CHAPTER XXIV. 7 saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again; 8 and they remembered his words: 9 and returning from the sepulchre, they told all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest: 10 Mary the Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them, were they who told these things to the apostles: 11 and those words seemed to them as an idle tale, and they AND on the first day of the believed them not; week, very early in the morning, they went to the sepulchre, carrying the spices which they had prepared; 2 and they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre : 3 but when they entered, they found not the body of the Lord Jesus: 4 and it came to pass, while they were perplexed thereat, that, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments; 5 and as they were terrified, and bent down their faces to the ground; they said to them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? 6 he is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake to you, while he was yet in Galilee ; 12 but Peter arose, and ran to the sepulchre; and stooping down, beheld the linen clothes only and he went away, wondering in himself what had come to pass. 13 And, behold, two of them were going that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was distant from Jerusalem about sixty furlongs ; 14 and they talked together of all these things that had happened: 15 and it came to pass, while they were talking and reasoning together, that Jesus himself drew near them, and went on with them; but their eyes were withheld from knowing him: 16 and he said to them, What are these discourses that ye 17 and they stopped, sorrowful; and one of them, by name Cleopas, answering, said to him, Art thou the only one dwelling in Jerusalem that knoweth not the things which are come to pass there in these days? 18 and he said to them, What things? and they said to him, Those concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet powerful in deed and word, before God and all the people: 19 and how the chief priests, and our rulers, delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him: 20 but we hoped, that it was he who is to redeem Israel: and, moreover, this is the third day since these things were done: 21 yea, and some women amongst us have astonished us, who were early at the sepulchre ; 22 and when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive; 23 and some of those who are with us went to the sepulchre, and found it as the women had said; but him they saw not. 24 And he said to them, O thoughtless, and slow in heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! 25 Ought not the Christ to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory? 26 and beginning with Moses, and all the prophets, he expounded to them, in all the scriptures, the things concerning himself. 27 And they drew near to the village to which they were going; and he made, as if he would go further: 28 but they constrained him, saying, Abide with us; for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent; and he went in, to abide with them: 29 and it came to pass, as he sat at table with them, that he took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to them: 30 and their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he disappeared from them: 31 and they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us in the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures? 32 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem; and found the eleven, and them that were with them, gathered together, 33 who said, The Lord is in- 1 Cor. xv. 5. deed risen, and hath appeared to Simon: 34 and they told the things that had passed on the way; and how he became known to them in the breaking of the bread. 35 And while they were thus speaking, he himself stood in the midst of them, and saith to them, Peace be to you! 36 but they were affrighted and terrified, and thought that they saw a spirit: 37 and he said to them, Why are ye troubled? and why do doubts arise in your hearts? 38 behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: feel me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have: 39 and saying this, he shewed them his hands and his feet. 40 And as they believed not yet for joy, and were in amazement, he said to them, Have ye here any thing to eat? 41 and they gave him a piece of a dried fish; and he took it, and eat it before them: 42 and he said to them, These are the words which I spake to you, while I was yet with you; that all the things which were written in the law of c. cxviii. 31. Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me, must be fulfilled. 43 Then he opened their mind to understand the scriptures; and said to them, It is thus written, that the Christ should suffer, and on the third day rise from the dead: 44 and that repentance, and remission of sins, should be preached in his name to all the Gentiles, beginning from Jerusalem: 45 and ye are witnesses of c. i. 2. these things: and, behold, I will send forth the promise of my Father upon you; 46 but abide ye in the City, Acts, i. 4. until ye are endued with power from on high. 47 And he led them out as far as to Bethany; and lifting up his hands, he blessed them: 48 and it came to pass, while he blessed them, that he was parted from them, and carried up to heaven: 49 and they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy. 50 And they were continually in the temple, blessing God.

N the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God: 2 the same was in the beginning with God: 3 all things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made, that was made: 4 in himself was Life; and the Life was the Light of men, 5 and the Light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness overcame him not. 6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John: 7 the same came for a witness, to bear testimony of the Light, that all might believe through him: 8 he was not the Light, but he came to bear witness of the Light: 9 the true Light, was that which lighteth every man that cometh into the world: 10 he was in the world, and the world was made by him, yet the world knew him not: 11 he came to his own, yet his own received him not: 12 but, to as many as received him, he gave power to become. the sons of God; 13 even to those that believe in his name, who was begotten, not of bloods, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God: 14 and the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us; and we beheld his glory, as the glory of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. 15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I said, He who cometh after me is preferred before me; because he was before me: 16 for we all have received, from his fulness, even grace above grace: 17 for, the law was given Deut. iv. 32. through Moses; but grace and truth came through Jesus Heb. ii. 1-4.
