24:1 But in one day of the week full early they came to the grave, and brought sweet smelling spices, that they had arrayed [bringing sweet spices, which they had made ready].
24:2 And they found the stone turned away from the grave.
24:3 And they went in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
24:4 And it was done, the while [while] they were astonished in thought of this thing, lo! two men stood beside them in shining cloak.
24:5 And when they dreaded, and bowed their semblance into the earth, they said to them, What seek ye him that liveth with dead men [What seek ye the living with the dead]?
24:6 He is not here, but is risen. Have ye mind, how he spake to you, when he was yet in Galilee,
24:7 and said [saying], For it behooveth man's Son to be betaken into the hands of sinful men, and to be crucified, and the third day to rise again.
24:9 And they went again from the grave, and told all these things to the eleven, and to all [the] others.
24:10 And there was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary of James, and other women that were with them, that said to the apostles these things [that said these things to the apostles].
24:11 And these words were seen to them as madness [And these words were seen before them as madness], and they believed not to them.
24:12 But Peter rose up, and ran to the grave; and he bowed down, and saw the linen clothes lying alone. And he went by himself, wondering on that that was done.
24:13 And lo! twain of them went in that day into a castle [And lo! two of them went in that day to a castle], that was from Jerusalem the space of sixty furlongs, by name Emmaus.
24:14 And they spake together of all these things that had befallen.
24:15 And it was done, the while they talked, and sought by themselves, Jesus himself approached, and went with them. [And it was done, while they talked, and sought with themselves, and Jesus himself nighing, went with them.]
24:16 But their eyes were holden, that they knew him not.
24:17 And he said to them, What be these words, that ye speak together wandering, and ye be sorrowful?
24:18 And one, whose name was Cleopas, answered, and said [to him], Thou thyself art a pilgrim in Jerusalem, and hast thou not known, what things be done in it in these days?
24:19 To whom he said, What things? And they said to him, Of Jesus of Nazareth, that was a man prophet, mighty in work and word before God and all the people;
24:20 and how the high priests and our princes betook him into condemnation of death [and how the highest priests and our princes betook him into damnation of death], and crucified him.
24:21 But we hoped, that he should have again-bought Israel. And now on all these things the third day is to day, that these things were done.
24:22 But also some women of ours made us afeared, which before day were at the grave [which before the light were at the grave];
24:23 and when his body was not found, they came, and said, that they saw also a sight of angels [they came, saying, them also to have seen a sight of angels], which said, that he liveth.
24:24 And some [men] of ours went to the grave, and they found so as the women said, but they found not him [but him they found not].
24:25 And he said to them, A! fools [O! fools], and slow of heart to believe in all things that the prophets have spoken.
24:26 Whether it behooved not Christ to suffer these things, and so to enter into his glory?
24:27 And he began at Moses and at all the prophets, and declared to them in all scriptures, that were of him. [And he beginning at Moses and all the prophets, expounded to them in all scriptures, which were of him.]
24:28 And they came nigh to the castle, whither they went. And he made countenance that he would go further.
24:29 And they constrained him, and said [saying], Dwell with us, for it draweth to night, and the day is now bowed down. And he entered [in] with them.
24:30 And it was done, while he sat at the meat with them, he took bread, and blessed, and brake, and took to them [and gave to them].
24:31 And the eyes of them were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished from their eyes.
24:32 And they said together, Whether our heart was not burning in us, while he spake to us in the way, and [he] opened to us [the] scriptures?
24:33 And they rose up in the same hour, and went again into Jerusalem [to Jerusalem], and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,
24:34 saying, That the Lord is risen verily, and appeared to Simon.
24:35 And they told what things were done in the way, and how they knew him in breaking of bread.
24:36 And while they spake these things, Jesus stood in the middle of them, and said to them, Peace to you; I am, do not ye dread.
24:37 But they were afraid and aghast, and guessed them to see a spirit.
24:38 And he said to them, What be ye troubled, and thoughts come up into your hearts [and thoughts ascend up into your hearts]?
24:39 See ye my hands and my feet, for I myself am. Feel ye, and see ye; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see that I have [as ye see me to have].
24:40 And when he had said this thing, he showed hands and feet to them.
24:41 And yet while they believed not, and wondered for joy, he said, Have ye here any thing that shall be eaten [Have ye any thing here that shall be eaten]?
24:42 And they proffered to him [And they offered to him] a part of a fish roasted, and an honeycomb.
24:43 And when he had eaten before them, he took that that (was) left, and gave to them; [And when he had eaten before them, he taking the reliefs, gave to them;]
24:44 and [he] said to them, These be the words that I spake to you [and he said to them, These be the words which I spake to you], when I was yet with you; for it is need that all things be fulfilled, that be written in the law of Moses [which be written in the law of Moses], and in prophets, and in psalms, of me.
24:45 Then he opened to them wit [Then he opened wit to them], that they should understand [the] scriptures.
24:46 And he said to them, For thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and rise again from death the third day [and to rise again from dead the third day];
24:47 and penance and remission of sins to be preached in his name to all folks, beginning at Jerusalem.
24:49 And I shall send the promise of my Father into you [And I send the promise of my Father into you]; but sit ye in the city, till ye be clothed with virtue from on high.
24:50 And he led them forth into Bethany, and when his hands were lifted up [and, his hands lifted up], he blessed them.
24:51 And it was done, the while he blessed them [while he blessed them], he departed from them, and was borne into heaven.
24:52 And they worshipped, and went again into Jerusalem with great joy, [And they worshipping went again to Jerusalem with great joy;]
24:53 and were evermore in the temple [and were ever in the temple], praising and blessing God.
