Luke Chapter 24

King James Version

   1: 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.
   2: And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
   3: And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
   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 afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?
   6: He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,
   7: Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
   8: And they remembered his words,
   9: And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.
   10: 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.
   11: And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.

   14: And they talked together of all these things which had happened.
   15: And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.

   18: 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 therein these days?
   19: 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:
   20: And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.
   21: 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.
   22: Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;
   23: 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.
   24: 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.
   25: Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
   26: Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?

   32: 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?
   33: And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,
   34: Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
   35: And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.
   36: And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
   37: But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
   38: And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
   39: 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.

   47: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
   48: And ye are witnesses of these things.
   49: 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.
