Luke 24

NEW JERUSALEM	GREEK BIBLE
1 On the first day of the week, at the first sign of dawn, they went to the tomb with the spices they hadprepared.	1 Την δε πρωτην ημεραν της εβδομαδος, ενω ητο ορθρος βαθυς, ηλθον εις το μνημα φερουσαι τα οποια ητοιμασαν αρωματα, και αλλαι τινες μετ' αυτων.
2 They found that the stone had been rol ed away from the tomb,	2 Ευρον δε τον λιθον αποκεκυλισμενον απο του μνημειου,
3 but on entering they could not find the body of the Lord Jesus.	3 και εισελθουσαι δεν ευρον το σωμα του Κυριου Ιησου.
4 As they stood there puzzled about this, two men in bril iant clothes suddenly appeared at their side.	4 Και ενω ησαν εν απορια περι τουτου, ιδου, δυο ανδρες εσταθησαν εμπροσθεν αυτων με ιματια αστραπτοντα.
5 Terrified, the women bowed their heads to the ground. But the two said to them, 'Why look among thedead for someone who is alive?	5 Καθως δε αυται εφοβηθησαν και εκλινον το προσωπον εις την γην, ειπον προς αυτας? Τι ζητειτε τον ζωντα μετα των νεκρων;
6 He is not here; he has risen. Remember what he told you when he was still in Galilee:	6 δεν ειναι εδω, αλλ' ανεστη? ενθυμηθητε πως ελαλησε προς εσας, ενω ητο ετι εν τη Γαλιλαια,
7 that the Son of man was destined to be handed over into the power of sinful men and be crucified, andrise again on the third day.'	7 λεγων οτι πρεπει ο Υιος του ανθρωπου να παραδοθη εις χειρας ανθρωπων αμαρτωλων και να σταυρωθη και την τριτην ημεραν να αναστηθη.
8 And they remembered his words.	8 Και ενεθυμηθησαν τους λογους αυτου.
9 And they returned from the tomb and told al this to the Eleven and to al the others.	9 Και αφου υπεστρεψαν απο του μνημειου, απηγγειλαν ταυτα παντα προς τους ενδεκα και παντας τους λοιπους.
10 The women were Mary of Magdala, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James. And the other womenwith them also told the apostles,	10 Ησαν δε η Μαγδαληνη Μαρια και Ιωαννα και Μαρια η μητηρ του Ιακωβου και αι λοιπαι μετ' αυτων, αιτινες ελεγον ταυτα προς τους αποστολους.
11 but this story of theirs seemed pure nonsense, and they did not believe them.	11 Και οι λογοι αυτων εφανησαν ενωπιον αυτων ως φλυαρια, και δεν επιστευον εις αυτας.
12 Peter, however, went off to the tomb, running. He bent down and looked in and saw the linen clothsbut nothing else; he then went back home, amazed at what had happened.	12 Ο δε Πετρος σηκωθεις εδραμεν εις το μνημειον, και παρακυψας βλεπει τα σαβανα κειμενα μονα, και ανεχωρησε, θαυμαζων καθ' εαυτον το γεγονος.
13 Now that very same day, two of them were on their way to a vil age cal ed Emmaus, seven miles fromJerusalem,	13 Και ιδου, δυο εξ αυτων επορευοντο εν αυτη τη ημερα εις κωμην ονομαζομενην Εμμαους, απεχουσαν εξηκοντα σταδια απο Ιερουσαλημ.
14 and they were talking together about al that had happened.	14 Και αυτοι ωμιλουν προς αλληλους περι παντων των συμβεβηκοτων τουτων.
15 And it happened that as they were talking together and discussing it, Jesus himself came up andwalked by their side;	15 Και ενω ωμιλουν και συνδιελεγοντο, πλησιασας και αυτος ο Ιησους επορευετο μετ' αυτων?
16 but their eyes were prevented from recognising him.	16 αλλ' οι οφθαλμοι αυτων εκρατουντο δια να μη γνωρισωσιν αυτον.
