The Life of Jesus

And it came to passe, that as they were amased thereat, beholde, two men suddenly stood by them in shining vestures.

And as they were afraide, and bowed downe their faces to the earth, they sayd to them, Why seeke ye him that liueth, among the dead?

He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake vnto you, when he was yet in Galile,

Saying, that the sonne of man must be deliuered into the hands of sinfull men, and be crucified, and the third day rise againe.

And they remembred his wordes,

And returned from the sepulchre, and tolde all these things vnto the eleuen, and to all the remnant.

Now it was Mary Magdalene, and Ioanna, and Mary the mother of Iames, and other women with them, which tolde these things vnto the Apostles.

But their wordes seemed vnto them, as a fained thing, neither beleeued they them.

Then arose Peter, and ran vnto the sepulchre, and looked in, and saw the linnen clothes laide by themselues, and departed wondering in himselfe at that which was come to passe.

And beholde, two of them went that same day to a towne which was from Hierusalem about threescore furlongs, called Emmaus.

And they talked together of al these things that were done.

And it came to passe, as they communed together, and reasoned, that Iesus himselfe drewe neere, and went with them.

But their eyes were holden, that they could not know him.

And he sayd vnto them, What maner of communications are these that ye haue one to another as ye walke and are sad?

And the one (named Cleopas) answered, and sayd vnto him, Art thou onely a stranger in Hierusalem, and hast not knowen the things which are come to passe therein in these dayes?

And he said vnto them, What things? And they sayd vnto him, Of Iesus of Nazareth, which was a Prophet, mightie in deede and in word before God, and all people,

And howe the hie Priests, and our rulers deliuered him to be condemned to death, and haue crucified him.

But we trusted that it had bene he that should haue deliuered Israel, and as touching all these things, to day is ye third day, that they were done.

Yea, and certaine women among vs made vs astonied, which came early vnto the sepulchre.

And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seene a vision of Angels, which sayd, that he was aliue.

Therefore certaine of them which were with vs, went to the sepulchre, and found it euen so as the women had sayd, but him they saw not.

Then he sayd vnto them, O fooles and slowe of heart to beleeue all that the Prophets haue spoken!

Ought not Christ to haue suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?

And he began at Moses, and at all the Prophets, and interpreted vnto them in all the Scriptures the things which were written of him.

And they drew neere vnto ye towne, which they went to, but he made as though hee would haue gone further.
