Dual Panel1Now <1161> on the first <1520> day of <4521> the week <4521>, at early dawn <3722> <901>, the women went <2064> to <1909> the tomb <3418>, taking <5342> the aromatic spices <759> they had prepared <2090>.
2They found <2147> that the stone <3037> had been rolled away <617> from <575> the tomb <3419>,
3but <1161> when <1525> they went <1525> in, they did <2147> not <3756> find <2147> the body <4983> of the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>.
4While they <846> were perplexed <639> about <4012> this <5127>, suddenly <2400> two <1417> men <435> stood beside <2186> them <846> in <1722> dazzling <797> attire <2066>.
5The women <846> were <1096> terribly frightened <1719> and <2532> bowed <2827> their faces <4383> to <1519> the ground <1093>, but the men said <3004> to <4314> them <846>, “Why <5101> do you look for <2212> the living <2198> among <3326> the dead <3498>?
6He is <1510> not <3756> here <5602>, but <235> has been raised <1453>! Remember <3415> how <5613> he told <2980> you <5213>, while <1510> he was <1510> still in <1722> Galilee <1056>,
7that the Son <5207> of Man <444> must <1163> be delivered <3860> into <1519> the hands <5495> of sinful <268> men <444>, and <2532> be crucified <4717>, and <2532> on the third <5154> day <2250> rise <450> again.”
8Then <2532> the women remembered <3415> his <846> words <4487>,
9and <2532> when <5290> they returned <5290> from <575> the tomb <3419> they told <518> all <3956> these things <5023> to the eleven <1733> and <2532> to all <3956> the rest <3062>.
10Now <1161> it was <1510> Mary <3137> Magdalene <3094>, Joanna <2489>, Mary <3137> the mother of James <2385>, and <2532> the other women <3062> with <4862> them <846> who told <3004> these things <5023> to <4314> the apostles <652>.
11But <2532> these <3778> words <4487> seemed <5316> like <5616> pure nonsense <3026> to <1799> them <846>, and <2532> they did not believe <569> them <846>.
12But <1161> Peter <4074> got up <450> and ran <5143> to <1909> the tomb <3419>. He bent down <3879> and saw <991> only <3441> the strips of linen cloth <3608>; then <2532> he went home <565>, wondering <2296> what had happened <1096>.
13Now that <846> very day <2250> two <1417> of <1537> them <846> were <1510> on their way <4198> to <1519> a village <2968> called <3686> Emmaus <1695>, about seven miles <4712> from <575> Jerusalem <2419>.
14They <846> were talking <3656> to <4314> each other <240> about <4012> all <3956> the things <5130> that had happened <4819>.
15While they were talking <3656> and <2532> debating <4802> these things, Jesus <2424> himself <846> approached <1448> and began to accompany <4848> them <846>
16(but <1161> their <846> eyes <3788> were kept <2902> from <3361> recognizing <1921> him <846>).
17Then <1161> he said <2036> to <4314> them <846>, “What <5101> are these <3778> matters <3056> you are discussing <474> so intently as you walk along <4043>?” And <2532> they stood still <2476>, looking sad <4659>.
18Then one <1520> of them, named <3686> Cleopas <2810>, answered <611> <2036> him <846>, “Are <3939> you <4771> the only <3441> visitor <3939> to Jerusalem <2419> who doesn’t <3756> know <1097> the things that have happened <1096> there <1722> <846> in <1722> these <3778> days <2250>?”
19He <2532> said <2036> to them <846>, “What <4169> things?” “The things concerning <4012> Jesus <2424> the Nazarene <3479>,” they replied <3004>, “a man <435> who, with his powerful <1415> deeds <2041> and <2532> words <3056>, proved to be <1096> a prophet <4396> before <1726> God <2316> and <2532> all <3956> the people <2992>;
20and <5037> how <3704> our <2257> chief priests <749> and <2532> rulers <758> handed <3860> him <846> over <3860> to be <1519> condemned <2917> to death <2288>, and <2532> crucified <4717> him <846>.
21But <1161> we <2249> had hoped <1679> that <3754> he <846> was <1510> the one who was going <3195> to redeem <3084> Israel <2474>. Not only this, but it is now the third <5154> day <2250> since <575> these things <5023> happened <1096>.
22Furthermore, some <5100> women <1135> of our <2257> group amazed <1839> us <2248>. They were <1096> at <1909> the tomb <3419> early <3720> this morning <3720>,
23and <2532> when <2147> they did <2147> not <3361> find <2147> his <846> body <4983>, they came back <2064> and <2532> said <3004> they had seen <3708> a vision <3701> of angels <32>, who <3739> said <3004> he <846> was alive <2198>.
24Then <2532> some <5100> of those who were with <4862> us <2254> went <565> to <1909> the tomb <3419>, and <2532> found <2147> it just as <2531> the women <1135> had said <2036>, but <1161> they did <1492> not <3756> see <1492> him <846>.”
25So <2532> he <846> said <2036> to <4314> them <846>, “You foolish people <453>– how slow <1021> of heart <2588> to believe <4100> all <3956> that <3739> the prophets <4396> have spoken <2980>!
26Wasn’t <3780> it necessary <1163> for the Christ <5547> to suffer <3958> these things <5023> and <2532> enter <1525> into <1519> his <846> glory <1391>?”
