Luk 24:5

Luk 24:5And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?

Luk 24:6

Luk 24:6He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,

Luk 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.

Luk 24:15And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.

Luk 24:16

Luk 24:16But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.

Luk 24:17

Luk 24:17And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?

Luk 24:18

Luk 24:18And 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?

Luk 24:19

Luk 24:19And 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:

Luk 24:20

Luk 24:20And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.

Luk 24:21

Luk 24:21But 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.

Luk 24:26Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?

Luk 24:27

Luk 24:27And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

Luk 24:31

Luk 24:31And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.

Luk 24:32

Luk 24:32And 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?

Luk 24:33

Luk 24:33And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,

Luk 24:34

Luk 24:34Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