17 He said to them, 'What are all these things that you are discussing as you walk along?' They stopped,their faces downcast.	17 Ειπε δε προς αυτους? Τινες ειναι οι λογοι ουτοι, τους οποιους συνομιλειτε προς αλληλους περιπατουντες, και εισθε σκυθρωποι;
18 Then one of them, called Cleopas, answered him, 'You must be the only person staying in Jerusalemwho does not know the things that have been happening there these last few days.'	18 Αποκριθεις δε ο εις, ονομαζομενος Κλεοπας, ειπε προς αυτον? Συ μονος παροικεις εν Ιερουσαλημ και δεν εμαθες τα γενομενα εν αυτη εν ταις ημεραις ταυταις;
19 He asked, 'What things?' They answered, 'Al about Jesus of Nazareth, who showed himself aprophet powerful in action and speech before God and the whole people;	19 Και ειπε προς αυτους? Ποια; Οι δε ειπον προς αυτον? Τα περι Ιησου του Ναζωραιου, οστις εσταθη ανηρ προφητης δυνατος εν εργω και λογω ενωπιον του Θεου και παντος του λαου,
20 and how our chief priests and our leaders handed him over to be sentenced to death, and had himcrucified.	20 και πως παρεδωκαν αυτον οι αρχιερεις και οι αρχοντες ημων εις καταδικην θανατου και εσταυρωσαν αυτον.
21 Our own hope had been that he would be the one to set Israel free. And this is not al : two whole dayshave now gone by since it al happened;	21 ημεις δε ηλπιζομεν οτι αυτος ειναι ο μελλων να λυτρωση τον Ισραηλ? αλλα και προς τουτοις πασι τριτη ημερα ειναι σημερον αυτη, αφου εγειναν ταυτα.
22 and some women from our group have astounded us: they went to the tomb in the early morning,	22 Αλλα και γυναικες τινες εξ ημων εξεπληξαν ημας, αιτινες υπηγον την αυγην εις το μνημειον,
23 and when they could not find the body, they came back to tel us they had seen a vision of angelswho declared he was alive.	23 και μη ευρουσαι το σωμα αυτου, ηλθον λεγουσαι οτι ειδον και οπτασιαν αγγελων, οιτινες λεγουσιν οτι αυτος ζη.
24 Some of our friends went to the tomb and found everything exactly as the women had reported, but ofhim they saw nothing.'	24 Και τινες των υμετερων υπηγον εις το μνημειον και ευρον ουτω, καθως και αι γυναικες ειπον, αυτον ομως δεν ειδον.
25 Then he said to them, 'You foolish men! So slow to believe al that the prophets have said!	25 Και αυτος ειπε προς αυτους? Ω ανοητοι και βραδεις την καρδιαν εις το να πιστευητε εις παντα οσα ελαλησαν οι προφηται?
26 Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer before entering into his glory?'	26 δεν επρεπε να παθη ταυτα ο Χριστος και να εισελθη εις την δοξαν αυτου;
27 Then, starting with Moses and going through al the prophets, he explained to them the passagesthroughout the scriptures that were about himself.	27 Και αρχισας απο Μωυσεως και απο παντων των προφητων, διηρμηνευεν εις αυτους τα περι εαυτου γεγραμμενα εν πασαις ταις γραφαις.
28 When they drew near to the vil age to which they were going, he made as if to go on;	28 Και επλησιασαν εις την κωμην οπου επορευοντο, και αυτος προσεποιειτο οτι υπαγει μακροτερα?
29 but they pressed him to stay with them saying, 'It is nearly evening, and the day is almost over.' So hewent in to stay with them.	29 και παρεβιασαν αυτον, λεγοντες? Μεινον μεθ' ημων, διοτι πλησιαζει η εσπερα και εκλινεν η ημερα. Και εισηλθε δια να μεινη μετ' αυτων.
30 Now while he was with them at table, he took the bread and said the blessing; then he broke it andhanded it to them.	30 Και αφου εκαθησε μετ' αυτων εις την τραπεζαν, λαβων τον αρτον ευλογησε και κοψας εδιδεν εις αυτους.
31 And their eyes were opened and they recognised him; but he had vanished from their sight.	31 Αυτων δε διηνοιχθησαν οι οφθαλμοι, και εγνωρισαν αυτον. Και αυτος εγεινεν αφαντος απ' αυτων.
32 Then they said to each other, 'Did not our hearts burn within us as he talked to us on the road andexplained the scriptures to us?'	32 Και ειπον προς αλληλους? Δεν εκαιετο εν υμιν η καρδια ημων, οτε ελαλει προς ημας καθ' οδον και μας εξηγει τας γραφας;
33 They set out that instant and returned to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven assembled togetherwith their companions,	33 Και σηκωθεντες τη αυτη ωρα υπεστρεψαν εις Ιερουσαλημ, και ευρον συνηθροισμενους τους ενδεκα και τους μετ' αυτων,
34 who said to them, 'The Lord has indeed risen and has appeared to Simon.'	34 οιτινες ελεγον οτι οντως ανεστη ο Κυριος και εφανη εις τον Σιμωνα.
