1 # Now <1161> upon the first <3391> day of the week <4521>, very early in the morning <3722> <901>, they came <2064> (5627) unto <1909> the sepulchre <3418>, bringing <5342> (5723) the spices <759> which <3739> they had prepared <2090> (5656), and <2532> certain <5100> others with <4862> them <846>.
2 And <1161> they found <2147> (5627) the stone <3037> rolled away <617> (5772) from <575> the sepulchre <3419>.
3 And <2532> they entered in <1525> (5631), and found <2147> (5627) not <3756> the body <4983> of the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>.
4 And <2532> it came to pass <1096> (5633), as <1722> they <846> were much perplexed <1280> (5745) thereabout <4012> <5127>, <2532> behold <2400> (5628), two <1417> men <435> stood by <2186> (5627) them <846> in <1722> shining <797> (5723) garments <2067>:
These were angels and their appearance gives us an idea of what angels look like. Firstly they are generally seen to be male in gender. There is no evidence of a female angel. Then, their clothes were shining

5 And <1161> as <1096> <0> they <846> were <1096> (5637) afraid <1719>, and <2532> bowed down <2827> (5723) their faces <4383> to <1519> the earth <1093>, they said <2036> (5627) unto <4314> them <846>, Why <5101> seek ye <2212> (5719) the living <2198> (5723) among <3326> the dead <3498>?
6 He is <2076> (5748) not <3756> here <5602>, but <235> is risen <1453> (5681): remember <3415> (5682) how <5613> he spake <2980> (5656) unto you <5213> when he was <5607> (5752) yet <2089> in <1722> Galilee <1056>,
7 Saying <3004> (5723), <3754> The Son <5207> of man <444> must <1163> (5748) be delivered <3860> (5683) into <1519> the hands <5495> of sinful <268> men <444>, and <2532> be crucified <4717> (5683), and <2532> the third <5154> day <2250> rise again <450> (5629).
8 And <2532> they remembered <3415> (5681) his <846> words <4487>,

9 And <2532> returned <5290> (5660) from <575> the sepulchre <3419>, and told <518> (5656) all <3956> these things <5023> unto the eleven <1733>, and <2532> to all <3956> the rest <3062>.
10 <1161> It was <2258> (5713) Mary <3137> Magdalene <3094>, and <2532> Joanna <2489>, and <2532> Mary <3137> the mother of James <2385>, and <2532> other <3062> women that were with <4862> them <846>, which <3739> told <3004> (5707) these things <5023> unto <4314> the apostles <652>.
11 And <2532> their <846> words <4487> seemed <5316> (5648) to <1799> them <846> as <5616> idle tales <3026>, and <2532> they believed <569> <0> them <846> not <569> (5707).

12 Then <1161> arose <450> (5631) Peter <4074>, and ran <5143> (5627) unto <1909> the sepulchre <3419>; and <2532> stooping down <3879> (5660), he beheld <991> (5719) the linen clothes <3608> laid <2749> (5740) by themselves <3441>, and <2532> departed <565> (5627), wondering <2296> (5723) in <4314> himself <1438> at that which was come to pass <1096> (5756).
Peter of all people should have remembered that Jesus said He would arise

13 # And <2532>, behold <2400> (5628), two <1417> of <1537> them <846> went <2258> (5713) <4198> (5740) that <1722> same <846> day <2250> to <1519> a village <2968> called <3739> <3686> Emmaus <1695>, which was <568> (5723) from <575> Jerusalem <2419> about threescore <1835> furlongs <4712>.
14 And <2532> they <846> talked <3656> (5707) together <4314> <240> of <4012> all <3956> these things <5130> which had happened <4819> (5761).
15 And <2532> it came to pass <1096> (5633), that, while <1722> they <846> communed <3656> (5721) together and <2532> reasoned <4802> (5721), Jesus <2424> himself <2532> <846> drew near <1448> (5660), and went with <4848> (5711) them <846>.
They were busy talking with one another - this is what is involved in fellowship
- FELLOWSHIP

16 But <1161> their <846> eyes <3788> were holden <2902> (5712) that they should <1921> <0> not <3361> know <1921> (5629) him <846>.
Jesus appearance must have changed. we generally tend to remember someone and recognize them even if we only met them once.

