The Resurrection

1 ^hBut on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, ⁱtaking the spices they had prepared. 2 And they found ^jthe stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

On the Road to Emmaus

13 That very day ^ytwo of them were going to a village named Emmaus, about seven miles¹ from Jerusalem, 14 and they were talking with each other about all these things that had happened. 15 While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus himself drew near and went with them. 16 ^zBut their eyes were kept from recognizing him. 17 And he said to them, “What is this conversation that you are holding with each other as you walk?” And they stood still, looking sad. 18 Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?” 19 And he said to them, “What things?” And they said to him, “Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, a man who was ^aa prophet ^bmighty in deed and word before God and all the people, 20 and ^chow our chief priests and ^drulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him. 21 But we had hoped that he was ^ethe one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now ^fthe third day since these things happened. 22 Moreover, some women of our company amazed us. ^gThey were at the tomb early in the morning, 23 and ^hwhen they did not find his body, they came back saying that ⁱthey had even seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive. 24 ^jSome of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but him they did not see.” 25 And he said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! 26 ^kWas it not necessary that ^lthe Christ should suffer these things and enter into ^mhis glory?” 27 And ⁿbeginning with ^oMoses and ^pall the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.

28 So they drew near to the village to which they were going. ^qHe acted as if he were going farther, 29 but they urged him strongly, saying, “Stay with us, for it is toward evening and ^rthe day is now far spent.” So he went in to stay with them. 30 When he was at table with them, he took the bread and ^sblessed and broke it and gave it to them. 31 ^tAnd their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And ^uhe vanished from their sight. 32 They said to each other, ^v“Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he ^wopened to us the Scriptures?” 33 And they rose that same hour and returned to Jerusalem. And they ^xfound the eleven and ^ythose who were with them gathered together, 34 saying, “The Lord has risen indeed, and ^zhas appeared to Simon!” 35 Then they told what had happened on the road, and ^ahow he was known to them in ^bthe breaking of the bread.
