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 to 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, where man was never before laid.
54 And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.
55 And the women also, who 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 on the sabbath according to the commandment.
CHAP. 24.
Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came to 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 about this, 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 to them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? [1]
6 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spoke to 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 to 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, who told these things to the apostles.
11 And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.
12 Then Peter arose, and ran to the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which had come to pass.
13 And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about sixty 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 restrained that they should not know him.
17 And he said to them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?
18 And one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said to him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which have come to pass there in these days?
19 And he said to them, What things? And they said to him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who 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 crucified him.
21 But we hoped that it had been he who should have redeemed Israel: and besides 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, who 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, who said that he was alive.
24 And certain of them who 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 to them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
26 Ought not Christ to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory?
27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
28 And they drew near to the village, where they were going: and he made as though he would go 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 eating with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and broke, and gave to them.
31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. [2]
32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he
