Luke 24:6-47
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 24
6He is not here, but He has risen. Remember how He spoke to you while He was still in Galilee, 7saying that the Son of Man must be handed over to sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise from the dead.' 8And they remembered His words, 9and returned from the tomb and reported all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest. 10Now these women were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James; also the other women with them were telling these things to the apostles. 11But these words appeared to them as nonsense, and they would not believe the women. 12Nevertheless, Peter got up and ran to the tomb; and when he stooped and looked in, he *saw the linen wrappings only; and he went away to his home, marveling at what had happened.
13And behold, on that very day two of them were going to a village named Emmaus, which was sixty stadia from Jerusalem.
14And they were talking with each other about all these things which had taken place.
15While they were talking and discussing, Jesus Himself approached and began traveling with them.
16But their eyes were kept from recognizing Him.
17And He said to them, 'What are these words that you are exchanging with one another as you are walking?' And they came to a stop, looking sad.
18One of them, named Cleopas, answered and said to Him, 'Are You possibly the only one living near Jerusalem who does not know about the things that happened here in these days?'
19And He said to them, 'What sort of things?' And they said to Him, 'Those about Jesus the Nazarene, who proved to be a prophet mighty in deed and word in the sight of God and all the people,
20and how the chief priests and our rulers handed Him over to be sentenced to death, and crucified Him.
21But we were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened.
22But also some women among us left us bewildered. When they were at the tomb early in the morning,
23and did not find His body, they came, saying that they had also seen a vision of angels who said that He was alive.
24And so some of those who were with us went to the tomb, and found it just exactly as the women also had said; but Him they did not see.'
25And then He said to them, 'You foolish men and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!
26Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and to come into His glory?'
27Then beginning with Moses and with all the Prophets, He explained to them the things written about Himself in all the Scriptures.
28And they approached the village where they were going, and He gave the impression that He was going farther.
29And so they strongly urged Him, saying, 'Stay with us, for it is getting toward evening, and the day is now nearly over.' So He went in to stay with them.
30And it came about, when He had reclined at the table with them, that He took the bread and blessed it, and He broke it and began giving it to them.
31And then their eyes were opened and they recognized Him; and He vanished from their sight.
32They said to one another, 'Were our hearts not burning within us when He was speaking to us on the road, while He was explaining the Scriptures to us?'
33And they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together and those who were with them,
34saying, 'The Lord has really risen and has appeared to Simon!'
35They began to relate their experiences on the road, and how He was recognized by them at the breaking of the bread.
36Now while they were telling these things, Jesus Himself suddenly stood in their midst and *said to them, 'Peace be to you.'
37But they were startled and frightened, and thought that they were looking at a spirit.
38And He said to them, 'Why are you frightened, and why are doubts arising in your hearts?
39See My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself; touch Me and see, because a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you plainly see that I have.'
40And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet.
41While they still could not believe it because of their joy and astonishment, He said to them, 'Have you anything here to eat?'
42They served Him a piece of broiled fish;
43and He took it and ate it in front of them.
44Now He said to them, 'These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all the things that are written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.'
45Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures,
46and He said to them, 'So it is written, that the Christ would suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,
47and that repentance for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in His name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
King James Version
Chapter 24
6He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, 7Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. 8And they remembered his words,
9And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.
10It 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.
11And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.
12Then 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.
13And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.
14And they talked together of all these things which had happened.
15And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.
16But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.
17And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad
18And 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?
19And 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:
20And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.
21But 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.
22Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;
23And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.
24And 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.
25Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
26Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
27And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
28And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.
29But 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.
30And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.
31And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.
32And 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?
33And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,
34Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
35And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.
36And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
37But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
38And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled and why do thoughts arise in your hearts
39Behold 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.
40And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.
41And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat
42And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.
44And 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.
45Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
46And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
47And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 24
6"He is not here, but he has risen! Remember how he spoke to you when he was still in Galilee, 7saying, ‘It is necessary that the Son of Man be betrayed into the hands of sinful men, be crucified, and rise on the third day’?" 8And they remembered his words.
9Returning from the tomb, they reported all these things to the Eleven and to all the rest.
10Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them were telling the apostles these things.
11But these words seemed like nonsense to them, and they did not believe the women.
12Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. When he stooped to look in, he saw only the linen cloths. So he went away, amazed at what had happened.
13Now that same day two of them were on their way to a village called Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem.
14Together they were discussing everything that had taken place.
15And while they were discussing and arguing, Jesus himself came near and began to walk along with them.
16But they were prevented from recognizing him.
17Then he asked them, "What is this dispute that you’re having with each other as you are walking?" And they stopped walking and looked discouraged.
19"What things?" he asked them. So they said to him, "The things concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet powerful in action and speech before God and all the people,
20and how our chief priests and leaders handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him.
21But we were hoping that he was the one who was about to redeem Israel. Besides all this, it’s the third day since these things happened.
22Moreover, some women from our group astounded us. They arrived early at the tomb,
23and when they didn’t find his body, they came and reported that they had seen a vision of angels who said he was alive.
24Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they didn’t see him."
25He said to them, "How foolish and slow you are to believe all that the prophets have spoken!
26Wasn’t it necessary for the Messiah to suffer these things and enter into his glory?"
27Then beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted for them the things concerning himself in all the Scriptures.
28They came near the village where they were going, and he gave the impression that he was going farther.
29But they urged him, "Stay with us, because it’s almost evening, and now the day is almost over." So he went in to stay with them.
30It was as he reclined at the table with them that he took the bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them.
31Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized him, but he disappeared from their sight.
32They said to each other, "Weren’t our hearts burning within us while he was talking with us on the road and explaining the Scriptures to us?"
33That very hour they got up and returned to Jerusalem. They found the Eleven and those with them gathered together,
34who said, "The Lord has truly been raised and has appeared to Simon!"
35Then they began to describe what had happened on the road and how he was made known to them in the breaking of the bread.
36As they were saying these things, he himself stood in their midst. He said to them, "Peace to you!"
37But they were startled and terrified and thought they were seeing a ghost.
38"Why are you troubled?" he asked them. "And why do doubts arise in your hearts?
39Look at my hands and my feet, that it is I myself! Touch me and see, because a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you can see I have."
40Having said this, he showed them his hands and feet.
41But while they still were amazed and in disbelief because of their joy, he asked them, "Do you have anything here to eat?"
42So they gave him a piece of a broiled fish,
43and he took it and ate in their presence.
44He told them, "These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you—that everything written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms must be fulfilled."
45Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.
46He also said to them, "This is what is written: The Messiah would suffer and rise from the dead the third day,
47and repentance for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in his name to all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
New Living Translation
Chapter 24
6He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead! Remember what he told you back in Galilee, 7that the Son of Man must be betrayed into the hands of sinful men and be crucified, and that he would rise again on the third day.'
8Then they remembered that he had said this.
9So they rushed back from the tomb to tell his eleven disciples — and everyone else — what had happened.
10It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and several other women who told the apostles what had happened.
11But the story sounded like nonsense to the men, so they didn’t believe it.
12However, Peter jumped up and ran to the tomb to look. Stooping, he peered in and saw the empty linen wrappings; then he went home again, wondering what had happened.
13That same day two of Jesus’ followers were walking to the village of Emmaus, seven miles from Jerusalem.
14As they walked along they were talking about everything that had happened.
15As they talked and discussed these things, Jesus himself suddenly came and began walking with them.
16But God kept them from recognizing him.
17He asked them, 'What are you discussing so intently as you walk along?' They stopped short, sadness written across their faces.
18Then one of them, Cleopas, replied, 'You must be the only person in Jerusalem who hasn’t heard about all the things that have happened there the last few days.'
19What things?' Jesus asked. 'The things that happened to Jesus, the man from Nazareth,' they said. 'He was a prophet who did powerful miracles, and he was a mighty teacher in the eyes of God and all the people.
20But our leading priests and other religious leaders handed him over to be condemned to death, and they crucified him.
21We had hoped he was the Messiah who had come to rescue Israel. This all happened three days ago.
