Luke 24

New Century Version NCV

1 Very early on the first day of the week, at dawn, the women came to the tomb, bringing the spices they had prepared.

2 They found the stone rolled away from the entrance of the tomb,

3 but when they went in, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

4 While they were wondering about this, two men in shining clothes suddenly stood beside them.

5 The women were very afraid and bowed their heads to the ground. The men said to them, "Why are you looking for a living person in this place for the dead?

6 He is not here; he has risen from the dead. Do you remember what he told you in Galilee?

7 He said the Son of Man must be handed over to sinful people, be crucified, and rise from the dead on the third day."

8 Then the women remembered what Jesus had said.

9 The women left the tomb and told all these things to the eleven apostles and the other followers.

10 It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and some other women who told the apostles everything that had happened at the tomb.

11 But they did not believe the women, because it sounded like nonsense.

12 But Peter got up and ran to the tomb. Bending down and looking in, he saw only the cloth that Jesus' body had been wrapped in. Peter went away to his home, wondering about what had happened.

13 That same day two of Jesus' followers were going to a town named Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.

14 They were talking about everything that had happened.

15 While they were talking and discussing, Jesus himself came near and began walking with them,

16 but they were kept from recognizing him.

17 Then he said, "What are these things you are talking about while you walk?" The two followers stopped, looking very sad.

18 The one named Cleopas answered, "Are you the only visitor in Jerusalem who does not know what just happened there?"

19 Jesus said to them, "What are you talking about?" They said, "About Jesus of Nazareth. He was a prophet who said and did many powerful things before God and all the people.

20 Our leaders and the leading priests handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him.

21 But we were hoping that he would free Israel. Besides this, it is now the third day since this happened.

22 And today some women among us amazed us. Early this morning they went to the tomb,

23 but they did not find his body there. They came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels who said that Jesus was alive!

24 So some of our group went to the tomb, too. They found it just as the women said, but they did not see Jesus."

25 Then Jesus said to them, "You are foolish and slow to believe everything the prophets said.

26 They said that the Christ must suffer these things before he enters his glory."

27 Then starting with what Moses and all the prophets had said about him, Jesus began to explain everything that had been written about himself in the Scriptures.

28 They came near the town of Emmaus, and Jesus acted as if he were going farther.

29 But they begged him, "Stay with us, because it is late; it is almost night." So he went in to stay with them.

30 When Jesus was at the table with them, he took some bread, gave thanks, divided it, and gave it to them.

31 And then, they were allowed to recognize Jesus. But when they saw who he was, he disappeared.

32 They said to each other, "It felt like a fire burning in us when Jesus talked to us on the road and explained the Scriptures to us."

33 So the two followers got up at once and went back to Jerusalem. There they found the eleven apostles and others gathered.

34 They were saying, "The Lord really has risen from the dead! He showed himself to Simon."

35 Then the two followers told what had happened on the road and how they recognized Jesus when he divided the bread.

36 While the two followers were telling this, Jesus himself stood right in the middle of them and said, "Peace be with you."

37 They were fearful and terrified and thought they were seeing a ghost.

38 But Jesus said, "Why are you troubled? Why do you doubt what you see?

39 Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see, because a ghost does not have a living body as you see I have."

40 After Jesus said this, he showed them his hands and feet.

41 While they still could not believe it because they were amazed and happy, Jesus said to them, "Do you have any food here?"

42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish.

43 While the followers watched, Jesus took the fish and ate it.

44 He said to them, "Remember when I was with you before? I said that everything written about me must happen -- everything in the law of Moses, the books of the prophets, and the Psalms."

45 Then Jesus opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures.

46 He said to them, "It is written that the Christ would suffer and rise from the dead on the third day

47 and that a change of hearts and lives and forgiveness of sins would be preached in his name to all nations, starting at Jerusalem.

48 You are witnesses of these things.

49 I will send you what my Father has promised, but you must stay in Jerusalem until you have received that power from heaven."

50 Jesus led his followers as far as Bethany, and he raised his hands and blessed them.

51 While he was blessing them, he was separated from them and carried into heaven.

52 They worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem very happy.

53 They stayed in the Temple all the time, praising God.

New Living Translation NLT

1 But very early on Sunday morning the women went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared.

2 They found that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance.

3 So they went in, but they didn’t find the body of the Lord Jesus.

4 As they stood there puzzled, two men suddenly appeared to them, clothed in dazzling robes.

5 The women were terrified and bowed with their faces to the ground. Then the men asked, “Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive?

