24:1  Now on the first day of the week, at daybreak, the women came to the tomb, carrying the spices they had prepared.
24:2  They found the stone had been rolled away from the tomb;
24:3  but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Yeshua.
24:4  And while they were perplexed about this, suddenly two men in dazzling clothes stood beside them.
24:5  The women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you search for the living among the dead?
24:6  He is not here, but He is risen! Remember what He told you when He was still in the Galilee,
24:7  saying that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be executed, and on the third day rise up.”
24:8  And they were reminded of His words.
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?”
24:42  They gave Him a piece of broiled fish,
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.
24:48  You are witnesses of these things.
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.