22Then some women from our group of his followers were at his tomb early this morning, and they came back with an amazing report.
23They said his body was missing, and they had seen angels who told them Jesus is alive!
24Some of our men ran out to see, and sure enough, his body was gone, just as the women had said.'
25Then Jesus said to them, 'You foolish people! You find it so hard to believe all that the prophets wrote in the Scriptures.
26Wasn’t it clearly predicted that the Messiah would have to suffer all these things before entering his glory?'
27Then Jesus took them through the writings of Moses and all the prophets, explaining from all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.
28By this time they were nearing Emmaus and the end of their journey. Jesus acted as if he were going on,
29but they begged him, 'Stay the night with us, since it is getting late.' So he went home with them.
30As they sat down to eat, he took the bread and blessed it. Then he broke it and gave it to them.
31Suddenly, their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And at that moment he disappeared!
32They said to each other, 'Didn’t our hearts burn within us as he talked with us on the road and explained the Scriptures to us?'
33And within the hour they were on their way back to Jerusalem. There they found the eleven disciples and the others who had gathered with them,
34who said, 'The Lord has really risen! He appeared to Peter. '
35Then the two from Emmaus told their story of how Jesus had appeared to them as they were walking along the road, and how they had recognized him as he was breaking the bread.
36And just as they were telling about it, Jesus himself was suddenly standing there among them. 'Peace be with you,' he said.
37But the whole group was startled and frightened, thinking they were seeing a ghost!
38Why are you frightened?' he asked. 'Why are your hearts filled with doubt?
39Look at my hands. Look at my feet. You can see that it’s really me. Touch me and make sure that I am not a ghost, because ghosts don’t have bodies, as you see that I do.'
40As he spoke, he showed them his hands and his feet.
41Still they stood there in disbelief, filled with joy and wonder. Then he asked them, 'Do you have anything here to eat?'
42They gave him a piece of broiled fish,
43and he ate it as they watched.
44Then he said, 'When I was with you before, I told you that everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and in the Psalms must be fulfilled.'
45Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.
46And he said, 'Yes, it was written long ago that the Messiah would suffer and die and rise from the dead on the third day.
47It was also written that this message would be proclaimed in the authority of his name to all the nations, beginning in Jerusalem: ‘There is forgiveness of sins for all who repent.’

15While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus himself drew near and went with them.
16But their eyes were kept from recognizing him.
17And he said to them, "What is this conversation that you are holding with each other as you walk?" And they stood still, looking sad.
18Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered him, "Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?"
19And he said to them, "What things?" And they said to him, "Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, a man who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people,
20and how our chief priests and rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him.

40And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.
41And while they still disbelieved for joy and were marveling, he said to them, "Have you anything here to eat?"
42They gave him a piece of broiled fish,
43and he took it and ate before them.
44Then he said to them, "These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled."

9When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others.
10It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles.
11But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense.
12Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. Bending over, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he went away, wondering to himself what had happened.
13Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.
14They were talking with each other about everything that had happened.
15As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them;
16but they were kept from recognizing him.
17He asked them, "What are you discussing together as you walk along?" They stood still, their faces downcast.
18One of them, named Cleopas, asked him, "Are you the only one visiting Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?"
19"What things?" he asked. "About Jesus of Nazareth," they replied. "He was a prophet, powerful in word and deed before God and all the people.
20The chief priests and our rulers handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him;
21but we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. And what is more, it is the third day since all this took place.
22In addition, some of our women amazed us. They went to the tomb early this morning
23but didn’t find his body. They came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who said he was alive.
24Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see Jesus."
25He said to them, "How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken!
26Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?"
27And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.
28As they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus continued on as if he were going farther.
29But they urged him strongly, "Stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over." So he went in to stay with them.
30When he was at the table with them, 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 asked each other, "Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?"
33They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, assembled together
34and saying, "It is true! The Lord has risen and has appeared to Simon."
35Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread.
37They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost.
38He said to them, "Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds?
39Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have."

40When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet.
41But while they still did not believe for joy, and marveled, He said to them, “Have you any food here?”
42So they gave Him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb.
43And He took it and ate in their presence.
