OET LUKE chapter 24

Literal Version

24 but as soon as it dawned on Sunday morning, they went back to the tomb taking the prepared spices. 2 There they discovered that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance 3 and when they went in, the body of the master Yeshua wasn’t there. 4 While they were still there puzzling about what might have happened, two men in dazzling clothes approached them. 5 The women were scared, and knelt down and bowed with their faces close to the ground, but the men asked them, “Why are you looking for the living in the place of the dead? 6 [ref]He’s not here—he’s been brought back to life. Remember how he spoke to you all when you were still in Galilee 7 and he said, ‘It’s necessary that humanity’s child is handed over to sinful people, and to be executed on a stake, and then to come back to life on the third day.’ ” 8 Then indeed they remembered his words.

9 Then they left the tomb and went back into the city and reported all this to the eleven apprentices and all the others. 10 (The women who told this to the missionaries were Maria from Magdala, Yoanna, Maria the mother of Yacob, and the other women who were with them.) 11 However those who heard it, thought it was all just nonsense and didn’t believe them. 12 But Peter stood up and ran off to the tomb, and when he stooped down to look in, he could only see the linen cloths, so he wandered off by himself, wondering what could have happened.

24 But on _the first day of _the week, early dawn, they _came to the tomb, bringing spices which they _prepared.
2 And they _found the stone having _been _rolled _away from the tomb.
3 But having _come _in, they_ not _found the body of _the master Yaʸsous.
4 And it _became at the time them to _be _perplexing about this, and see, two men approached to _them in flashing clothing.
5 And them having _become frightened, and bowing their faces to the ground, they _said to them:
Why are _you _all _seeking the_ living _one with the dead?
6 He _is not here, but he _was _raised.
Be _reminded how he _spoke to _you _all, still being in the Galilaia/(Gālīl) 7 saying:
The son of_ the _man that it _is _fitting to _be _given _over into hands of_ sinful _people, and to _be _executed _on _a _stake, and on _the third day to _rise _up.
8 And they _were _reminded of _the messages of _him.
9 And having _returned from the tomb, they _reported all these things to _the eleven, and to _all the rest.
10 And they _were the from _Magdala Maria/(Miryām), and Yōanna, and Maria the mother of_Yakōbos/(Yaˊₐqoⱱ), and the rest with them, who _were _telling these things to the ambassadors.
11 And the these messages were _seen before them as _if nonsense, and they _were _disbelieving to _them.
12 But the Petros having _risen _up, ran to the tomb, and having _stooped _down, is _seeing only the linen _cloths, and he _went _away to himself, wondering at _the thing having _become.

24:13 Yeshua joins the walkers to Emmaus

(Mark 16:12-13)

13 Then, wow, two of Yeshua’s followers were walking to the village of Emmaus about eleven kilometres away from Yerushalem, 14 and they were discussing with each other about all the recent events. 15 After talking and debating for a while, Yeshua caught up with them and joined them, 16 but their eyes were restricted from being able to recognise him. 17 He asked them, “What’s all this that you two are talking about while you walk?”

They stopped suddenly and looked at him with sad faces, 18 and the one called Cleopas asked him, “Are you the only visitor staying in Yerushalem who doesn’t know what just happened in the last few days?”

19 “What happened?” he asked.

“What happened to the man, Yeshua from Nazareth,” they answered. “He was a prophet who did powerful miracles and delivered a powerful message in front of God and all the people. 20 The chief priests and our rulers handed him over to be sentenced to death, and he was executed on a stake. 21 We were hoping that he was going to be the one who would release Israel from the grip of the Romans, but all that happened three days ago now. 22 Then some of our women also surprised us, because they went to his tomb very early this morning 23 but they couldn’t find his body. Then they came back and told us about some vision about messengers from God who apparently said that he’s alive. 24 Some of our companions went out to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they didn’t see anyone.”

25 “Oh, you’re so foolish,” he told them, “and your hearts are so reluctant to believe everything that the prophets wrote. 26 Didn’t the messiah need to suffer all of that in order to be able to enter into all his greatness?” 27 Then starting with Mosheh and going through all the prophets, he explained the scriptures to them concerning what had been written about him there.

28 As they got close to the village they were going to, he seemed to be going on further 29 but they urged him, “Come and stay with us because it’s almost evening and there’s not much daylight left.” 30 Then when they were ready to eat, he picked up the bread and blessed it, and then he broke it and handed it out to them, 31 and then their eyes were opened and they recognised him. Just then he vanished, 32 and they said to each other, “Weren’t our hearts burning when he was speaking to us on the road and explaining the scriptures to us?”

33 That very hour they packed up and headed back to Yerushalem where they found that the eleven and the others with them had gathered together 34 saying, “The master really has come back to life—he was seen by Simon Peter!”

