and frightened and thought
that they were seeing a spirit. |
|
|
|
Luke 24:38
|
|
And He said to them, "Why
are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? |
|
|
|
Luke 24:39
|
|
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." |
|
|
|
Luke 24:40
|
|
And when He had said this, He showed them His
hands and His feet. |
|
|
|
Luke 24:41
|
|
While they still could not believe it because
of their joy and amazement, He said to them, "Have you anything
here to eat?" |
|
|
|
Luke 24:42
|
|
They gave Him a piece of a broiled fish; |
|
|
|
Luke 24:43
|
|
and He took it and ate it before them. |
|
|
|
Luke 24:44
|
|
Now He said to them, "These
are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things
which are written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms
must be fulfilled." |
|
|
|
Luke 24:45
|
|
Then He opened their minds to understand the
Scriptures, |
|
|
|
Luke 24:46
|
|
and He said to them, "Thus
it is written, that the Christ would suffer and rise again from the dead the third
day, |
|
|
|
Luke 24:47
|
|
and that repentance for
forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in His name to all the nations, beginning
from Jerusalem. |
|
|
|
Luke 24:48
|
|
You are witnesses of
these things. |
|
|
|
Luke 24:49
|
|
And behold, I am sending
forth the promise of My Father upon you; but you are to stay in the city until
you are clothed with power from on high." |
|
|
|
|
|
The Ascension |
|
|
|
Luke 24:50
|
|
And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He
lifted up His hands and blessed them. |
|
|
|
Luke 24:51
|
|
While He was blessing them, He parted from
them and was carried up into heaven. |
|
|
|
Luke 24:52
|
|
And they, after worshiping Him, returned to
Jerusalem with great joy, |
|
|
|
Luke 24:53
|
|
and were continually in the temple praising
God. |
