Chapter 24 of Luke—American Standard Version (ASV)

  1. ¶ But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came unto the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared.
  2. And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb.
  3. And they entered in, and found not the body [a]of the Lord Jesus.
  4. And it came to pass, while they were perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel:
  5. and as they were affrighted and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye [b]the living among the dead?
  6. [c]He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,
  7. saying that the Son of man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
  8. And they remembered his words,
  9. and returned [d]from the tomb, and told all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest.
  10. Now they were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James: and the other women with them told these things unto the apostles.
  11. And these words appeared in their sight as idle talk; and they disbelieved them.
  12. [e]But Peter arose, and ran unto the tomb; and stooping and looking in, he seeth the linen cloths by themselves; and he [f]departed to his home, wondering at that which was come to pass.
  13. ¶ And behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was threescore furlongs from Jerusalem.
  14. And they communed with each other of all these things which had happened.
  15. And it came to pass, while they communed and questioned together, that Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.
  16. But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.
  17. And he said unto them, [g]What communications are these that ye have one with another, as ye walk? And they stood still, looking sad.
  18. And one of them, named Cleopas, answering said unto him, [h]Dost thou alone sojourn in Jerusalem and not know the things which are come to pass there in these days?
  19. And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:
  20. and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him.
  21. But we hoped that it was he who should redeem Israel. Yea and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things came to pass.
  22. Moreover certain women of our company amazed us, having been early at the tomb;
  23. and when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.
  24. And certain of them that were with us went to the tomb, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.
  25. And he said unto them, O foolish men, and slow of heart to believe [i]in all that the prophets have spoken!
  26. Behooved it not the Christ to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory?
  27. And beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
  28. And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they were going: and he made as though he would go further.
  29. And they constrained him, saying, Abide with us; for it is toward evening, and the day is now far spent. And he went in to abide with them.
  30. And it came to pass, when he had sat down with them to meat, he took the [j]bread and blessed; and breaking it he gave to them.
  31. And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.
  32. And they said one to another, Was not our heart burning within us, while he spake to us in the way, while he opened to us the scriptures?
  33. And they rose up that very hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,
  34. saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
  35. And they rehearsed the things that happened in the way, and how he was known of them in the breaking of the bread.
  36. ¶ And as they spake these things, he himself stood in the midst of them, [k]and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
  37. But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they beheld a spirit.
  38. And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and wherefore do questionings arise in your heart?
  39. See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye behold me having.
  40. [l]And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.
  41. And while they still disbelieved for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here anything to eat?
  42. And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish[m].
  43. And he took it, and ate before them.
  44. ¶ And he said unto them, These are my words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must needs be fulfilled, which are written in the law of Moses, and the prophets, and the psalms, concerning me.
  45. Then opened he their mind, that they might understand the scriptures;
  46. and he said unto them, Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day;
  47. and that repentance [n]and remission of sins should be preached in his name unto all the [o]nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
  48. Ye are witnesses of these things.
  49. And behold, I send forth the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city, until ye be clothed with power from on high.
  50. ¶ And he led them out until they were over against Bethany: and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.
  51. And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he parted from them, [p]and was carried up into heaven.
  52. And they [q]1worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:
  53. and were continually in the temple, blessing God.

    The NWT adds words to the text that are not in the greek Manuscripts to fit it's own doctrinal position for example

    Compare the wording of the NWT and the NKJV at Colossians 1:15-17

    NKJV says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

    NWT says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God,the firstborn OF all creation;16 because by means of him all OTHER things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible,whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All OTHER things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all OTHER things,and by means of him all OTHER things were made to exist,

    The word “other” is not in the Greek but they add it Why? So they can decieve their followers into thinking that Christ was created by the Father and that he then created other things, that is not what the Greek says.

      Truth is from God and those that follow him. As for lies? John8:44

      Kiamia, I noticed you used a modern version of kjv to make your point about the nwt.

      Why didn’t you use the original kjv of col1:15?

      Is it because it disproves your point? It proves the opposite of what you wrote?

      Here is kjv col1:15 ¶” Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn OF every creature:“

      Now I appeal to your Christian nature to correct your mistake as God is watching each of us, and let us bless the God of Jesus his father.

      Kjv 1Pe 1:3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ….

    Joshua, Jehovah’s Witnesses have never denied the deity of the Messiah in his prehuman existence. While on Earth he was fully 100% human. I do not mean he was a mere human, he was not affected by Adam’s unfaithful behavior, he was sinless.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