17 And <1161> he said <2036> (5627) unto <4314> them <846>, What <5101> manner of communications <3056> are these <3778> that <3739> ye have <474> (5719) one to <4314> another <240>, as ye walk <4043> (5723), and <2532> are <2075> (5748) sad <4659>?
18 And <1161> the one of them <1520>, whose <3739> name <3686> was Cleopas <2810>, answering <611> (5679) said <2036> (5627) unto <4314> him <846>, Art thou <4771> only <3441> a stranger <3939> (5719) in <1722> Jerusalem <2419>, and <2532> hast <1097> <0> not <3756> known <1097> (5627) the things which are come to pass <1096> (5637) there <1722> <846> in <1722> these <5025> days <2250>?
19 And <2532> he said <2036> (5627) unto them <846>, What things <4169>? And <1161> they said <2036> (5627) unto him <846>, Concerning <4012> Jesus <2424> of Nazareth <3480>, which <3739> was <1096> (5633) a prophet <4396> mighty <1415> in <1722> <435> deed <2041> and <2532> word <3056> before <1726> God <2316> and <2532> all <3956> the people <2992>:
20 And how <3704> <5037> the chief priests <749> and <2532> our <2257> rulers <758> delivered <3860> (5656) him <846> to <1519> be condemned <2917> to death <2288>, and <2532> have crucified <4717> (5656) him <846>.
21 But <1161> we <2249> trusted <1679> (5707) that <3754> it had been <2076> (5748) he <846> which should <3195> (5723) have redeemed <3084> (5733) Israel <2474>: and <235> beside <1065> <4862> all <3956> this <5125>, to day <4594> is <71> (5719) the <5026> third <5154> day <2250> since <575> <3739> these things <5023> were done <1096> (5633).
Jesus told them many times He would arise on the third day.

22 Yea <235>, and certain <5100> women <1135> also <2532> of <1537> our company <2257> made <1839> <0> us <2248> astonished <1839> (5627), which were <1096> (5637) early <3721> at <1909> the sepulchre <3419>;
23 And <2532> when they found <2147> (5631) not <3361> his <846> body <4983>, they came <2064> (5627), saying <3004> (5723), that they had <3708> <0> also <2532> seen <3708> (5760) a vision <3701> of angels <32>, which <3739> said <3004> (5719) that he <846> was alive <2198> (5721).
24 And <2532> certain of them <5100> which were with <4862> us <2254> went <565> (5627) to <1909> the sepulchre <3419>, and <2532> found <2147> (5627) it even <2532> so <3779> as <2531> the women <1135> had said <2036> (5627): but <1161> him <846> they saw <1492> (5627) not <3756>.
25 Then <2532> he <846> said <2036> (5627) unto <4314> them <846>, O <5599> fools <453>, and <2532> slow <1021> of heart <2588> to believe <4100> (5721) <1909> all <3956> that <3739> the prophets <4396> have spoken <2980> (5656):
26 Ought <1163> (5713) not <3780> Christ <5547> to have suffered <3958> (5629) these things <5023> , and <2532> to enter <1525> (5629) into <1519> his <846> glory <1391>?
There is always a price to pay to experience God’s glory

27 And <2532> beginning <756> (5671) at <575> Moses <3475> and <2532> <575> all <3956> the prophets <4396>, he expounded <1329> (5707) unto them <846> in <1722> all <3956> the scriptures <1124> the things concerning <4012> himself <1438>.
28 And <2532> they drew nigh <1448> (5656) unto <1519> the village <2968>, whither <3757> they went <4198> (5711): and <2532> he <846> made as though <4364> (5710) he would have gone <4198> (5738) further <4208>.
29 But <2532> they constrained <3849> (5662) him <846>, saying <3004> (5723), Abide <3306> (5657) with <3326> us <2257>: for <3754> it is <2076> (5748) toward <4314> evening <2073>, and <2532> the day <2250> is far spent <2827> (5758). And <2532> he went in <1525> (5627) to tarry <3306> (5658) with <4862> them <846>.
30 And <2532> it came to pass <1096> (5633), as <1722> he <846> sat at meat <2625> (5683) with <3326> them <846>, he took <2983> (5631) bread <740>, and blessed <2127> (5656) it, and <2532> brake <2806> (5660), and gave <1929> (5707) to them <846>.
31 And <1161> their <846> eyes <3788> were opened <1272> (5681), and <2532> they knew <1921> (5627) him <846>; and <2532> he <846> vanished <1096> (5633) <855> out of <575> their sight <846>.
It was the event that triggered the memory of Jesus breaking the bread.

