Luke 24:1-32

Now on the first day of the week, at daybreak, the women came to the tomb, carrying the spices they had prepared. They found the stone had been rolled away from the tomb; but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Yeshua. And while they were perplexed about this, suddenly two men in dazzling clothes stood beside them. The women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you search for the living among the dead? He is not here, but He is risen! Remember what He told you when He was still in the Galilee, saying that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be executed, and on the third day rise up.” And they were reminded of His words. And when they returned from the tomb, they told all these things to the eleven and to everyone else. Now it was Miriam from Magdala, Joanna, the Miriam of Jacob and others together with them who were telling these things to the emissaries. But these words appeared to them as nonsense, and they would not believe them. But Peter got up and ran to the tomb. Leaning in, he sees only the linen cloths. And he went away to his home, marveling at what had happened. Now behold, two of them on that very day were traveling to a village named Emmaus, a distance of about seven miles from Jerusalem. They were speaking with one another about all the things that had been happening. While they were talking and discussing, Yeshua Himself approached and began traveling with them. But their eyes were kept from recognizing Him. Then He said to them, “What are these things you are discussing with one another as you are walking along?” They stood still, looking gloomy. Then the one named Cleopas answered and said to Him, “Are You the only one visiting Jerusalem who doesn’t know the things that happened there in these days?” Yeshua said to them, “What kind of things?” And they said to Him, “The things about Yeshua from Natzeret, who was a Prophet, powerful in deed and word before God and all the people— how the ruling kohanim and our leaders handed Him over to be sentenced to death, and they executed Him. But we were hoping that He was the One about to redeem Israel. Besides all this, today is the third day since these things happened. “But also some women among us amazed us. Early in the morning they were at the tomb. When they didn’t find His body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said He is alive! Some of those with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women said, but they did not see Him.” Yeshua said to them, “Oh foolish ones, so slow of heart to put your trust in all that the prophets spoke! Was it not necessary for Messiah to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?” Then beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them the things written about Himself in all the Scriptures. They approached the village where they were going, and He acted as though He were going farther on. But they urged Him, saying, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening and the day is already gone.” So He went in to stay with them. And it happened that when He was reclining at the table with them, He took the matzah , offered a bracha and, breaking it, gave it to them. Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Him, and He disappeared from them. They said to one another, “Didn’t our heart burn within us while He was speaking with us on the road, while He was explaining the Scriptures to us?”
