1On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women came to the tomb, bringing the spices they had prepared.
2And they found the stone rolled back from the sepulchre.

3And going in, they found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
3but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
4And it came to pass, as they were astonished in their mind at this, behold, two men stood by them, in shining apparel.
4While they were puzzling over this, suddenly two men in radiant apparel stood beside them.
5And as they were afraid, and bowed down their countenance towards the ground, they said unto them: Why seek you the living with the dead?
5As the women bowed their faces to the ground in terror, the two men asked them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead?
6He is not here, but is risen. Remember how he spoke unto you, when he was in Galilee,
6He is not here; He has risen! Remember how He told you while He was still in Galilee:
7Saying: The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
7‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’”
8And they remembered his words.
8Then they remembered His words.
9And going back from the sepulchre, they told all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest.

10And it was Mary Magdalen, and Joanna, and Mary of James, and the other women that were with them, who told these things to the apostles.
10It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told this to the apostles.
11And these words seemed to them as idle tales; and they did not believe them.
11But their words seemed like nonsense to them, and they did not believe the women.
12But Peter rising up, ran to the sepulchre, and stooping down, he saw the linen cloths laid by themselves; and went away wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.

13And behold, two of them went, the same day, to a town which was sixty furlongs from Jerusalem, named Emmaus.
13That same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.
14And they talked together of all these things which had happened.
14They were talking with each other about everything that had happened.
15And it came to pass, that while they talked and reasoned with themselves, Jesus himself also drawing near, went with them.
15And as they talked and deliberated, Jesus Himself came up and walked along with them.
16But their eyes were held, that they should not know him.
16But their eyes were kept from recognizing Him.
17And he said to them: What are these discourses that you hold one with another as you walk, and are sad?
17He asked them, “What are you discussing so intently as you walk along?” They stood still, with sadness on their faces.
18And the one of them, whose name was Cleophas, answering, said to him: Art thou only a stranger to Jerusalem, and hast not known the things that have been done there in these days?
18One of them, named Cleopas, asked Him, “Are You the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in recent days?”
19To whom he said: What things? And they said: Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet, mighty in work and word before God and all the people;
19“What things?” He asked. “The events involving Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered. “This man was a prophet, powerful in speech and action before God and all the people.

22Yea and certain women also of our company affrighted us, who before it was light, were at the sepulchre,
22Furthermore, some of our women astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning,
23And not finding his body, came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, who say that he is alive.
23but they did not find His body. They came and told us they had seen a vision of angels, who said that Jesus was alive.
24And some of our people went to the sepulchre, and found it so as the women had said, but him they found not.
24Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had described. But Him they did not see.”
25Then he said to them: O foolish, and slow of heart to believe in all things which the prophets have spoken.
25Then Jesus said to them, “O foolish ones, how slow are your hearts to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

30And it came to pass, whilst he was at table with them, he took bread, and blessed, and brake, and gave to them.
30While He was reclining at the table with them, He took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to them.
31And their eyes were opened, and they knew him: and he vanished out of their sight.
31Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Jesus—and He disappeared from their sight.
32And they said one to the other: Was not our heart burning within us, whilst he spoke in this way, and opened to us the scriptures?
32They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us as He spoke with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”
33And rising up, the same hour, they went back to Jerusalem: and they found the eleven gathered together, and those that were staying with them,
33And they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, gathered together
34Saying: The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
34and saying, “The Lord has indeed risen and has appeared to Simon!”

37But they being troubled and frightened, supposed that they saw a spirit.
37But they were startled and frightened, thinking they had seen a spirit.
38And he said to them: Why are you troubled, and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
38“Why are you troubled,” Jesus asked, “and why do doubts arise in your hearts?
39See my hands and feet, that it is I myself; handle, and see: for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as you see me to have.
39Look at My hands and My feet. It is I Myself. Touch Me and see—for a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”
40And when he had said this, he shewed them his hands and feet.
40And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and feet.
41But while they yet believed not, and wondered for joy, he said: Have you any thing to eat?
41While they were still in disbelief because of their joy and amazement, He asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”
42And they offered him a piece of a broiled fish, and a honeycomb.
42So they gave Him a piece of broiled fish,
43And when he had eaten before them, taking the remains, he gave to them.
43and He took it and ate it in front of them.
44And he said to them: These are the words which I spoke to you, while I was yet with you, that all things must needs be fulfilled, which are written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
44Jesus said to them, “These are the words I spoke to you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about Me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms.”
45Then he opened their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures.
45Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.
46And he said to them: Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise again from the dead, the third day:
46And He told them, “This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,
47And that penance and remission of sins should be preached in his name, unto all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
47and in His name repentance and forgiveness of sins will be proclaimed to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem.
48And you are witnesses of these things.
48You are witnesses of these things.
49And I send the promise of my Father upon you: but stay you in the city till you be endued with power from on high.
49And behold, I am sending the promise of My Father upon you. But remain in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”
50And he led them out as far as Bethania: and lifting up his hands, he blessed them.
50When Jesus had led them out as far as Bethany, He lifted up His hands and blessed them.
51And it came to pass, whilst he blessed them, he departed from them, and was carried up to heaven.
51While He was blessing them, He left them and was carried up into heaven.
