[24:1]And on the first day of the week, early in the morning, they
came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared. [24:2]And
they found the stone rolled away from the tomb; [24:3]and entering,
found not the body. [24:4] And while they were in doubt about this,
behold, two men stood by them in shining clothing. [24:5]And [the
women] being afraid, and bowing their faces to the earth, they said to
them, Why do you seek the living with the dead? [24:6] He is not here,
but is raised. Remember how he told you while he was yet in Galilee,
[24:7]saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of wicked
men to be crucified, and on the third day rise again. [24:8]And they
remembered his words; [24:9]and returning from the tomb related all
these things to the eleven, and to all the rest. [24:10]And they were
the Magdalene Mary, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and the
others with them, who told these things to the apostles. [24:11]And
their words appeared to them like idle talk; and they believed them not.
3 [24:13]And behold, two of them went the same day to a village about
sixty stadiums [7 miles] from Jerusalem, called Emmaus; [24:14]and they
conversed together of all these things which had happened. [24:15]And
as they conversed and reasoned together, Jesus also himself approaching
walked with them; [24:16] but their eyes were restrained that they did
not know him. [24:17]And he said to them, What reports are these which
you relate one to the other as you walk and are sad? [24:18]And one of
them answered, whose name was Cleopas, and said to him, Do you live
alone at Jerusalem and not know the things which have occurred in it in
these days? [24:19]And he said to them, What things? And they said to
him, The things relating to Jesus the Nazoraean, who was a prophet,
mighty in work and word before God and all the people; [24:20]and how
our chief priests and rulers delivered him up to the sentence of death,
and crucified him, [24:21]But we hoped that he was the one who was to
redeem Israel. But indeed, also, in addition to all these things, today
is the third day since these things occurred; [24:22]but some of our
women also astonished us, who being early at the tomb [24:23]and not
finding his body, came, saying that they had seen a vision of angels,
who said that he was alive. [24:24]And some of those with us went to
the tomb, and found even as the women had said; and him they saw not.
