¹ but, on the first day of the week, at early dawn, unto the tomb, came they, bringing the spices which they had prepared.

² And they found the stone, rolled away from the tomb;

³ but, when they entered, they found not the body [[of the Lord Jesus]].

⁴ And it came to pass, while they were perplexing themselves concerning this, that lo! two men, stood near them, in dazzling raiment.

⁵ And, they becoming afraid, and bending their faces unto the ground, they said unto them—Why seek ye the Living One with the dead?

⁶ [[He is not here, but hath arisen:]] Remember how he spake unto you while yet he was in Galilee:

⁷ Saying, as to the Son of Man, that he must needs be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified,—and, on the third day, arise.

⁸ And they remembered his sayings;

⁹ and, returning [from the tomb], reported all these things unto the eleven, and unto all the rest.

¹⁰ Now they were the Magdalene Mary, and Joana, and Mary the mother of James; and, the other women with them, were telling, unto the apostles, these things.

¹¹ And these sayings appeared before them, as if idle talk, and they were minded to disbelieve them.

¹² [[But, Peter, arising, ran unto the tomb,—and, bending near, beholdeth the linen bandages, alone; and departed, unto himself, marvelling at the thing that had happened.]]

¹³ And lo! two from among them, on the selfsame day, were journeying unto a village, distant sixty furlongs from Jerusalem, the name of which, was Emmaus;

¹⁴ and, they, were conversing one with another, about all these things which had occurred.

¹⁵ And it came to pass, as they were conversing and reasoning together, that, Jesus himself, drawing near, was journeying with them;

¹⁶ but, their eyes, were held, so as not to know him.

¹⁷ And he said unto them—What are these things which ye are debating one with another, as ye walk along? And they came to a stand, sad in countenance.

¹⁸ But one, by name Cleopas, answering, said unto him—Art, thou, lodging, alone, in Jerusalem, and knowest not the things which have come to pass therein in these days?

¹⁹ And he said unto them—What things? And, they, said unto him—The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who became a prophet, mighty in work and word, before God and all the people:

²⁰ In what way also our High-priests and Rulers delivered him up unto a sentence of death, and crucified him.

²¹ We, however, were hoping that, he, was the one destined to redeem Israel! But indeed, even with all these things, this brings on, the third, day, since these things happened:—

²² Nay! certain women also, from amongst us, have made us beside ourselves, in that they went early unto the tomb;

²³ and, not finding his body, came, saying—that, a vision of messengers, they had seen, who were affirming him to be alive.

²⁴ And certain of them who were with us departed unto the tomb,—and found so, according as, the women, had said; but, him, they saw not.

²⁵ And, he, said unto them—O thoughtless ones! and slow in heart to rest your faith upon all things which the prophets have spoken:—

²⁶ Was it not needful for the Christ, these very things, to suffer, and to enter into his glory?

²⁷ And, beginning from Moses, and from all the prophets, he thoroughly explained to them, in all the Scriptures, the things concerning himself.

²⁸ And they drew near unto the village, whither they were journeying; and, he, made for journeying, further.

²⁹ And they constrained him, saying—Abide with us; because it is, towards evening, and the day hath already declined. And he went in to abide with them.

³⁰ And it came to pass, when he reclined with them, taking the loaf, he blessed, and, breaking it, went on to give unto them.

³¹ And, their, eyes were opened, and they knew him; and, he, vanished from them.

³² And they said one to another—Was not, our heart, burning, as he was speaking to us in the way, as he was opening to us the Scriptures?

³³ And, arising in that very hour, they returned unto Jerusalem,—and found, gathered together, the eleven, and them who were with them,

³⁴ saying—In truth, the Lord hath arisen, and hath appeared unto Simon!

³⁵ And, they, went on to relate the things, [that had passed] on the journey, and how he was made known unto them in the breaking of the loaf.

³⁶ Now, as, these very things, they were telling, he himself, stood in their midst [[and saith unto them—Peace to you!]]

³⁷ But, being agitated and becoming, afraid, they began to imagine, that, upon a spirit, they were looking.

³⁸ And he said unto them—Why are ye troubled? and for what cause do reasonings arise in your hearts?

³⁹ See my hands, and my feet,—that it is, I, myself: Handle me, and see! because, a spirit, hath not, flesh and bones, as ye perceive, I, have.

⁴⁰ [[And, this saying, he pointed out to them his hands and his feet.]]

⁴¹ Now, while yet they believed not for the joy, and were marvelling, he said unto them—Have ye anything to eat, here?

⁴² And they gave unto him a piece of boiled fish;

⁴³ and, taking it before them, he did eat.

⁴⁴ And he said unto them—These, are my words, which I spake unto you yet being with you: That all the things that are written in the law of Moses and the Prophets and Psalms, concerning me, must needs be fulfilled.

⁴⁵ Then, opened he their mind, to understand the Scriptures;

⁴⁶ and said unto them—Thus, it is written, That the Christ, should suffer, and arise from among the dead on the third day;

⁴⁷ And that repentance for remission of sins should be proclaimed upon his name unto all the nations,—beginning from Jerusalem.

⁴⁸ Ye, are witnesses of these things.

⁴⁹ And lo! I, am sending forth the promise of my Father upon you; but tarry, ye, in the city, until ye be clothed, from on high, with power.

⁵⁰ And he led them forth as far as unto Bethany; and, uplifting his hands, he blessed them.

⁵¹ And it came to pass, while he was blessing them, he parted from them [[and was born up into heaven.]]

⁵² And, they, [[having bowed down unto him]] returned unto Jerusalem, with great joy;

⁵³ and were continually in the temple, blessing God.
