24:9 And when they returned from the tomb, they told all these things to the eleven and to everyone else.
24:10 Now it was Miriam from Magdala, Joanna, the Miriam of Jacob and others together with them who were telling these things to the emissaries.
24:11 But these words appeared to them as nonsense, and they would not believe them.
24:12 But Peter got up and ran to the tomb. Leaning in, he sees only the linen cloths. And he went away to his home, marveling at what had happened.
24:13 Now behold, two of them on that very day were traveling to a village named Emmaus, a distance of about seven miles from Jerusalem.
24:14 They were speaking with one another about all the things that had been happening.
24:15 While they were talking and discussing, Yeshua Himself approached and began traveling with them.
24:16 But their eyes were kept from recognizing Him.
24:17 Then He said to them, “What are these things you are discussing with one another as you are walking along?” They stood still, looking gloomy.
24:18 Then the one named Cleopas answered and said to Him, “Are You the only one visiting Jerusalem who doesn’t know the things that happened there in these days?”
24:19 Yeshua said to them, “What kind of things?” And they said to Him, “The things about Yeshua from Natzeret, who was a Prophet, powerful in deed and word before God and all the people—
24:20 how the ruling kohanim and our leaders handed Him over to be sentenced to death, and they executed Him.
24:21 But we were hoping that He was the One about to redeem Israel. Besides all this, today is the third day since these things happened.
24:22 “But also some women among us amazed us. Early in the morning they were at the tomb.
24:23 When they didn’t find His body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said He is alive!
24:24 Some of those with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women said, but they did not see Him.”
24:25 Yeshua said to them, “Oh foolish ones, so slow of heart to put your trust in all that the prophets spoke!
24:26 Was it not necessary for Messiah to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?”
24:27 Then beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them the things written about Himself in all the Scriptures.
24:28 They approached the village where they were going, and He acted as though He were going farther on.
24:29 But they urged Him, saying, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening and the day is already gone.” So He went in to stay with them.
24:30 And it happened that when He was reclining at the table with them, He took the matzah, offered a bracha and, breaking it, gave it to them.
24:31 Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Him, and He disappeared from them.
24:32 They said to one another, “Didn’t our heart burn within us while He was speaking with us on the road, while He was explaining the Scriptures to us?”
24:33 And they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem. They found the eleven and others with them gathered together,
24:34 saying, “The Lord is risen indeed! He has appeared to Simon!”
24:35 Then they began telling about the events on the road and how He became recognized by them in the breaking of the matzah.
24:36 While they were speaking of these things, Yeshua Himself stood in the midst of them and said, “Shalom Aleichem!”
24:37 But they were startled and terrified, thinking they were seeing a ghost.
24:38 Then He said to them, “Why are you so shaken? And why do doubts arise in your heart?
24:39 Look at My hands and My feet—it is I Myself! Touch Me and see! For a spirit doesn’t have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”
24:40 And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet.
24:41 But while they were still in disbelief due to joy and wonder, He said to them, “Do you have anything to eat here?”
24:43 and He took it and ate it in their presence.
24:44 Then He said to them, “These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you—everything written concerning Me in the Torah of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.
24:45 Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures,
24:46 and He said to them, “So it is written, that the Messiah is to suffer and to rise from the dead on the third day,
24:47 and that repentance for the removal of sins is to be proclaimed in His name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
24:49 And behold, I am sending the promise of My Father upon you; but you are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.”
24:50 Then Yeshua led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them.
24:51 And while blessing them, He departed from them and was taken up into heaven.
24:52 After worshiping Him, they returned to Jerusalem with great joy.
24:53 And they were continually in the Temple, praising God.
