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."

Now behold, that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.

and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Handle me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have."

And beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he explained to them the things concerning himself in all the scriptures.

As they were saying this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you."

And he said to them, "Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and rise again from the dead the third day,

And he said to them, "O foolish men, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

Then he opened their minds, so they could understand the Scriptures.

And they said to each other, "Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked with us on the road, while he opened to us the scriptures?"

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

As they drew near the village to which they were going, he acted as though he would be going farther,

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.

'The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.'"

Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him; and he vanished from their sight.

But they were startled and frightened, and supposed that they saw a spirit.

You are witnesses of these things.

and he took it and ate in their presence.

When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.

Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread.

And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb,

While he blessed them, he parted from them, and was carried up into heaven.

saying, "The Lord has risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!"

It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them, who told this to the apostles.

And while they still did not believe for joy, and marveled, he said to them, "Have you anything here to eat?"

Did not the Christ have to suffer these things and enter his glory?"

While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel.

But Peter arose and ran to the tomb; and stooping down, he saw the linen wrappings lying by themselves; and he went away, marveling to himself at what had happened.

They gave him a piece of broiled fish,

When he was at the table with them, he took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them.

He is not here, but is risen! Remember how he told you while he was still in Galilee,

And as they were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, "Why do you seek the living among the dead?

Then they returned from the tomb and told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.

But their words seemed to them like idle tales, and they did not believe them.

So they rose up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and they found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together,

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."

Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered him, "Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem and do not know the things that have happened there in these days?"
