1BUT at the first signs of dawn on the first day of the week, they went to the tomb, taking with them the aromatic spices they had prepared.
2They discovered that the stone had been rolled away from the tomb,
3but on going inside, the body of the Lord Jesus was not to be found.
4While they were still puzzling over this, two men suddenly stood at their elbow, dressed in dazzling light.
5The women were terribly frightened, and turned their eyes away and looked at the ground. But the two men spoke to them, "Why do you look for the living among the dead?
6He is not here: he has been raised! Remember what he said to you, while he was still in Galilee
7that the Son of Man must be betrayed into the hands of sinful men, and must be crucified, and must rise again on the third day."
8Then they did remember what he had said,
9and they turned their backs on the tomb and went and told all this to the eleven and the others who were with them.
10It was Mary of Magdala, Joanna, Mary, the mother of James, and their companions who made this report to the apostles.
11But it struck them as sheer imagination, and they did not believe the women.
12Only Peter got up and ran to the tomb. He stooped down and saw nothing but the linen clothes lying there, and he went home wondering at what had happened.
13Then on the same day we find two of them going off to Emmaus, a village about seven miles from Jerusalem.
14As they went they were deep in conversation about everything that had happened.
15While they were absorbed in their serious talk and discussions Jesus himself approached and walked along with them,
16but something prevented them from recognising him.
17Then he spoke to them, "What is all this discussion that you are having on your walk?"
18They stopped, their faces drawn with misery, and the one called Cleopas replied, "You must be the only visitor to Jerusalem who hasn't heard all the things that have happened there recently!"
19"What things?" asked Jesus. "Oh, all about Jesus, from Nazareth, There was a mana prophet strong in what he did and what he said, in God's eyes as well as the people's.
20Haven't you heard how our chief priests and rulers handed him over for execution, and had him crucified?
21But we were hoping he was the one who was to come and set Israel free...."Yes, and as if that were not enough, it's three days since all this happened;
22and some of our womenfolk have disturbed us profoundly. For they went to the tomb at dawn,
23and then when they couldn't find his body they said that they had had a vision of angels who said that he was alive.
24Some of our people went straight off to the tomb and found things just as the women had described thembut they didn't see [him]!"
25Then he himself spoke to them, "Oh, how foolish you are, how slow to believe in all that the prophets have said!
26Was it not inevitable that Christ should suffer like that and so find his glory?"
27Then, beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he explained to them everything in the scriptures that referred to himself.
28They were by now approaching the village to which they were going. He gave the impression that he meant to go on further,
29but they stopped him with the words, "Do stay with us. It is nearly evening and the day will soon be over." So he went indoors to stay with them.
30Then it happened! While he was sitting at table with them he took the loaf, gave thanks, broke it and passed it to them.
31Their eyes opened wide and they knew him! But he vanished from their sight.
32Then they said to each other, "Weren't our hearts glowing while he was with us on the road when he made the scriptures plain to us?"
33And they got to their feet without delay and turned back to Jerusalem. There they found the eleven and their friends all together,
34full of the news"The Lord is really risenhe has appeared to Simon now!"
35Then they told the story of their walk, and how they recognised him when he broke the loaf.
36And while they were still talking about these things, Jesus himself stood among them and said, "Peace be with you all!"
37But they shrank back in terror for they thought they were seeing a ghost.
38"Why are you so worried?" said Jesus, "and why do doubts arise in your minds?
39Look at my hands and my feetit is really I myself! Feel me and see; ghosts have no flesh or bones as you can see that I have."
41But while they still could not believe it through sheer joy and were quite bewildered, Jesus said to them, "Have you anything here to eat?"
42They gave him a piece of broiled fish,
43which he took and ate, before their eyes.
44Then he said, "Here and now are fulfilled the words that I told you when I was with you: that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and in the prophets and psalms must come true."
45Then he opened their minds so that they could understand the scriptures,
46and added, "That is how it was written, and that is why it was inevitable that Christ should suffer, and rise from the dead on the third day.
47So must the change of heart which leads to the forgiveness of sins be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48"You are eyewitnesses of these things.
49Now I hand over to you the promise of my Father. Stay in the city, then, until you are clothed with power from on high."
50Then he led them outside as far as Bethany, where he blessed them with uplifted hands.
51While he was in the act of blessing them he was parted from them and was carried up to Heaven.
52They worshipped him, and turned back to Jerusalem with great joy,
53and spent their days in the Temple, praising God.
