The Resurrection

1hBut on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, itaking the spices they had prepared. 2And they found jthe stone rolled away from the tomb, 3but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4While they were perplexed about this, behold, ktwo lmen stood by them in dazzling apparel. 5And as they were mfrightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? 6He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, nwhile he was still in Galilee, 7nthat the Son of Man omust be delivered into the hands of sinful men and pbe crucified and on qthe third day rise.” 8And rthey remembered his words, 9and returning from the tomb they stold all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. 10Now it was tMary Magdalene and uJoanna and Mary the mother of James and the other women with them who told these things to the apostles, 11but these words seemed to them an idle tale, and vthey did not believe them. 12But wPeter rose and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw xthe linen cloths by themselves; and he went home marveling at what had happened.

On the Road to Emmaus

13That very day ytwo of them were going to a village named Emmaus, about seven miles1 from Jerusalem, 14and they were talking with each other about all these things that had happened. 15While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus himself drew near and went with them. 16zBut their eyes were kept from recognizing him. 17And he said to them, “What is this conversation that you are holding with each other as you walk?” And they stood still, looking sad. 18Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?” 19And he said to them, “What things?” And they said to him, “Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, a man who was aa prophet bmighty in deed and word before God and all the people, 20and chow our chief priests and drulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him. 21But we had hoped that he was ethe one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now fthe third day since these things happened. 22Moreover, some women of our company amazed us. gThey were at the tomb early in the morning, 23and hwhen they did not find his body, they came back saying that ithey had even seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive. 24jSome 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.” 25And he said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! 26kWas it not necessary that lthe Christ should suffer these things and enter into mhis glory?” 27And nbeginning with oMoses and pall the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.

28So they drew near to the village to which they were going. qHe acted as if he were going farther, 29but they urged him strongly, saying, “Stay with us, for it is toward evening and rthe day is now far spent.” So he went in to stay with them. 30When he was at table with them, he took the bread and sblessed and broke it and gave it to them. 31tAnd their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And uhe vanished from their sight. 32They said to each other, v“Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he wopened to us the Scriptures?” 33And they rose that same hour and returned to Jerusalem. And they xfound the eleven and ythose who were with them gathered together, 34saying, “The Lord has risen indeed, and zhas appeared to Simon!” 35Then they told what had happened on the road, and ahow he was known to them in bthe breaking of the bread.

Jesus Appears to His Disciples

36As they were talking about these things, cJesus himself stood among them, and said to them, “Peace to you!” 37But they were dstartled and efrightened and fthought they saw a spirit. 38And he said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? 39See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. gTouch me, and see. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.” 40And when he had said this, hhe showed them his hands and his feet. 41And while they still disbelieved ifor joy and were marveling, jhe said to them, “Have you anything here to eat?” 42They gave him a piece of broiled fish,2 43and he took it and ate before them.

44Then he said to them, k“These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, lthat everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” 45Then mhe opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, 46and said to them, “Thus nit is written, othat the Christ should suffer and on the third day prise from the dead, 47and that qrepentance for3 the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed rin his name sto all nations, tbeginning from Jerusalem. 48uYou are witnesses of these things. 49And behold, I am sending vthe promise of my Father upon you. But stay in the city until you ware clothed with xpower yfrom on high.”

The Ascension

50And zhe led them out as far as aBethany, and lifting up his hands he blessed them. 51While he blessed them, bhe parted from them and was carried up into heaven. 52And they cworshiped him and zreturned to Jerusalem dwith great joy, 53and ewere continually in the temple fblessing God.
