1 Now upon the first day of the week, very early in
  the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing
  the spices which they had prepared, and certain
  others with them.
   2 And they found the stone rolled away from the
  sepulchre.
   3 And they entered in, and found not the body of the
  Lord Jesus.
   4 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed
  thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining
  garments:
   5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their
  faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye
  the living among the dead?
   6 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he
  spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,
   7 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the
  hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third
  day rise again.
   8 And they remembered his words,
   9 And returned from the sepulchre, and told all
  these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.
  10 It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the
  mother of James, and other women that were with them,
  which told these things unto the apostles.
  11 And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and
  they believed them not.
  12 Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and
  stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by
  themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at
  that which was come to pass.
  13 And, behold, two of them went that same day to a
  village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about
  threescore furlongs.
  14 And they talked together of all these things which
  had happened.
  15 And it came to pass, that, while they communed
  together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and
  went with them.
  16 But their eyes were holden that they should not
  know him.
  17 And he said unto them, What manner of
  communications are these that ye have one to another,
  as ye walk, and are sad?
  18 And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas,
  answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in
  Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are
  come to pass there in these days?
  19 And he said unto them, What things? And they said
  unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a
  prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all
  the people:
  20 And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered
  him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.
  21 But we trusted that it had been he which should
  have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is
  the third day since these things were done.
  22 Yea, and certain women also of our company made us
  astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;
  23 And when they found not his body, they came,
  saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels,
  which said that he was alive.
  24 And certain of them which were with us went to the
  sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had
  said: but him they saw not.
  25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart
  to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
  26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things,
  and to enter into his glory?
  27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he
  expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things
  concerning himself.
  28 And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they
  went: and he made as though he would have gone
  further.
  29 But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us:
  for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent.
  And he went in to tarry with them.
  30 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them,
  he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to
  them.
  31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and
  he vanished out of their sight.
  32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart
  burn within us, while he talked with us by the way,
  and while he opened to us the scriptures?
  33 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to
  Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together,
  and them that were with them,
  34 Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath
  appeared to Simon.
  35 And they told what things were done in the way,
  and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.
  36 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the
  midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto
  you.
  37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and
  supposed that they had seen a spirit.
  38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and
  why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
  39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself:
  handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and
  bones, as ye see me have.
  40 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his
  hands and his feet.
  41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and
  wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?
  42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and
  of an honeycomb.
  43 And he took it, and did eat before them.
  44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I
  spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all
  things must be fulfilled, which were written in the
  law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms,
  concerning me.
  45 Then opened he their understanding, that they
  might understand the scriptures,
  46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus
  it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the
  dead the third day:
  47 And that repentance and remission of sins should
  be preached in his name among all nations, beginning
  at Jerusalem.
  48 And ye are witnesses of these things.
  49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon
  you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye
  be endued with power from on high.
  50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he
  lifted up his hands, and blessed them.
  51 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was
  parted from them, and carried up into heaven.
  52 And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem
  with great joy:
  53 And were continually in the temple, praising and
  blessing God. Amen.