35 Then they told their story of what had happened on the road and how they had recognised him at thebreaking of bread.	35 Και αυτοι διηγουντο τα εν τη οδω και πως εγνωρισθη εις αυτους, ενω εκοπτε τον αρτον.
36 They were still talking about al this when he himself stood among them and said to them, 'Peace bewith you!'	36 Ενω δε ελαλουν ταυτα, αυτος ο Ιησους εσταθη εν μεσω αυτων και λεγει προς αυτους? Ειρηνη υμιν.
37 In a state of alarm and fright, they thought they were seeing a ghost.	37 Εκεινοι δε εκπλαγεντες και εμφοβοι γενομενοι ενομιζον οτι εβλεπον πνευμα.
38 But he said, 'Why are you so agitated, and why are these doubts stirring in your hearts?	38 Και ειπε προς αυτους? Δια τι εισθε τεταραγμενοι; και δια τι αναβαινουσιν εις τας καρδιας σας διαλογισμοι;
39 See by my hands and my feet that it is I myself. Touch me and see for yourselves; a ghost has noflesh and bones as you can see I have.'	39 ιδετε τας χειρας μου και τους ποδας μου, οτι αυτος εγω ειμαι? ψηλαφησατε με και ιδετε, διοτι πνευμα σαρκα και οστεα δεν εχει, καθως εμε θεωρειτε εχοντα.
40 And as he said this he showed them his hands and his feet.	40 Και τουτο ειπων, εδειξεν εις αυτους τας χειρας και τους ποδας.
41 Their joy was so great that they stil could not believe it, as they were dumbfounded; so he said tothem, 'Have you anything here to eat?'	41 Ενω δε αυτοι ηπιστουν ετι απο της χαρας και εθαυμαζον, ειπε προς αυτους? Εχετε τι φαγωσιμον ενταυθα;
42 And they offered him a piece of gril ed fish,	42 Οι δε εδωκαν εις αυτον μερος οπτου ιχθυος και απο κηρηθραν μελιτος.
43 which he took and ate before their eyes.	43 Και λαβων ενωπιον αυτων εφαγεν.
44 Then he told them, 'This is what I meant when I said, while I was stil with you, that everything writtenabout me in the Law of Moses, in the Prophets and in the Psalms, was destined to be fulfilled.'	44 Ειπε δε προς αυτους? Ουτοι ειναι οι λογοι, τους οποιους ελαλησα προς υμας οτε ημην ετι μεθ' υμων, οτι πρεπει να πληρωθωσι παντα τα γεγραμμενα εν τω νομω του Μωυσεως και προφηταις και ψαλμοις περι εμου.
45 He then opened their minds to understand the scriptures,	45 Τοτε διηνοιξεν αυτων τον νουν, δια να καταλαβωσι τας γραφας?
46 and he said to them, 'So it is written that the Christ would suffer and on the third day rise from thedead,	46 και ειπε προς αυτους οτι ουτως ειναι γεγραμμενον και ουτως επρεπε να παθη ο Χριστος και να αναστηθη εκ νεκρων τη τριτη ημερα,
47 and that, in his name, repentance for the forgiveness of sins would be preached to al nations,beginning from Jerusalem.	47 και να κηρυχθη εν τω ονοματι αυτου μετανοια και αφεσις αμαρτιων εις παντα τα εθνη, γινομενης αρχης απο Ιερουσαλημ.
48 You are witnesses to this.	48 Σεις δε εισθε μαρτυρες τουτων.
49 'And now I am sending upon you what the Father has promised. Stay in the city, then, until you areclothed with the power from on high.'	49 Και ιδου, εγω αποστελλω την επαγγελιαν του Πατρος μου εφ' υμας? σεις δε καθησατε εν τη πολει Ιερουσαλημ εωσου ενδυθητε δυναμιν εξ υψους.
50 Then he took them out as far as the outskirts of Bethany, and raising his hands he blessed them.	50 Και εφερεν αυτους εξω εως εις Βηθανιαν, και υψωσας τας χειρας αυτου ευλογησεν αυτους.
51 Now as he blessed them, he withdrew from them and was carried up to heaven.	51 Και ενω ευλογει αυτους, απεχωρισθη απ' αυτων και ανεφερετο εις τον ουρανον.
52 They worshipped him and then went back to Jerusalem ful of joy;	52 Και αυτοι προσκυνησαντες αυτον, υπεστρεψαν εις Ιερουσαλημ μετα χαρας μεγαλης,
53 and they were continually in the Temple praising God.	53 και ησαν διαπαντος εν τω ιερω, αινουντες και ευλογουντες τον Θεον. Αμην.
