1 But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices which they had prepared.
2 And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb,
3 but when they went in they did not find the body.
4 While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel;
5 and as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, "Why do you seek the living among the dead?
6 Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee,
7 that the Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise."
8 And they remembered his words,
9 and returning from the tomb they told all this to the eleven and to all the rest.
10 Now it was Mary Mag'dalene and Jo-an'na and Mary the mother of James and the other women with them who told this to the apostles;
11 but these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them.
12 That very day two of them were going to a village named Emma'us, about seven miles from Jerusalem,
13 and talking with each other about all these things that had happened.
14 While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus himself drew near and went with them.
15 But their eyes were kept from recognizing him.
16 And he said to them, "What is this conversation which you are holding with each other as you walk?" And they stood still, looking sad.
17 Then one of them, named Cle'opas, answered him, "Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?"
18 And he said to them, "What things?" And they said to him, "Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people,
19 and how our chief priests and rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him.
20 But we had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since this happened.
21 Moreover, some women of our company amazed us. They were at the tomb early in the morning
22 and did not find his body; and they came back saying that they had even seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.
23 Some of those who were with us went to the tomb, and found it just as the women had said; but him they did not see."
24 And he said to them, "O foolish men, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!
25 Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?"
26 And beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
27 So they drew near to the village to which they were going. He appeared to be going further,
28 but they constrained him, saying, "Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the day is now far spent." So he went in to stay with them.
29 When he was at table with them, he took the bread and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them.
30 And their eyes were opened and they recognized him; and he vanished out of their sight.
31 They said to each other, "Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the scriptures?"
32 And they rose that same hour and returned to Jerusalem; and they found the eleven gathered together and those who were with them,
33 who said, "The Lord has risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!"
34 Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread.
35 As they were saying this, Jesus himself stood among them.
36 But they were startled and frightened, and supposed that they saw a spirit.
37 And he said to them, "Why are you troubled, and why do questionings rise in your hearts?
38 See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself; handle me, and see; for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see that I have."
39 And while they still disbelieved for joy, and wondered, he said to them, "Have you anything here to eat?"
40 They gave him a piece of broiled fish,
41 and he took it and ate before them.
42 Then he said to them, "These are my words which I spoke to you, while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms must be fulfilled."
43 Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures,
44 and said to them, "Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead,
45 and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
46 You are witnesses of these things.
47 And behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you; but stay in the city, until you are clothed with power from on high."
48 Then he led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands he blessed them.
49 While he blessed them, he parted from them, and was carried up into heaven.
50 And they returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
51 and were continually in the temple blessing God.
1 τη δε μια των σαββατων ορθρου βαθεος ηλθον επι το μνημα φερουσαι α ητοιμασαν αρωματα και τινες συν αυταις
2 ευρον δε τον λιθον αποκεκυλισμενον απο του μνημειου
3 και εισελθουσαι ουχ ευρον το σωμα του κυριου ιησου
4 και εγενετο εν τω διαπορεισθαι αυτας περι τουτου και ιδου δυο ανδρες επεστησαν αυταις εν εσθησεσιν αστραπτουσαις