6 He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead! Remember what he told you back in Galilee,

7 that the Son of Man must be betrayed into the hands of sinful men and be crucified, and that he would rise again on the third day.”

8 Then they remembered that he had said this.

9 So they rushed back from the tomb to tell his eleven disciples—and everyone else—what had happened.

10 It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and several other women who told the apostles what had happened.

11 But the story sounded like nonsense to the men, so they didn’t believe it.

12 However, Peter jumped up and ran to the tomb to look. Stooping, he peered in and saw the empty linen wrappings; then he went home again, wondering what had happened.

13 That same day two of Jesus’ followers were walking to the village of Emmaus, seven miles from Jerusalem.

14 As they walked along they were talking about everything that had happened.

15 As they talked and discussed these things, Jesus himself suddenly came and began walking with them.

16 But God kept them from recognizing him.

17 He asked them, “What are you discussing so intently as you walk along?” They stopped short, sadness written across their faces.

18 Then one of them, Cleopas, replied, “You must be the only person in Jerusalem who hasn’t heard about all the things that have happened there the last few days.”

19 “What things?” Jesus asked. “The things that happened to Jesus, the man from Nazareth,” they said. “He was a prophet who did powerful miracles, and he was a mighty teacher in the eyes of God and all the people.

20 But our leading priests and other religious leaders handed him over to be condemned to death, and they crucified him.

21 We had hoped he was the Messiah who had come to rescue Israel. This all happened three days ago.

22 “Then some women from our group of his followers were at his tomb early this morning, and they came back with an amazing report.

23 They said his body was missing, and they had seen angels who told them Jesus is alive!

24 Some of our men ran out to see, and sure enough, his body was gone, just as the women had said.”

25 Then Jesus said to them, “You foolish people! You find it so hard to believe all that the prophets wrote in the Scriptures.

26 Wasn’t it clearly predicted that the Messiah would have to suffer all these things before entering his glory?”

27 Then Jesus took them through the writings of Moses and all the prophets, explaining from all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.

28 By this time they were nearing Emmaus and the end of their journey. Jesus acted as if he were going on,

29 but they begged him, “Stay the night with us, since it is getting late.” So he went home with them.

30 As they sat down to eat, he took the bread and blessed it. Then he broke it and gave it to them.

31 Suddenly, their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And at that moment he disappeared!

32 They said to each other, “Didn’t our hearts burn within us as he talked with us on the road and explained the Scriptures to us?”

33 And within the hour they were on their way back to Jerusalem. There they found the eleven disciples and the others who had gathered with them,

34 who said, “The Lord has really risen! He appeared to Peter. ”

35 Then the two from Emmaus told their story of how Jesus had appeared to them as they were walking along the road, and how they had recognized him as he was breaking the bread.

36 And just as they were telling about it, Jesus himself was suddenly standing there among them. “Peace be with you,” he said.

37 But the whole group was startled and frightened, thinking they were seeing a ghost!

38 “Why are you frightened?” he asked. “Why are your hearts filled with doubt?

39 Look at my hands. Look at my feet. You can see that it’s really me. Touch me and make sure that I am not a ghost, because ghosts don’t have bodies, as you see that I do.”

40 As he spoke, he showed them his hands and his feet.

41 Still they stood there in disbelief, filled with joy and wonder. Then he asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”

42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish,

43 and he ate it as they watched.

44 Then he said, “When I was with you before, I told you that everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and in the Psalms must be fulfilled.”

45 Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.

46 And he said, “Yes, it was written long ago that the Messiah would suffer and die and rise from the dead on the third day.

47 It was also written that this message would be proclaimed in the authority of his name to all the nations, beginning in Jerusalem: ‘There is forgiveness of sins for all who repent.’

48 You are witnesses of all these things.

49 “And now I will send the Holy Spirit, just as my Father promised. But stay here in the city until the Holy Spirit comes and fills you with power from heaven.”

50 Then Jesus led them to Bethany, and lifting his hands to heaven, he blessed them.

51 While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up to heaven.

52 So they worshiped him and then returned to Jerusalem filled with great joy.

53 And they spent all of their time in the Temple, praising God.
