2They found the stone rolled away from the tomb. 2And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
3They went in but did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.3And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
4While they were perplexed about this, suddenly two men stood by them in dazzling clothes. 4And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:

8And they remembered His words. 8And they remembered his words,
9Returning from the tomb, they reported all these things to the Eleven and to all the rest. 9And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.
10Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them were telling the apostles these things.10It 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.
11But these words seemed like nonsense to them, and they did not believe the women. 11And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.
12Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. When he stooped to look in, he saw only the linen cloths. So he went home, amazed at what had happened. 12Then 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.
13Now that same day two of them were on their way to a village called Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem.13And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.
14Together they were discussing everything that had taken place. 14And they talked together of all these things which had happened.
15And while they were discussing and arguing, Jesus Himself came near and began to walk along with them. 15And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.
16But they were prevented from recognizing Him.16But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.
17Then He asked them, "What is this dispute that you're having with each other as you are walking?" And they stopped walking and looked discouraged. 17And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?
18The one named Cleopas answered Him, "Are You the only visitor in Jerusalem who doesn't know the things that happened there in these days?" 18And 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?
19"What things?" He asked them. So they said to Him, "The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who was a Prophet powerful in action and speech before God and all the people,19And 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:

23and when they didn't find His body, they came and reported that they had seen a vision of angels who said He was alive. 23And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.
24Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they didn't see Him." 24And 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.
25He said to them, "How unwise and slow you are to believe in your hearts all that the prophets have spoken! 25Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:

31Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized Him, but He disappeared from their sight.31And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.
32So they said to each other, "Weren't our hearts ablaze within us while He was talking with us on the road and explaining the Scriptures to us?"32And 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?
33That very hour they got up and returned to Jerusalem. They found the Eleven and those with them gathered together, 33And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,
34who said, "The Lord has certainly been raised, and has appeared to Simon!"34Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
35Then they began to describe what had happened on the road and how He was made known to them in the breaking of the bread. 35And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.
36And as they were saying these things, He Himself stood among them. He said to them, "Peace to you!"36And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
37But they were startled and terrified and thought they were seeing a ghost. 37But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
38"Why are you troubled?" He asked them. "And why do doubts arise in your hearts? 38And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
39Look at My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself! Touch Me and see, because a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you can see I have."39Behold 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.
40Having said this, He showed them His hands and feet. 40And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.
41But while they still were amazed and unbelieving because of their joy, He asked them, "Do you have anything here to eat?"41And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?
42So they gave Him a piece of a broiled fish,42And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.
43and He took it and ate in their presence. 43And he took it, and did eat before them.
44Then He told them, "These are My words that I spoke to you while I was still with you--that everything written about Me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms must be fulfilled."44And 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.
45Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures. 45Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
46He also said to them, "This is what is written: The Messiah would suffer and rise from the dead the third day, 46And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
47and repentance for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in His name to all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 47And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48You are witnesses of these things.48And ye are witnesses of these things.