35 Then the two explained what had happened on the road and how they’d recognised them when he broke the bread.

13 And see, two of them at same the day were going to a_village being_ sixty stadiums _away from Hierousalaʸm/(Yərūshālayim), to _whose name is Emmaous.
14 And they were _conversing with one _another about all these things which having _happened.
15 And it _became at the time, them to _be _conversing and to _be _debating, and Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) himself having _neared, was _going _with with _them.
16 But the eyes of _them were _being _restrained which to_ not _know him.
17 And he _said to them:
What _all are the these messages that you _all _are _exchanging with one _another walking?
And they _were _stood still downthrow.
18 And the_one by_the_name Kleopas answering said to him, are_ you only _sojourning to _Hierousalaʸm and you_ not _knew the things having _become in it in the these days?
19 And he _said to _them:
What things?
And they said to _him:
The things concerning Yaʸsous the Nazaraʸnos, who became a_man, a_prophet, powerful in work and message, before the god and all the people, 20 and so _that the chief _priests and the rulers of _us gave_ him _over, to judgment of _death, and they _executed _on _a _stake him.
21 But we were _hoping that he is the one going to _be _redeeming the Israaʸl/(Yisrā^ʼēl).
But surely also with all these things, it _is _coming this third day, from which these things became.
22 But also some women from us, amazed us, having _become early to the tomb 23 and not having _found the body of _him, came saying also to _have _seen a_vision of _messengers, who are _saying him to _be _living.
24 And some of _the ones with us went _away to the tomb, and they _found it thus, as the women said, but they_ not _saw him.
25 And he said to them:
Oh foolish and slow the in _heart, which to _be _believing in all things that the prophets spoke.
26 Not was _it _fitting the chosen _one /messiah to _suffer these things and to _come _in into the glory of _him?
27 And having _begun from Mōsaʸs/(Mosheh) and from all the prophets, he _interpreted all the scriptures to _them in the things concerning himself.
28 And they _neared to the village where they _were _going, and he seemed to _be _going farther _away.
29 And they _urged him saying:
Remain with us, because it _is toward evening, and the day has_ now _declined.
And he _came _in which to _remain with them.
30 And it _became at the time him to _be _reclining with them, having _taken the bread, he _blessed it and having _broke it, was _handing _out it to _them.
31 And the eyes them were _opened _up, and they _recognized him.
And he became vanished from them.
32 And they _said to one _another:
Not the heart of _us being _burned was as he _was _speaking with _us on the road, as he _was _opening _up the scriptures to _us?
33 And having _risen _up to_the_same the hour, they _returned to Hierousalaʸm/(Yərūshālayim), and they _found the eleven and the ones with them having _been _gathered 34 saying, that The master really was _raised, and was _seen to _Simōn.
35 And they were _explaining the things on the road, and how he _was _known to _them in the breaking of _the bread.

24:36 The showing of Yeshua of followers din

(Yhn 20:19-23, Mark 16:14-18, Mat. 28:16-20, Acts 1:6-8)

36 As they were still talking about these things, Yeshua himself suddenly was there standing in the room and greeted them, “Peace to you all.”

37 However, they got a fright, and then were terrified thinking that it was a spirit. 38 Then he spoke to them again, “Why are you all upset, and why are you thinking such stuff? 39 Look at my hands and feet and you’ll see that it’s me. Touch me and look, because spirits don’t have solid bodies like you can see that I have.”

40 Then he showed them his hands and his feet. 41 Some of them, still not believing, had a mixture of happiness and doubt, and he asked them, “Have you got anything here to eat?” 42 They handed him a piece of broiled fish, 43 and he took it and ate it in front of them.

44 Then he told them, “While I was still with you all, I told you those messages of mine, and how that everything written about me by Mosheh and the prophets and in the songs, it’s all going to be fulfilled.” 45 Then he opened their minds to be able to understand the scriptures, and he told them, 46 “It was written that the messiah would suffer and to come back to life on the third day, 47 and that his name will be proclaimed as the authority to forgive the sins of the people when they repent—people from every country beginning here in Yerushalem. 48 You all are witnesses of all that. 49 [ref]Soon I’ll be sending out the one that my father promised to you all, but meanwhile you must remain here in the city until you all get clothed in power that comes from heaven.”

36 And of _them speaking these things, himself stood in midst of _them and is _saying to _them:
Peace to _you _all.
37 but having _been _terrified and having _become frightened, they _were _supposing to _be _observing a_spirit.
38 And he _said to _them:
Why are _you _all having _been _disturbed, and for _reason why are_ speculations _going _up in the heart of _you _all?
39 See the hands of _me and the feet of _me that I am he.
Touch me and see, because a_spirit is_ not _having flesh and bones, as you _all _are _observing me having.
40 And having _said this, he _showed his hands and his feet to _them.
41 And still of _them disbelieving for the joy and wondering, he _said to _them:
You _all _are _having any edible thing here?
42 And they handed _out to _him part of_a_ broiled _fish.
43 And having _taken it, he _ate before of _them.
44 And he _said to them:
These are the messages of _me, which I _spoke to you _all still being with you _all, that it _is _fitting to _be _fulfilled all the things having _been _written in the law of _Mōsaʸs/(Mosheh), and the prophets, and psalms, concerning me.
45 Then he _opened _up the mind of _them which to _be _understanding the scriptures.
And he _said to _them, 46 that Thus it _has _been _written, the chosen _one /messiah to _suffer, and to _rise _up from the_dead on _the third day, 47 and the name of _him to _be _proclaimed in repentance for forgiveness of _sins to all the nations, having _begun from Hierousalaʸm/(Yərūshālayim).
48 You _all are witnesses of _these things.
49 And see I am _sending _out the promise of _the father of _me on you _all, but you _all sit _down in the city, until of _which you _all _may _dress _in power from of _height.

24:50 Yeshua is lifted up into the sky

(Mark 16:19-20, Acts 1:9-11)

50 [ref]Then Yeshua led them out of the city as far as Bethania where he lifted up his arms and blessed them. 51 While he was still blessing them, he passed over the top of them and was lifted up into the sky. 52 They lay face-down on the ground in worship of him, then got up and feeling very happy, they returned to Yerushalem 53 where they went into the temple and praised God about everything.

24:6-7: Mrk 8:31; 9:31; 10:33-34; Mat 16:21; 17:22-23; 20:18-19; Luk 9:22; 18:31-33.

24:49: Acts 1:4.

24:50-51: Acts 1:9-11.

50 And he _led_ them _out as _far _as to Baʸthania, and having _lifted _up the hands of _him, he _blessed them.
51 And it _became at the time of _him to _be _blessing to _them, he _passed _by from them, and he _was _being _brought _up into the sky.
52 And they having _prostrated before _him, returned to Hierousalaʸm with great joy.
53 And they _were in the temple blessing the god through everything.

Jerusalem during the New Testament

By the time of the New Testament, the ancient city of Jerusalem had been transformed from the relatively small fortress of David’s day (2 Samuel 5:6-10; 1 Chronicles 11:4-9) into a major city with a Temple that rivaled the greatest temples in the Roman world. Just prior to Jesus’ birth, Herod the Great completely renovated and expanded the Temple of the Lord, and he also built a lavish palace for himself, various pools (where Jesus occasionally performed healings), public buildings, and military citadels, including the Antonia Fortress, which overlooked the Temple. Wealthy residents, including the high priest, occupied extravagant houses in the Upper City, while the poorer residents were relegated to less desirable areas like the Lower City. The Essene Quarter was so named because many of its residents belonged to the Essenes, a strict religious sect that was known for its careful attention to the law of Moses. Across the Kidron Valley lay the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus often met with his disciples (Matthew 26:36-46; Mark 14:32-53; John 18:1-14). Further east was the Mount of Olives, where Jesus began his triumphal entry one week before his crucifixion (Matthew 21:1-11; Mark 11:1-11; Luke 19:28-40; John 12:12-19), taught his disciples about the last days (Matthew 24-25; Mark 13), and eventually ascended to heaven after his resurrection (Luke 24:50-53; Acts 1:1-11).

Jesus’ Post-Resurrection Appearances

On the Friday of Passover, Jesus was crucified and his body was placed in a tomb, but early Sunday morning he was raised to life again through the power of the Holy Spirit! After this he appeared to many believers over a period of forty days until he ascended into heaven (Acts 1:1-4), although it is difficult to know in what order all these events occurred. The first believers to see the risen Jesus were women, including Mary Magdalene, who had gone that morning to finish preparing Jesus’ body with spices. Later that same day (Sunday) Jesus also appeared to two disciples traveling from Jerusalem to a town called Emmaus about seven miles away (Luke 24:13-36), likely at el-Qubeiba (see “The Battle at the Pool of Gibeon” map). Still later that day when the two disciples had returned to Jerusalem and were telling Jesus’ disciples what they saw, Jesus appeared again to them and several other believers. Apparently a week after this, presumably in Jerusalem, Jesus appeared again to a group of disciples that included Thomas (John 20:24-29). At some point Jesus also met his disciples on a mountain in the region of Galilee, perhaps at Mount Tabor or the cliffs of Arbel, where he had told them earlier to meet him (Matthew 28:16). Jesus also met with Peter and some other disciples who were fishing on the Sea of Galilee, likely near Capernaum (John 21:1-14). Finally at the end of Jesus’ forty days on earth after his resurrection, Jesus led his disciples out from Jerusalem to the vicinity of Bethany and ascended to heaven (Luke 24:50-53).