32 And <2532> they said <2036> (5627) one to another <4314> <240>, Did <2258> (5713) not <3780> our <2257> heart <2588> burn <2545> (5746) within <1722> us <2254>, while <5613> he talked <2980> (5707) with us <2254> by <1722> the way <3598>, and <2532> while <5613> he opened <1272> (5707) to us <2254> the scriptures <1124>?
33 And <2532> they rose up <450> (5631) the same <846> hour <5610>, and returned <5290> (5656) to <1519> Jerusalem <2419>, and <2532> found <2147> (5627) the eleven <1733> gathered together <4867> (5772), and <2532> them that were with <4862> them <846>,
34 Saying <3004> (5723), <3754> The Lord <2962> is risen <1453> (5681) indeed <3689>, and <2532> hath appeared <3700> (5681) to Simon <4613>.
35 And <2532> they <846> told <1834> (5711) what things were done in <1722> the way <3598>, and <2532> how <5613> he was known <1097> (5681) of them <846> in <1722> breaking <2800> of bread <740> .
36 # And <1161> as they <846> thus <5023> spake <2980> (5723), Jesus <2424> himself <846> stood <2476> (5627) in <1722> the midst <3319> of them <846>, and <2532> saith <3004> (5719) unto them <846>, Peace <1515> be unto you <5213>.
37 But <1161> they were terrified <4422> (5685) and <2532> affrighted <1719> <1096> (5637) , and supposed <1380> (5707) that they had seen <2334> (5721) a spirit <4151>.
38 And <2532> he said <2036> (5627) unto them <846>, Why <5101> are ye <2075> (5748) troubled <5015> (5772)? and <2532> why <1302> do thoughts <1261> arise <305> (5719) in <1722> your <5216> hearts <2588>?
39 Behold <1492> (5628) my <3450> hands <5495> and <2532> my <3450> feet <4228>, that <3754> it is <1510> (5748) I <1473> myself <846>: handle <5584> (5657) me <3165>, and <2532> see <1492> (5628); for <3754> a spirit <4151> hath <2192> (5719) not <3756> flesh <4561> and <2532> bones <3747>, as <2531> ye see <2334> (5719) me <1691> have <2192> (5723).
40 And <2532> when he had thus <5124> spoken <2036> (5631), he shewed <1925> (5656) them <846> his hands <5495> and <2532> his feet <4228>.
41 And <1161> while they <846> yet <2089> believed not <569> (5723) for <575> joy <5479> , and <2532> wondered <2296> (5723), he said <2036> (5627) unto them <846>, Have ye <2192> (5719) here <1759> any <5100> meat <1034>?
42 And <1161> they gave <1929> (5656) him <846> a piece <3313> of a broiled <3702> fish <2486> , and <2532> of <575> an honeycomb <3193> <2781>.
43 And <2532> he took <2983> (5631) it, and did eat <5315> (5627) before <1799> them <846>.
44 And <1161> he said <2036> (5627) unto them <846>, These <3778> are the words <3056> which <3739> I spake <2980> (5656) unto <4314> you <5209>, while <5607> (5752) I was yet <2089> with <4862> you <5213>, that <3754> all things <3956> must <1163> (5748) be fulfilled <4137> (5683), which <3588> were written <1125> (5772) in <1722> the law <3551> of Moses <3475>, and <2532> in the prophets <4396> , and <2532> in the psalms <5568>, concerning <4012> me <1700>.
45 Then <5119> opened he <1272> (5656) their <846> understanding <3563>, that they might understand <4920> (5721) the scriptures <1124>,
46 And <2532> said <2036> (5627) unto them <846>, Thus <3754> <3779> it is written <1125> (5769), and <2532> thus <3779> it behoved <1163> (5713) Christ <5547> to suffer <3958> (5629), and <2532> to rise <450> (5629) from <1537> the dead <3498> the third <5154> day <2250>:
47 And <2532> that repentance <3341> and <2532> remission <859> of sins <266> should be preached <2784> (5683) in <1909> his <846> name <3686> among <1519> all <3956> nations <1484>, beginning <756> (5671) at <575> Jerusalem <2419>.
48 And <1161> ye <5210> are <2075> (5748) witnesses <3144> of these things <5130>.
49 And <2532>, behold <2400> (5628), I <1473> send <649> (5719) the promise <1860> of my <3450> Father <3962> upon <1909> you <5209>: but <1161> tarry <2523> (5657) ye <5210> in <1722> the city <4172> of Jerusalem <2419>, until <2193> ye <3739> be endued <1746> (5672) with power <1411> from <1537> on high <5311>.
50 # And <1161> he led <1806> (5627) them <846> out <1854> as far as <2193> to <1519> Bethany <963>, and <2532> he lifted up <1869> (5660) his <846> hands <5495>, and blessed <2127> (5656) them <846>.
51 And <2532> it came to pass <1096> (5633), while <1722> he <846> blessed <2127> (5721) them <846>, he was parted <1339> (5627) from <575> them <846>, and <2532> carried up <399> (5712) into <1519> heaven <3772>.
52 And <2532> they <846> worshipped <4352> (5660) him <846>, and returned <5290> (5656) to <1519> Jerusalem <2419> with <3326> great <3173> joy <5479>:
53 And <2532> were <2258> (5713) continually <1275> in <1722> the temple <2411>, praising <134> (5723) and <2532> blessing <2127> (5723) God <2316>. Amen <281>.
