Luke 24
24
Jesus Rises From the Dead
1Very early in the morning on the first day of the week, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. 2They found the stone rolled away from it. 3When they entered the tomb, they didn’t find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4As they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes as bright as lightning stood beside them. 5The women were terrified and bowed down with their faces to the ground. But the men said to them, “Why are you looking for the living among the dead? 6Jesus isn’t here! He has risen! Remember how he told you while he was still with you in Galilee that he would rise? 7He said, ‘The Son of Man must be handed over to sinful people and be nailed to a cross, but on the third day he will rise from the dead.’ ” 8Then the women remembered Jesus’ words.
9They came back from the tomb and told all these things to the 11 apostles and all the others. 10Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them were the ones who told this to the apostles. 11But the apostles didn’t believe the women, because their words didn’t make any sense to them. 12But Peter got up and ran to the tomb. He bent over and saw the strips of linen lying by themselves. Then he went away, wondering what had happened.
On the Road to Emmaus
13That same day, two of Jesus’ followers were going to a village called Emmaus. It was about seven miles from Jerusalem. 14They were talking with each other about everything that had happened. 15As they talked about those things, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them. 16But they were kept from recognizing him.
17Jesus asked them, “What are you talking about as you walk along?”
They stood still and their faces were sad. 18One of them, named Cleopas, said to Jesus, “Are you the only person visiting Jerusalem who doesn’t know about the things that have happened there in the last few days?”
19“What things?” Jesus asked.
“About Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “He was a prophet who was powerful in what he said and did in the sight of God and all the people. 20The chief priests and our rulers handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they nailed him to a cross, 21though we had hoped that he was the one who was going to set Israel free. It’s now the third day since all that happened, 22and some of our women have told us an amazing story. Early this morning they went to the tomb, 23but they didn’t find his body there. They came back and told us that they’d seen a vision of angels, who told them Jesus was alive. 24So some of our friends went to the tomb, and they found that it was empty, just as the women had said. They didn’t see Jesus’ body there.”
25Jesus said to them, “How foolish you are! How long it takes you to believe all that the prophets said! 26Didn’t the Messiah have to suffer these things and then receive his glory?” 27Jesus explained to them what was said about himself in all the Scriptures, beginning with Moses and all the Prophets.
28As they approached the village where they were going, Jesus kept on walking, as if he were going farther. 29But they tried to convince him not to leave. They said, “Stay with us, because it’s nearly evening and the day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them.
30When they were together at the table, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it, and began to give it to them. 31Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight. 32They said to each other, “Weren’t our hearts burning within us as he explained to us what the Scriptures meant as he talked with us on the road?”
33They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the 11 disciples and those with them all gathered together 34and saying, “It’s true! The Lord has risen! He has appeared to Simon!” 35Then the two of them told what had happened to them on the road and how they had recognized Jesus when he broke the bread.
Jesus Appears to the Disciples
36The disciples were still talking about this when Jesus himself suddenly stood among them. He said to them, “Peace be with you!”
37They were surprised and frightened because they thought they were seeing a ghost. 38Jesus said to them, “Why are you so upset? Why do you have doubts in your minds? 39Look at my hands and my feet. It’s me! Touch me and see. A ghost doesn’t have a body or bones, but you can see that I do.”
40After he said that, he showed them his hands and feet. 41But they still couldn’t believe it because they were too delighted and amazed. So Jesus asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” 42They gave him a piece of cooked fish, 43and he took it and ate it in front of them.
44Jesus said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you. Everything that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms must come true.”
45Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. 46He told them, “This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, 47and his followers will preach in his name. They will tell others to turn away from their sins and be forgiven. People from every nation will hear about this, beginning in Jerusalem. 48You have seen these things with your own eyes. 49I am going to send you what my Father has promised, but for now, stay in the city until you have received power from heaven.”
Jesus Is Taken Up Into Heaven
50Jesus led his disciples out to the area near Bethany. Then he lifted up his hands and blessed them. 51While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up into heaven. 52Then they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy. 53Every day they were in the temple, praising God.
