Scriptures

New Living Translation (NLT)

Luke 24
²² “Then some women from our group of his followers were at his tomb early this morning, and they came back with an amazing report.
²³ They said his body was missing, and they had seen angels who told them Jesus is alive!
²⁴ Some of our men ran out to see, and sure enough, his body was gone, just as the women had said.”
²⁵ Then Jesus said to them, “You foolish people! You find it so hard to believe all that the prophets wrote in the Scriptures.
²⁶ Wasn’t it clearly predicted that the Messiah would have to suffer all these things before entering his glory?”
²⁷ Then Jesus took them through the writings of Moses and all the prophets, explaining from all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.
²⁸ By this time they were nearing Emmaus and the end of their journey. Jesus acted as if he were going on,
²⁹ but they begged him, “Stay the night with us, since it is getting late.” So he went home with them.
³⁰ As they sat down to eat, he took the bread and blessed it. Then he broke it and gave it to them.
³¹ Suddenly, their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And at that moment he disappeared!
³² They said to each other, “Didn’t our hearts burn within us as he talked with us on the road and explained the Scriptures to us?”
