The Scriptures 1998

Luke 24:18-37 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

18. And the one whose name was Qleophas answering, said to Him, “Are You the lone visitor in Yerushalayim who does not know what took place in it these days?”

19. And He said to them, “What?” And they said to Him, “Concerning יהושע of Natsareth, who was a Prophet mighty in deed and word before Elohim and all the people,

20. and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered Him to be condemned to death, and impaled Him.

21. “We, however, were expecting that it was He who was going to redeem Yisra’ĕl. But besides all this, today is the third day since these matters took place.

22. “But certain women of ours, who arrived at the tomb early, also astonished us,

23. when they did not find His body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of messengers who said He was alive.

24. “And some of those with us went to the tomb and found it, as also the women had said, but they did not see Him.”

25. And He said to them, “O thoughtless ones, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!

26. “Was it not necessary for the Messiah to suffer these and to enter into His esteem?”

27. And beginning at Mosheh and all the Prophets, He was explaining to them in all the Scriptures the matters concerning Himself.

28. And they approached the village where they were going, and He seemed to be going on.

29. But they urged Him strongly, saying, “Stay with us, for it is toward evening, and the day has declined.” And He went in to stay with them.

30. And it came to be, when He sat at the table with them, having taken the bread, He blessed, and having broken, He was giving it to them.

31. And their eyes were opened and they recognised Him. And He disappeared from their sight.

32. And they said to each other, “Was not our heart burning within us as He was speaking to us on the way, and as He was opening the Scriptures to us?”

33. And rising up that same hour they returned to Yerushalayim, and found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together,

34. saying, “The Master was truly raised, and has appeared to Shim‛on!”

35. And they related what took place on the way, and how He was recognised by them in the breaking of the bread.

36. And as they were saying this, יהושע Himself stood in the midst of them, and said to them, “Peace to you.”

37. And being startled and frightened, they thought they had seen a spirit.
