Lukas 24
24
1But on Yom HaRishon, the first day of the shavua (week), very early in the boker, they went to the kever (tomb) bringing what spices they prepared. 2But they found the even (stone) having been rolled away from the kever (tomb), 3and, having entered, they did not find geviyyato#24:3 Dt 21:23; Gn 47:18 (his body) of the Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu.#24:3 Ps 16:9-10; Job 19:25-27; Isa 26:19; 53:11 4It came about while they were perplexed about this, indeed, hinei, shnayim (two), who were garmented in dazzling robes, stood by them. 5And having become terrified, the nashim bowed their faces to the ground. They said to the nashim, Why are you seeking HaChai (the One living) among HaMesim? 6He is not here, he kam (stood up) litechiyyah (to come to life again). Have zikaron (recollection) how he spoke to you while he was still in the Galil, 7Saying, It is necessary for the Bar Enosh#24:7 Moshiach, Dan 7:13-14 to be delivered over into the hands of anashim chote'im and to be talui al HaEtz#24:7 Dt 21:23 (to be hanged on the Tree), and on HaYom HaShlishi to stand up alive again. 8And they remembered the words of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach. 9And having returned from the kever (tomb), they reported all these things to the Achad Asar (the Eleven) and to all the others. 10Now there were Miryam of Magdala and Yochanah and Miryam the Em (mother) of Ya'akov, and the others with them. They were telling the Moshiachʼs Shlichim these things, 11And these words of theirs appeared to the Moshiachʼs Shlichim as utter narrishkait, and the Shlichim had no emunah in what they said. 12Kefa got up and ran to the kever (tomb). And when he bent over, Kefa sees the tachrichim linen clothes only, and he departed wondering to himself with tzorich iyun (unresolved puzzlement) about the thing that had happened.
13And, hinei, shnayim (two) of them that same day were traveling to a shtetl being distant sixty stadia from Yerushalayim, a shtetl the name of which is Ammaus. 14And they were speaking to one another concerning all these things that had happened. 15And it came about while they were talking and discussing these things that also Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach himself had come near and was traveling along with them, 16But the eynayim (eyes) of them were prevented from recognizing Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach. 17And he said to them, What devarim (words) are these which you are exchanging with one another as you are walking along? And they stood with a look of agmat nefesh (tzubrochen, broken-hearted). 18And in reply one, Cleopas by name, said to him, Are you the only one visiting Yerushalayim that does not have daas of the things that have happened in it in these days? 19And he said to them, What things? And they said to him, The things about Yehoshua from Natzeret, who was a man, a navi, powerful in ma'aseh and dvar before Hashem and all HaAm, 20And how both our Kohanim HaGedolim and minhagim delivered him over to a mishpat mavet and how on HaEtz they hanged him.#24:20 Dt 21:23 21But we were holding the tikvah that he is the one to bring the Geulah of Yisroel. Ken, and besides all this, it is now HaYom HaShlishi vibahlt (since) these things took place. 22Also some nashim (women) in our number astounded us. They came to the kever (tomb, Rebbeʼs ohel) early this morning, 23And not having found geviyyato (his body),#24:23 cf. Gn 47:18; nevelah, corpse Dt 21:23 the nashim (women) came saying also to have seen a chazon (vision, appearance) of malachim (angels) who say he lives. 24And some of the ones with us departed to the kever (tomb), and they found it so, just as also the nashim (women) said, but him they did not see. 25And Moshiach said to them, O foolish ones and slow in lev (heart) to have emunah in all which the Neviim spoke. 26Was it not necessary for the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach to suffer these things and to enter into his kavod (glory)? 27And having begun from Moshe Rabbenu and from all the Neviim, he explained to them in all the Kitvei Hakodesh the things concerning himself.#24:27 Gn 3:15; Num 21:9; Dt 18:15; Isa 7:14; 9:6; 40:10,11; 53; Ezek 34:23; Dan 9:24; Ps 22; Mal 3:1
28And they drew near to the shtetl where they were traveling and he acted as though to travel vaiter (farther). 29And they strongly urged him saying, Stay with us, because it is towards erev and the yom has declined already. And he entered to stay with them. 30And it came about, while he was reclining at tish with them, having taken the matzot, he made the hamotzi, and, with the betziat halechem (the breaking of the bread) he handed it to them. 31And the eynayim of them were opened, and they had daas, recognizing him. And just then he became invisible to them. 32And they said to one another, Were not our levavot burning within us as he was speaking to us on the derech, as he was opening to us the Kitvei Hakodesh? 33And getting up that very hour, they returned to Yerushalayim, and they found the Achad Asar (Eleven) gathered together and those with them, 34Saying that beemes (really) Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu was mamash (definitely) made to stand up alive and he tahke (actually) appeared to Shim'on. 35And they were explaining the things on the derech and how he was made known to them in the hisgalus of the betziat halechem.
36And while they were speaking these things, he stood in the midst of them, and he says to them, Shalom Aleichem. 37But having been startled and having been terrified, they were thinking they saw a ruach (spirit). 38And he said to them, Why have you been troubled, and why do doubts arise in your levavot? 39You see my hands and my feet that I am myself. Touch me and see, because a ruach does not have basar and atzamot (bones) as you see me having. 40And having said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.#24:40 Ps 22:16 [17]; TARGUM HASHIVIM 41And while in their simcha they were still disbelieving and astonished, he said to them, Have you some okhel here? 42And they gave him part of a broiled dag (fish). 43And having taken it, in front of them, he ate it.
44And he said to them, These are my devarim which I spoke to you while still being with you, that it is necessary that all the things having been written in the Torah of Moshe and the Neviim and the Tehillim about me#24:44 Moshiach to be fulfilled.#24:44 Ps 2; 16; 22; 69; 72; 89; 110; 118 45Then he opened their minds to have binah (understanding) of the Kitvei Hakodesh. 46And he said to them, Thus it has been written, that the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach must suffer his histalkus (passing) and come back to life again from HaMesim on HaYom HaShlishi, 47And teshuva for the selicha (forgiveness) of chattaim (sins) is to be preached b'Shem of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua to all the Nations, beginning from Yerushalayim. 48You are to be edim (witnesses) of these things. 49And, hinei, I send the havtachah of Avi to you; but you sit in HaIr (the City) until you may be clothed with oz (power) from on High.
50And he led them outside as far as Beit-Anyah, and having lifted up his hands, he said a bracha over them. 51And while he said the bracha over them, he departed from them, being taken up in an aliyah ascent to Shomayim. 52And they, having reverenced him in worship,#24:52 Dan 7:14; cf. Dan 3:18 returned to Yerushalayim with simcha gedolah. 53And they were continually in the Beis Hamikdash praising Hashem.
