24

And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.

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:

And 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?

And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?

But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.

And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.

And they talked together of all these things which had happened.

And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.

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.

And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.

It 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.

And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.

And they remembered his words,

Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,

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?

And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:

And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.

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.

And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;

But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;

Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.

Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
