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.

<>stone

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:

<>were much perplexed, <>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?

<>dead

6 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,

<>is risen, <>remember how he spake unto you, <>he spake unto you

7 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

<>into the hands, <>sinful men, <>the third day rise again

8 And they remembered his words,

<>v. 8

9 And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.

<>told all these things

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.

<>women, <>apostles

11 And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.

<>idle

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.

<>the linen clothes

13 And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.

<>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.

<>while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them, <>Jesus himself drew near, <>Jesus himself … went with them.

16 But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.

<>v. 16

17 And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?

<>What manner of communications are these that ye have, <>What manner of communications are these that ye … 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?

<>stranger

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:

<>things … Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, <>they said … Jesus of Nazareth … was a prophet, <>in deed and word

20 And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.

<>v. 20, <>chief, <>priests, <>rulers

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.

<>redeemed, <>Israel

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.

<>his body, <>a vision of angels, which said

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:

<>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?

<>Ought not Christ to have suffered

27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

<>v. 27, <>Moses, <>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.

<>they constrained him, <>they constrained him … And he went in to tarry with them., <>the day is far spent, <>tarry

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.

<>meat, <>he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave, <>bread

31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.

<>their eyes were opened, and they knew him

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?

<>Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?, <>by the way

33 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,

<>the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them

34 Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.

<>Simon

35 And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.

<>in the way

36 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

<>Jesus … saith … Peace be unto you., <>Peace

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?

<>Why are ye troubled?

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.

<>handle me, and see, <>flesh and bones … ye see me have, <>see me

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.

<>all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, <>things … were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me, <>were written

45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,

<>v. 45

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.

<>vv. 47-48, <>repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, <>repentance … should be preached, <>remission of sins should be preached, <>remission of sins, <>beginning at Jerusalem

48 And ye are witnesses of these things.

<>vv. 47-48

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.

<>the promise of my Father, <>the city

50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.

<>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.

<>he was … carried up into heaven

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

<>worshipped him

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

<>were continually in the temple, <>the temple
