## Luke 24:1-49 in Context (Verses 1–52 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/luke/24/1) Now upon the first *day* of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain *others* with them.
 
 [2 ](/kjv/luke/24/2) And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
 
 [3 ](/kjv/luke/24/3) And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
 
 [4 ](/kjv/luke/24/4) And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:
 
 [5 ](/kjv/luke/24/5) And as they were afraid, and bowed down *their* faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?
 
 [6 ](/kjv/luke/24/6) He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,
 
 [7 ](/kjv/luke/24/7) Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/luke/24/8) And they remembered his words,
 
 [9 ](/kjv/luke/24/9) And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/luke/24/10) It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary *the mother* of James, and other *women that were* with them, which told these things unto the apostles.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/luke/24/11) And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/luke/24/12) Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/luke/24/13) ¶ And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem *about* threescore furlongs.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/luke/24/14) And they talked together of all these things which had happened.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/luke/24/15) And it came to pass, that, while they communed *together* and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/luke/24/16) But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/luke/24/17) And he said unto them, What manner of communications *are* these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?
 
 [18 ](/kjv/luke/24/18) And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?
 
 [19 ](/kjv/luke/24/19) And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:
 
 [20 ](/kjv/luke/24/20) And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/luke/24/21) But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/luke/24/22) Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;
 
 [23 ](/kjv/luke/24/23) And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.
 
 [24 ](/kjv/luke/24/24) And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found *it* even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.
 
 [25 ](/kjv/luke/24/25) Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
 
 [26 ](/kjv/luke/24/26) Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
 
 [27 ](/kjv/luke/24/27) And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
 
 [28 ](/kjv/luke/24/28) And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.
 
 [29 ](/kjv/luke/24/29) But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.
 
 [30 ](/kjv/luke/24/30) And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed *it*, and brake, and gave to them.
 
 [31 ](/kjv/luke/24/31) And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.
 
 [32 ](/kjv/luke/24/32) And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?
 
 [33 ](/kjv/luke/24/33) And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,
 
 [34 ](/kjv/luke/24/34) Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
 
 [35 ](/kjv/luke/24/35) And they told what things *were done* in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.
 
 [36 ](/kjv/luke/24/36) ¶ And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace *be* unto you.
 
 [37 ](/kjv/luke/24/37) But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
 
 [38 ](/kjv/luke/24/38) And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
 
 [39 ](/kjv/luke/24/39) Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
 
 [40 ](/kjv/luke/24/40) And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them *his* hands and *his* feet.
 
 [41 ](/kjv/luke/24/41) And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?
 
 [42 ](/kjv/luke/24/42) And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.
 
 [43 ](/kjv/luke/24/43) And he took *it*, and did eat before them.
 
 [44 ](/kjv/luke/24/44) And he said unto them, These *are* the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and *in* the prophets, and *in* the psalms, concerning me.
 
 [45 ](/kjv/luke/24/45) Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
 
 [46 ](/kjv/luke/24/46) And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
 
 [47 ](/kjv/luke/24/47) And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
 
 [48 ](/kjv/luke/24/48) And ye are witnesses of these things.
 
 [49 ](/kjv/luke/24/49) ¶ And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
 
 [50 ](/kjv/luke/24/50) ¶ And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.
 
 [51 ](/kjv/luke/24/51) And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.
 
 [52 ](/kjv/luke/24/52) And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:
