DIE PAD NA EMMAUS:

1. Op dieselfde dag was twee van hulle op pad na ‘n dorpie met die naam Emmaus, twaalf kilometer van Jerusalem af. 
2. Hulle was in gesprek met mekaar oor al hierdie dinge wat gebeur het. 
3. Terwyl hulle so gesels, en gedagtes wissel, het Jesus self nader gekom en saam met hulle begin loop,
4. maar hulle oë is verhinder om Hom te herken. 
5. Hy vra hulle toe: “Wat is dit wat julle so ernstig met mekaar loop en bespreek?” Met somber gesigte gaan hulle staan, 
6. en een van hulle met die naam Kleopas, antwoord Hom: ‘Is U dan die enigste vreemdeling in Jerusalem, dat U nie weet van die dinge wat in die afgelope dae daar gebeur het nie?’
7. Hy vra hulle toe: “Watter dinge?” Hulle antwoord Hom: ‘Die dinge in verband met Jesus van Nasaret, ‘n Profeet wat Magtig was in Woord en Daad voor God en die hele volk. 
8. ‘En hoe die priesterhoofde en die lede van die Raad Hom oorgelewer het om ter dood veroordeel te word, en Hom gekruisig het. 
9. ‘Ons het so gehoop dat dit Hy is wat Israel sou verlos. Maar boonop is dit vandag al die derde dag vandat die dinge gebeur het. 
10. ‘En nou het ‘n paar vroue uit ons kring ons ook nog ontstel. Hulle was vanoggend vroeg by die graf,
11. ‘en kon Sy liggaam nie kry nie. Hulle het kom vertel dat hulle ‘n verskyning gesien het van engele wat gesê het dat Hy lewe. 
12. ‘Sommige van ons mense het ook na die graf toe gegaan, en dit net so gekry soos die vroue gesê het, maar Hom het hulle nie gesien nie.’
13. Toe sê Hy vir hulle: “Wat ‘n gebrek aan begrip, en wat ‘n traagheid van gees! Glo julle dan nie al die dinge wat die Profete gesê het nie?
14. “Moes die Christus nie al hierdie dinge ly om in Sy heerlikheid in te gaan nie? “
15. Daarna het Hy by Moses en al die Profete begin, en al die Skrif-uitsprake wat op Homself betrekking het, vir hulle uitgelê. 
16. Toe hulle by díe dorpie aankom waarheen hulle op pad was, het Hy gemaak of Hy verder wou gaan. 
17. Hulle het egter by Hom aangedring en gesê: ‘Bly by ons, want dis al amper aand, en die dag is al verby.’ Toe het Hy ingegaan om by hulle oor te bly. 
18. Terwyl Hy saam met hulle aan tafel was, neem Hy die brood, vra die seën, breek dit, en gee dit vir hulle.
19. Toe gaan hulle oë oop, en het hulle Hom herken. Maar Hy het skielik uit hulle gesig verdwyn. 
20. Hulle sê toe vir mekaar: ‘Het ons harte nie warm geword, toe Hy op die pad met ons gepraat, en vir ons die Skrif uitgelê het nie?’
21. Hulle het dadelik opgestaan, en na Jerusalem toe terug gegaan. Daar aangekom, kry hulle die elf en die ander mense bymekaar, 
22. en hulle vertel: ‘Die Here het regtig opgestaan, en Hy het ook aan Simon verskyn!’
23. Toe vertel hulle wat op die pad gebeur het, en hoe Hy aan hulle bekend geword het toe Hy die brood gebreek het.

