The Gospel according toSt. Luke
St. Luke 24
The Resurrection | |
Mt. 28.1-10 · Mk. 16.1-8 · Joh. 20.1-10 | |
1 |
Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. |
2 |
And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. |
3 |
And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. |
4 |
And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: |
5 |
and as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? |
6 |
He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, |
7 |
saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. Mt. 16.21 ; 17.22, 23 ; 20.18, 19 · Mk. 8.31 ; 9.31 ; 10.33, 34 · Lk. 9.22 ; 18.31-33 |
8 |
And they remembered his words, |
9 |
and returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest. |
10 |
It was Mary Mag’dalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles. |
11 |
And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not. |
12 |
Then 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. |
The Walk to Emmaus | |
Mk. 16.12, 13 | |
13 |
¶ And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emma’us, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs. |
14 |
And they talked together of all these things which had happened. |
15 |
And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them. |
16 |
But their eyes were holden that they should not know him. |
17 |
And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad? |
18 |
And the one of them, whose name was Cle’opas, 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 |
And 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: |
20 |
and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him. |
21 |
But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, today is the third day since these things were done. |
22 |
Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre; |
23 |
and when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive. |
24 |
And 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. |
25 |
Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: |
26 |
ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? |
27 |
And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself. |
28 |
¶ And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further. |
29 |
But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us; for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them. |
30 |
And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. |
31 |
And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. |
32 |
And 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? |
33 |
And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them, |
34 |
saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon. |
35 |
And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread. |
Jesus Appears to His Disciples | |
Mt. 28.16-20 · Mk. 16.14-18 · Joh. 20.19-23 | |
36 |
¶ And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. |
37 |
But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit. |
38 |
And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? |
39 |
Behold 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. |
40 |
And when he had thus spoken, he showed them his hands and his feet. |
41 |
And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat? |
42 |
And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of a honeycomb. |
43 |
And he took it, and did eat before them. |
44 |
¶ And 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. |
45 |
Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the Scriptures, |
46 |
and said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, Is. 53.1-12 and to rise from the dead the third day: Hos. 6.2 |
47 |
and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. |
48 |
And ye are witnesses of these things. |
49 |
And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: Acts 1.4 but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high. |
The Ascension | |
Mk. 16.19, 20 | |
50 |
¶ And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. |
51 |
And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven. Acts 1.9-11 |
52 |
And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy: |
53 |
and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen. |
