  20. Luke 24:1–53Rank 20 from verse 24
    Open

    1NOW 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.

    2And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.

    3And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

    4And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:

    5And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?

    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.

    13¶ And, 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.

    36¶ And 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.

    43And he took it, and did eat before them.

    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.

    48And 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.

    51And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.

    52And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:

    53And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.

2:14¶ But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judæa, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:

2:15For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.

2:16But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;

2:17And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

2:18And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:

2:19And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:

2:20The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:

2:21And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

2:22Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:

2:23Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:

2:24Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.

Selected passage

2:25For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:

2:26Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:

2:27Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

2:28Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.

2:29Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.

2:30Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;

2:31He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.

2:32This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.

2:33Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.

2:34For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

2:35Until I make thy foes thy footstool.

2:36Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
