Lucas 24

Men på den første Dag i Ugen meget årle kom de til Graven og bragte de vellugtende Urter, som de havde beredt.

Og de fandt Stenen bortvæltet fra Graven.

Men da de gik derind, fandt de ikke den Herres Jesu Legeme.

Og det skete, da de vare tvivlrådige om dette, se, da stode to Mænd for dem i strålende Klædebon.

Han er ikke her, men han er opstanden; kommer i Hu, hvorledes han talte til eder, medens han endnu var i Galilæa, og sagde,

Og de kom hans Ord i Hu.

Og de vendte tilbage fra Graven og kundgjorde alle disse Ting for de elleve og for alle de andre.

Men det var Maria Magdalene og Johanna og Maria, Jakobs Moder, og de øvrige Kvinder med dem; de sagde Apostlene disse Ting.

Og disse Ord kom dem for som løs Tale; og de troede dem ikke.

Men Peter stod op og løb til Graven; og da han kiggede derind ser han Linklæderne alene liggende der, og han gik hjem i Undren over det, som var sket.

Og se, to af dem vandrede på den samme Dag til en Landsby, som lå tresindstyve Stadier fra Jerusalem, dens Navn var Emmaus.

Og de talte med hinanden om alle disse Ting, som vare skete.

Og det skete, medens de samtalede og spurgte hinanden indbyrdes, da kom Jesus selv nær og vandrede med dem.

Men deres Øjne holdtes til, så de ikke kendte ham.

og hvorledes Ypperstepræsterne og vore Rådsherrer have overgivet ham til Dødsdom og korsfæstet ham.

Men vi håbede, at han var den, som skulde forløse Israel. Men med alt dette er det i Dag den tredje Dag, siden dette skete.

Men også nogle af vore Kvinder have forfærdet os, idet de kom årle til Graven,

og da de ikke fandt hans Legeme, kom de og sagde, at de havde også set et Syn af Engle, der sagde, at han lever.

Og han begyndte fra Moses og fra alle Profeterne og udlagde dem i alle Skrifterne det, som handlede om ham.

Og de nærmede sig til Landsbyen, som de gik til; og han lod, som han vilde gå videre.

Og det skete, da han havde sat sig med dem til Bords, tog han Brødet, velsignede og brød det og gav dem det.

Da bleve deres Øjne åbnede, og de kendte ham; og han blev usynlig for dem.

Og de stode op i den samme Time og vendte tilbage til Jerusalem og fandt forsamlede de elleve og dem, som vare med dem, hvilke sagde:

Herren er virkelig opstanden og set af Simon.

Og de fortalte, hvad der var sket på Vejen, og hvorledes han blev kendt af dem, idet han brød Brødet.

Da forskrækkedes de og betoges af Frygt og mente, at de så en Ånd.

Og da han havde sagt dette, viste han dem sine Hænder og sine Fødder.

Og de gave ham et Stykke af en stegt Fisk.

Og han tog det og spiste det for deres Øjne.

Da oplod han deres Forstand til at forstå Skrifterne.

og at der i hans Navn skal prædikes Omvendelse og Syndernes Forladelse for alle Folkeslagene og begyndes fra Jerusalem.

I ere Vidner om disse Ting.

Men han førte dem ud til hen imod Bethania, og han opløftede sine Hænder og velsignede dem.

Og det skete, idet han velsignede dem, skiltes han fra dem og opløftedes til Himmelen.

Og efter at have tilbedt ham vendte de tilbage til Jerusalem med stor Glæde.

Og de vare stedse i Helligdommen og priste Gud.

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.

And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.

And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:

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? {the living: or, him that liveth}

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

Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

And they remembered his words,

And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.

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.

And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.

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.

And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem {about} threescore furlongs.

And they talked together of all these things which had happened.

And it came to pass, that, while they communed {together} and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.

But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.

And he said unto them, What manner of communications {are} these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?

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?

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:

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

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.

Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;

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.

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.

Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:

Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?

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

And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.

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.

And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed {it}, and brake, and gave to them.

And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. {vanished...: or, ceased to be seen of them}

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?

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

Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.

And they told what things {were done} in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.

And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace {be} unto you.

But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.

And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?

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.

And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them {his} hands and {his} feet.

And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?

And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.

And he took {it}, and did eat before them.

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.

Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,

And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:

And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

And ye are witnesses of these things.

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.

And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.

And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.

And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:

And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
