Gospel according to Luke

But we were hoping that it was he who would redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened.

Also, certain women of our company amazed us, having arrived early at the tomb;

and when they didn't find his body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.

Some of us went to the tomb, and found it just like the women had said, but they didn't see him."

He said to them, "Foolish men, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!

Didn't the Christ have to suffer these things and to enter into his glory?"

Beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.

They drew near to the village, where they were going, and he acted like he would go further.

They urged him, saying, "Stay with us, for it is almost evening, and the day is almost over." He went in to stay with them.

It happened, that when he had sat down at the table with them, he took the bread and gave thanks. Breaking it, he gave to them.

Their eyes were opened, and they recognized him, and he vanished out of their sight.

They said one to another, "Weren't our hearts burning within us, while he spoke to us along the way, and while he opened the Scriptures to us?"

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

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

They related the things that happened along the way, and how he was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.

As they said these things, Jesus himself stood among them, and said to them, "Peace be to you."

But they were terrified and filled with fear, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.

He said to them, "Why are you troubled? Why do doubts arise in your hearts?

See my hands and my feet, that it is truly me. Touch me and see, for a spirit doesn't have flesh and bones, as you see that I have."

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