[2] They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, [3] but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. [4] While they were puzzling over this, suddenly two men in radiant apparel stood beside them. [5] As the women bowed their faces to the ground in terror, the two men asked them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? [6] He is not here; He has risen! Remember how He told you while He was still in Galilee: [7] ‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’” [8] Then they remembered His words. [9] And when they returned from the tomb, they reported all these things to the Eleven and to all the others. [10] It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told this to the apostles. [11] But their words seemed like nonsense to them, and they did not believe the women. [12] Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. And after bending down and seeing only the linen cloths, he went away, wondering to himself what had happened. [13] That same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem. [14] They were talking with each other about everything that had happened. [15] And as they talked and deliberated, Jesus Himself came up and walked along with them. [16] But their eyes were kept from recognizing Him. [17] He asked them, “What are you discussing so intently as you walk along?” They stood still, with sadness on their faces. [18] One of them, named Cleopas, asked Him, “Are You the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in recent days?” [19] “What things?” He asked. “The events involving Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered. “This man was a prophet, powerful in speech and action before God and all the people. [20] Our chief priests and rulers delivered Him up to the sentence of death, and they crucified Him. [21] But we were hoping He was the One who would redeem Israel. And besides all this, it is the third day since these things took place. [22] Furthermore, some of our women astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning, [23] but they did not find His body. They came and told us they had seen a vision of angels, who said that Jesus was alive. [24] Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had described. But Him they did not see.” [25] Then Jesus said to them, “O foolish ones, how slow are your hearts to believe all that the prophets have spoken! [26] Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and then to enter His glory?” [27] And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was written in all the Scriptures about Himself. [28] As they approached the village where they were headed, He seemed to be going farther. [29] But they pleaded with Him, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening and the day is almost over.” So He went in to stay with them. [30] While He was reclining at the table with them, He took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to them. [31] Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Jesus—and He disappeared from their sight. [32] They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us as He spoke with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?” [33] And they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, gathered together [34] and saying, “The Lord has indeed risen and has appeared to Simon!” [35] Then the two told what had happened on the road, and how they had recognized Jesus in the breaking of the bread. [36] While they were describing these events, Jesus Himself stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” [37] But they were startled and frightened, thinking they had seen a spirit. [38] “Why are you troubled,” Jesus asked, “and why do doubts arise in your hearts? [39] Look at My hands and My feet. It is I Myself. Touch Me and see—for a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.” [40] And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and feet. [41] While they were still in disbelief because of their joy and amazement, He asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” [42] So they gave Him a piece of broiled fish, [43] and He took it and ate it in front of them. [44] Jesus said to them, “These are the words I spoke to you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about Me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms.” [45] Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures. [46] And He told them, “This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, [47] and in His name repentance and forgiveness of sins will be proclaimed to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem. [48] You are witnesses of these things. [49] And behold, I am sending the promise of My Father upon you. But remain in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.” [50] When Jesus had led them out as far as Bethany, He lifted up His hands and blessed them. [51] While He was blessing them, He left them and was carried up into heaven. [52] And they worshiped Him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy, [53] praising God continually in the temple. ## When - AD 30-33?
