Luke 24 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Luk 24:1

Now on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared.

Luk 24:2And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb,
Luk 24:3but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
Luk 24:4And it happened that while they were perplexed about this, behold, two men suddenly stood near them in dazzling clothing,
Luk 24:5and when the women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living One among the dead?
Luk 24:6“He is not here, but He has [fn]risen. Remember how He spoke to you while He was still in Galilee,
Luk 24:7saying that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.”
Luk 24:8And they remembered His words,
Luk 24:9and when they returned from the tomb, they reported all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.
Luk 24:10Now Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James and the rest of the women with them were there; they were telling these things to the apostles.
Luk 24:11But these words appeared [fn]to them as nonsense, and they were not believing them.
Luk 24:12But Peter stood up and ran to the tomb; and stooping to look in, he *saw the linen wrappings [fn]only. And he went away by himself, marveling at what had happened.

The Road to Emmaus

Luk 24:13

And behold, two of them were going that same day to a village named Emmaus, which was [fn]sixty stadia from Jerusalem.

Luk 24:14And they were conversing with each other about all these things which had happened.
Luk 24:15And it happened that while they were conversing and debating, Jesus Himself approached and was going with them.
Luk 24:16But their eyes were prevented from recognizing Him.
Luk 24:17And He said to them, “What are these words that you are discussing with one another as you are walking?” And they stood still, looking sad.
Luk 24:18And one of them, named Cleopas, answered and said to Him, “Are You [fn]the only one visiting Jerusalem and unaware of the things which have happened here in these days?”
Luk 24:19And He said to them, “What things?” And they said to Him, “The things about Jesus the Nazarene, who was a mighty prophet in deed and word in the sight of God and all the people,
Luk 24:20and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered Him to the sentence of death, and crucified Him.
Luk 24:21“But we were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, it is the third day since these things happened.
Luk 24:22“But also some women among us astounded us. When they were at the tomb early in the morning,
Luk 24:23and not finding His body, they came, saying that they had also seen a vision of angels who said that He was alive.
Luk 24:24“Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just exactly as the women also said, but Him they did not see.”
Luk 24:25And He said to them, “O foolish ones and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!
Luk 24:26“Was it not necessary for the [fn]Christ to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?”
Luk 24:27Then beginning [fn]with Moses and [fn]with all the prophets, He interpreted to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.
Luk 24:28

And they approached the village where they were going, and He acted as though He were going farther.

Luk 24:29But they urged Him strongly, saying, “Stay with us, for it is toward evening, and the day [fn]is now nearly over.” So He went in to stay with them.
Luk 24:30And it happened that when He had reclined at the table with them, He took the bread and blessed it, and after breaking it, He was giving it to them.
Luk 24:31Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Him. And He vanished from [fn]their sight.
Luk 24:32And they said to one another, “[fn]Were not our hearts burning within us while He was speaking to us on the road, while He was opening the Scriptures to us?”
Luk 24:33And they stood up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and found gathered together the eleven and those with them,
Luk 24:34who were saying, “The Lord has really risen and has appeared to Simon.”
Luk 24:35And they were relating [fn]their experiences on the road and how He was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.

Jesus Appears to His Disciples

Luk 24:36

Now while they were telling these things, He Himself stood in their midst and *said to them, “Peace to you.”

Luk 24:37But being startled and frightened, they were thinking that they were seeing a spirit.
Luk 24:38And He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your [fn]hearts?
Luk 24:39“See My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself; touch Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.”
Luk 24:40And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet.
Luk 24:41And while they still were not believing because of their joy and were still marveling, He said to them, “Have you anything here to eat?”
Luk 24:42They gave Him a piece of a broiled fish,
Luk 24:43and He took it and ate it before them.
Luk 24:44

Now He said to them, “These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things which are written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.”

Luk 24:45Then He opened their [fn]minds to understand the Scriptures,
Luk 24:46and He said to them, “Thus it is written, that the [fn]Christ would suffer and rise again from the dead the third day,
Luk 24:47and that repentance [fn]for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed [fn]in His name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
Luk 24:48“You are witnesses of these things.
Luk 24:49“And behold, I am sending the promise of My Father upon you, but you are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.”

The Ascension

Luk 24:50

And He led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up His hands, He blessed them.

Luk 24:51And it happened that while He was blessing them, He parted from them and was carried up into heaven.
Luk 24:52And they, after worshiping Him, returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
Luk 24:53and were continually in the temple blessing God.