27Then <2532> beginning <756> with <575> Moses <3475> and <2532> all <3956> the prophets <4396>, he interpreted <1329> to them <846> the things written about <4012> himself <1438> in <1722> all <3956> the scriptures <1124>.
28So <2532> they approached <1448> the village <2968> where <3757> they were going <4198>. He acted as though <4364> he wanted to go <4198> farther <4208>,
29but <2532> they urged <3849> him <846>, “Stay <3306> with <3326> us <2257>, because <3754> it is <1510> getting toward <4314> evening <2073> and <2532> the day <2250> is almost done <2827> <2235>.” So <2532> he went in <1525> to stay <3306> with <4862> them <846>.
30When <2532> he had taken <2625> his <846> place at the table <2625> with <3326> them <846>, he took <2983> the bread <740>, blessed <2127> and <2532> broke <2806> it, and gave <1929> it to them <846>.
31At this point <1161> their <846> eyes <3788> were opened <1272> and <2532> they recognized <1921> him <846>. Then <2532> he <846> vanished <855> <1096> out of <575> their sight <846>.
32They said <3004> to <4314> each other <240>, “Didn’t <3780> our <2257> hearts <2588> burn <2545> within us <1510> while <5613> he was speaking <2980> with us <2254> on <1722> the road <3598>, while <5613> he was explaining <1272> the scriptures <1124> to us <2254>?”
33So <2532> they got up <450> that very hour <846> <5610> and returned <5290> to <1519> Jerusalem <2419>. They found <2147> the eleven <1733> and <2532> those with <4862> them <846> gathered together <4867>
34and saying <3004>, “The Lord <2962> has really <3689> risen <1453>, and <2532> has appeared <3700> to Simon <4613>!”
35Then <2532> they <846> told <1834> what had happened on <1722> the road <3598>, and <2532> how <5613> they recognized <1097> him <846> when he broke <2800> the bread <740>.
36While <2980> they <846> were saying <2980> these things <5023>, Jesus himself <846> stood <2476> among <1722> <3319> them <846> and <2532> said <3004> to them <846>, “Peace <1515> be with you <5213>.”
37But <1161> they were startled <4422> and <2532> terrified <1719>, thinking <1380> they saw <2334> a ghost <4151>.
38Then <2532> he said <2036> to them <846>, “Why <5101> are you <1510> frightened <5015>, and <2532> why <5101> do <305> doubts <1261> arise <305> in <1722> your <5216> hearts <2588>?
39Look at <1492> my <3450> hands <5495> and <2532> my <3450> feet <4228>; it’s <846> me <1473> <1510>! Touch <5584> me <3165> and <2532> see <1492>; a ghost <4151> does <2192> not <3756> have <2192> flesh <4561> and <2532> bones <3747> like <2531> you see <2334> I <1691> have <2192>.”
40When <2036> he had said <2036> this <5124>, he showed <1166> them <846> his hands <5495> and <2532> his feet <4228>.
41And <1161> while they <846> still <2089> could not believe <569> it (because of <575> their joy <5479>) and <2532> were amazed <2296>, he said <2036> to them <846>, “Do you have <2192> anything <5100> here <1759> to eat <1034>?”
42So <1161> they gave <1929> him <846> a piece <3313> of broiled <3702> fish <2486>,
43and <2532> he took <2983> it and ate <5315> it in front of <1799> them <846>.
44Then <1161> he said <2036> to <4314> them <846>, “These <3778> are my <3450> words <3056> that <3739> I spoke <2980> to <4314> you <5209> while <1510> I was <1510> still <2089> with <4862> you <5213>, that <3754> everything <3956> written <1125> about <4012> me <1700> in <1722> the law <3551> of Moses <3475> and <2532> the prophets <4396> and <2532> the psalms <5568> must <1163> be fulfilled <4137>.”
45Then <5119> he opened <1272> their <846> minds <3563> so they could understand <4920> the scriptures <1124>,
46and <2532> said <2036> to them <846>, “Thus <3779> it stands written <1125> that the Christ <5547> would suffer <3958> and <2532> would rise <450> from <1537> the dead <3498> on the third <5154> day <2250>,
47and <2532> repentance <3341> for <1519> the forgiveness <859> of sins <266> would be proclaimed <2784> in <1909> his <846> name <3686> to <1519> all <3956> nations <1484>, beginning <757> from <575> Jerusalem <2419>.
48You <5210> are witnesses <3144> of these things <5130>.
49And <2532> look <2400>, I <1473> am sending <1821> you <5209> what my <3450> Father <3962> promised <1860>. But <1161> stay <2523> in <1722> the city <4172> until <2193> you have been clothed <1746> with power <1411> from <1537> on high <5311>.”
50Then <1161> Jesus led <1806> them <846> out <1806> as far as <2193> <4314> Bethany <963>, and <2532> lifting up <1869> his <846> hands <5495>, he blessed <2127> them <846>.
51Now during the blessing <2127> he departed <1339> and <2532> was taken up <399> into <1519> heaven <3772>.
52So <2532> they <846> worshiped <4352> him <846> and returned <5290> to <1519> Jerusalem <2419> with <3326> great <3173> joy <5479>,
53and <2532> were <1510> continually <1223> <3956> in <1722> the temple courts <2411> blessing <2127> God <2316>.
