Luke 23: 33 And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.
34
Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they
do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
35
And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided
him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ,
the chosen of God.
36
And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him
vinegar,
37
And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.
38
And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek,
and Latin, and Hebrew, This
Is The King Of The Jews.
39
And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying,
If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.
40
But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God,
seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
41
And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but
this man hath done nothing amiss.
42
And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy
kingdom.
43
And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be
with me in paradise.
44
And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all
the earth until the ninth hour.
45
And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the
midst.
46
And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy
hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the
ghost.
47
Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying,
Certainly this was a righteous man.
48
And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the
things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned.
49
And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from
Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.
50
And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and he was a
good man, and a just:
51
(The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was
of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the
kingdom of God.
52
This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
53
And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a
sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.
54
And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.
55
And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after,
and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.
56
And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the
sabbath day according to the commandment.
Luke 24: 1 On 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.
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 Magdalene 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.
13
And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called
Emmaus, 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 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
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, to day 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.
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 shewed 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 an 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, and to rise from the dead the third day:
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.
We are witnesses of these things. He is risen!