5 εμφοβων δε γενομενων αυτων και κλινουσων το προσωπον εις την γην ειπον προς αυτας τι ζητειτε τον ζωντα μετα των νεκρων
6 ουκ εστιν ωδε αλλ ηγερθη μνησθητε ως ελαλησεν υμιν ετι ων εν τη γαλιλαια
7 λεγων οτι δει τον υιον του ανθρωπου παραδοθηναι εις χειρας ανθρωπων αμαρτωλων και σταυρωθηναι και τη τριτη ημερα αναστηναι
8 και εμνησθησαν των ρηματων αυτου
9 και υποστρεψασαι απο του μνημειου απηγγειλαν ταυτα παντα τοις ενδεκα και πασιν τοις λοιποις
10 ησαν δε η μαγδαληνη μαρια και ιωαννα και μαρια ιακωβου και αι λοιπαι συν αυταις αι ελεγον προς τους αποστολους ταυτα
11 και εφανησαν ενωπιον αυτων ωσει ληρος τα ρηματα αυτων και ηπιστουν αυταις
12 ο δε πετρος αναστας εδραμεν επι το μνημειον και παρακυψας βλεπει τα οθονια κειμενα μονα και απηλθεν προς εαυτον θαυμαζων το γεγονος
13 και ιδου δυο εξ αυτων ησαν πορευομενοι εν αυτη τη ημερα εις κωμην απεχουσαν σταδιους εξηκοντα απο ιερουσαλημ η ονομα εμμαους
14 και αυτοι ωμιλουν προς αλληλους περι παντων των συμβεβηκοτων τουτων
15 και εγενετο εν τω ομιλειν αυτους και συζητειν και αυτος ο ιησους εγγισας συνεπορευετο αυτοις
16 οι δε οφθαλμοι αυτων εκρατουντο του μη επιγνωναι αυτον
17 ειπεν δε προς αυτους τινες οι λογοι ουτοι ους αντιβαλλετε προς αλληλους περιπατουντες και εστε σκυθρωποι
18 αποκριθεις δε ο εις ω ονομα κλεοπας ειπεν προς αυτον συ μονος παροικεις εν ιερουσαλημ και ουκ εγνως τα γενομενα εν αυτη εν ταις ημεραις ταυταις
19 και ειπεν αυτοις ποια οι δε ειπον αυτω τα περι ιησου του ναζωραιου ος εγενετο ανηρ προφητης δυνατος εν εργω και λογω εναντιον του θεου και παντος του λαου
20 οπως τε παρεδωκαν αυτον οι αρχιερεις και οι αρχοντες ημων εις κριμα θανατου και εσταυρωσαν αυτον
21 ημεις δε ηλπιζομεν οτι αυτος εστιν ο μελλων λυτρουσθαι τον ισραηλ αλλα γε συν πασιν τουτοις τριτην ταυτην ημεραν αγει σημερον αφ ου ταυτα εγενετο
22 αλλα και γυναικες τινες εξ ημων εξεστησαν ημας γενομεναι ορθριαι επι το μνημειον
23 και μη ευρουσαι το σωμα αυτου ηλθον λεγουσαι και οπτασιαν αγγελων εωρακεναι οι λεγουσιν αυτον ζην
24 και απηλθον τινες των συν ημιν επι το μνημειον και ευρον ουτως καθως και αι γυναικες ειπον αυτον δε ουκ ειδον
25 και αυτος ειπεν προς αυτους ω ανοητοι και βραδεις τη καρδια του πιστευειν επι πασιν οις ελαλησαν οι προφηται
26 ουχι ταυτα εδει παθειν τον χριστον και εισελθειν εις την δοξαν αυτου
27 και αρξαμενος απο μωσεως και απο παντων των προφητων διηρμηνευεν αυτοις εν πασαις ταις γραφαις τα περι εαυτου
28 και ηγγισαν εις την κωμην ου επορευοντο και αυτος προσεποιειτο πορρωτερω πορευεσθαι
29 και παρεβιασαντο αυτον λεγοντες μεινον μεθ ημων οτι προς εσπεραν εστιν και κεκλικεν η ημερα και εισηλθεν του μειναι συν αυτοις
30 και εγενετο εν τω κατακλιθηναι αυτον μετ αυτων λαβων τον αρτον ευλογησεν και κλασας επεδιδου αυτοις
31 αυτων δε διηνοιχθησαν οι οφθαλμοι και επεγνωσαν αυτον και αυτος αφαντος εγενετο απ αυτων
32 και ειπον προς αλληλους ουχι η καρδια ημων καιομενη ην εν ημιν ως ελαλει ημιν εν τη οδω και ως διηνοιγεν ημιν τας γραφας
33 και ανασταντες αυτη τη ωρα υπεστρεψαν εις ιερουσαλημ και ευρον συνηθροισμενους τους ενδεκα και τους συν αυτοις
34 λεγοντας οτι ηγερθη ο κυριος οντως και ωφθη σιμωνι
35 και αυτοι εξηγουντο τα εν τη οδω και ως εγνωσθη αυτοις εν τη κλασει του αρτου
36 ταυτα δε αυτων λαλουντων αυτος ο ιησους εστη εν μεσω αυτων και λεγει αυτοις ειρηνη υμιν
37 πτοηθεντες δε και εμφοβοι γενομενοι εδοκουν πνευμα θεωρειν
38 και ειπεν αυτοις τι τεταραγμενοι εστε και δια τι διαλογισμοι αναβαινουσιν εν ταις καρδιαις υμων
39 ιδετε τας χειρας μου και τους ποδας μου οτι αυτος εγω ειμι ψηλαφησατε με και ιδετε οτι πνευμα σαρκα και οστεα ουκ εχει καθως εμε θεωρειτε εχοντα
40 και τουτο ειπων επεδειξεν αυτοις τας χειρας και τους ποδας
41 ετι δε απιστουντων αυτων απο της χαρας και θαυμαζοντων ειπεν αυτοις εχετε τι βρωσιμον ενθαδε
42 οι δε επεδωκαν αυτω ιχθυος οπτου μερος και απο μελισσιου κηριου
43 και λαβων ενωπιον αυτων εφαγεν
44 ειπεν δε αυτοις ουτοι οι λογοι ους ελαλησα προς υμας ετι ων συν υμιν οτι δει πληρωθηναι παντα τα γεγραμμενα εν τω νομω μωσεως και προφηταις και ψαλμοις περι εμου
45 τοτε διηνοιξεν αυτων τον νουν του συνιεναι τας γραφας
46 και ειπεν αυτοις οτι ουτως γεγραπται και ουτως εδει παθειν τον χριστον και αναστηναι εκ νεκρων τη τριτη ημερα
47 και κηρυχθηναι επι τω ονοματι αυτου μετανοιαν και αφεσιν αμαρτιων εις παντα τα εθνη αρξαμενον απο ιερουσαλημ
48 υμεις δε εστε μαρτυρες τουτων
49 και ιδου εγω αποστελλω την επαγγελιαν του πατρος μου εφ υμας υμεις δε καθισατε εν τη πολει ιερουσαλημ εως ου ενδυσησθε δυναμιν εξ υψους
50 εξηγαγεν δε αυτους εξω εως εις βηθανιαν και επαρας τας χειρας αυτου ευλογησεν αυτους
51 και εγενετο εν τω ευλογειν αυτον αυτους διεστη απ αυτων και ανεφερετο εις τον ουρανον
52 και αυτοι προσκυνησαντες αυτον υπεστρεψαν εις ιερουσαλημ μετα χαρας μεγαλης
53 και ησαν διαπαντος εν τω ιερω αινουντες και ευλογουντες τον θεον αμην
