1But on the first day of the week , at early dawn , they came unto the tomb , bringing the spices which they had prepared . 2And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb . 3And they entered in , and found not the body of the Lord Jesus . 4And it came to pass , while they were perplexed thereabout , behold , two men stood by them in dazzling apparel : 5and as they were affrighted and bowed down their faces to the earth , they said unto them , Why seek ye the living among the dead ? 6He is not here , but is risen : remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee , 7saying that the Son of man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men , and be crucified , and the third day rise again . 8And they remembered his words , 9and returned from the tomb , and told all these things to the eleven , and to all the rest . 10Now they were Mary Magdalene , and Joanna , and Mary the mother of James : and the other women with them told these things unto the apostles. 11And these words appeared in their sight as idle talk; and they disbelieved them . 12But Peter arose , and ran unto the tomb ; and stooping and looking in , he seeth the linen cloths by themselves ; and he departed to his home , wondering at that which was come to pass .
The Road to Emmaus
13And behold , two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus , which was threescore furlongs from Jerusalem . 14And they communed with each other of all these things which had happened . 15And it came to pass , while they communed and questioned together , that Jesus himself drew near , and went with them . 16But their eyes were holden that they should not know him . 17And he said unto them , What communications are these that ye have one with another , as ye walk ? And they stood still , looking sad . 18And one of them , named Cleopas , answering said unto him , Dost thou alone sojourn in Jerusalem and not know the things which are come to pass there in these days ? 19And he said unto them , What things ? And they said unto him , The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene , who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people : 20and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death , and crucified him . 21But we hoped that it was he who should redeem Israel . Yea and besides all this , it is now the third day since these things came to pass . 22Moreover certain women of our company amazed us , having been early at the tomb ; 23and when they found not his body , they came , saying , that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive . 24And certain of them that were with us went to the tomb , and found it even so as the women had said : but him they saw not . 25And he said unto them , O foolish men , and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken ! 26Behooved it not the Christ to suffer these things , and to enter into his glory ? 27And beginning from Moses and from all the prophets , he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself . 28And they drew nigh unto the village , whither they were going : and he made as though he would go further . 29And they constrained him , saying , Abide with us ; for it is toward evening , and the day is now far spent . And he went in to abide with them . 30And it came to pass , when he had sat down with them to meat , he took the bread and blessed ; and breaking it he gave to them . 31And their eyes were opened , and they knew him ; and he vanished out of their sight . 32And they said one to another , Was not our heart burning within us , while he spake to us in the way , while he opened to us the scriptures ? 33And they rose up that very hour , and returned to Jerusalem , and found the eleven gathered together , and them that were with them , 34saying , The Lord is risen indeed , and hath appeared to Simon . 35And they rehearsed the things that happened in the way , and how he was known of them in the breaking of the bread.
Jesus Appears to His Disciples
36And as they spake these things , he himself stood in the midst of them , and saith unto them , Peace be unto you . 37But they were terrified and affrighted , and supposed that they beheld a spirit . 38And he said unto them , Why are ye troubled ? and wherefore do questionings arise in your heart ? 39See my hands and my feet , that it is I myself : handle me , and see ; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones , as ye behold me having . 40And when he had said this , he showed them his hands and his feet . 41And while they still disbelieved for joy , and wondered , he said unto them , Have ye here anything to eat ? 42And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish . 43And he took it , and ate before them . 44And he said unto them , These are my words which I spake unto you , while I was yet with you , that all things must needs be fulfilled , which are written in the law of Moses , and the prophets , and the psalms , concerning me . 45Then opened he their mind , that they might understand the scriptures ; 46and he said unto them , Thus it is written , that the Christ should suffer , and rise again from the dead the third day ; 47and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name unto all the nations , beginning from Jerusalem . 48Ye are witnesses of these things . 49And behold , I send forth the promise of my Father upon you : but tarry ye in the city , until ye be clothed with power from on high .
The Great Commission
50And he led them out until they were over against Bethany: and he lifted up his hands , and blessed them . 51And it came to pass , while he blessed them , he parted from them , and was carried up into heaven . 52And they worshipped him , and returned to Jerusalem with great joy : 53and were continually in the temple , blessing God .