THE ROAD TO EMMAUS: 

1. That very day two of them were going to a village named Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem. 
2. And they were talking with each other about all the things that had happened. 
3. While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus Himself drew near and went with them. 
4. But their eyes were kept from recognizing Him. 
5. And He said to them: “What is this conversation that you are holding with each other as you walk?” And they stood still, looking sad. 
6. Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered Him: ‘Are You the only visitor to Jerusalem, that does not know the things that have happened there in these days?’
7. And He said to them: “What things?” And they said to Him: ‘Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, a Man Who was a Prophet, mighty in Deed and Word before God and all the people, 
8. ‘and how our chief priests and rulers delivered Him up to be condemned to death, and crucified Him. 
9. ‘But we have hoped that He was the One to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened. 
10. ‘Moreover, some women of our company amazed us. They were at the tomb early in the morning, 
11. ‘and when they did not find His body, they came back saying that they had seen a vision of angels, who said that He was alive!
12. ‘Some of those who were with us, went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but Him they did not see.’
13. And He said to them: “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the Prophets have spoken. 
14. “Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things, and enter into His Glory?”
15. And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He interpreted to them in all the Scriptures, the things concerning Himself. 
16. So they drew near to the village to which they were going. He acted as if He were going farther, 
17. but they urged Him strongly, sayjng; ‘Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the day is now far spent.’ So He went in to stay with them. 
18. When He was at table with them, He took the bread and blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. 
19. And their eyes were opened, and they recognized Him. Then He vanished from their sight. 
20. They said to each other:  ‘Did not our hearts burn within us while He talked to us on the road, while He opened the Scriptures to us?’
21. And they rose that same hour and returned to Jerusalem. And they found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together, 
22. saying: ‘The Lord Has risen indeed, and Has appeared to Simon!’
23. Then they told what had happened on the road, and how He was known to them, in the breaking of the bread.

(Lukas 23:55,56)

1. Die vroue wat saam met Jesus van Galilea af gekom het, het saamgeloop en die graf gesien, en hoe Sy liggaam neergelê word. 
2. Daarna het hulle huistoe gegaan en reukolie en salf gereed gemaak. Op die Sabbatdag het hulle gerus, soos die gebod bepaal.

1. Die volgende oggend baie vroeg het díe vroue na die graf toe gegaan met die reukolie wat hulle reggemaak het. 
2. Daar, kry hulle die klip weggerol van die ingang van die graf af. 
3. En toe hulle ingaan het hulle nie die liggaam van die Here Jesus gekry nie. 
4. Hulle het nie geweet wat om daarvan te dink nie. Meteens staan daar by hulle twee manne met blink klere aan. 
5. Die vroue het groot geskrik, en met hulle gesigte na die grond toe gebuig. Toe sê die manne vir hulle: .’Hoekom  soek julle die lewende by die dooies? 
6. ‘Hy is nie hier nie. Hy is uit die dood opgewek. Onthou hoe Hy met julle gepraat het toe Hy nog in Galilea was, 
7. en gesê het: “Die Seun van die mens moet uitgelewer word in die hande van sondige mense, gekruisig word, en op die derde dag opstaan.”
8. Toe het hulle Sy woorde onthou,
9. en van die graf af teruggegaan en al hierdie dinge vir die elf , en al die ander vertel. 
10. Die vroue was Maria Magdalena en Johanna en Maria die ma van Jakobus. Ook die ander vroue saam met hulle, het dieselfde dinge aan die apostels vertel. 
11. Maar vir hulle het hierdie verhaal na onsin geklink en hulle het die vroue nie geglo nie. 
12. Petrus het egter opgespring en na die graf toe gehardloop. Toe hy daar vooroor buk, sien hy net die doeke. Vol verwondering oor wat gebeur het, is hy terug huis toe.

THEY FOUND THE STONE ROLLED AWAY: 

(Luke is 23:55,56)

1. The women who had come with  Him from Galilee, followed and saw the tomb, and how His body was laid. 
2. Then they returned and prepared spices and ointments. On the Sabbath day they rested, according to the commandment. 

(Luke 24:1-12)

1. But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared. 
2. And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 
3. but when they went in, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 
4. While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel. 
5. And as they were frightened, and bound their faces to the ground, the men said to them: ‘Why do you seek the living among the dead?
6. ‘He is not here, but Has risen. Remember how He told you, while He was still in Galilee,
7. ‘that the Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified, and on the third day rise.’
8. And they remembered His Words, 
9. and returning from the grave, they 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 the other women with them, who told these things to the apostles, 
11. but these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them. 
12. But Peter rose and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths by themselves; and he went home, marvelling at what had happened.
