Chapter 24 of Luke—New American Standard Bible (NASB)

  1. 1But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared.
  2. And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb,
  3. but when they entered, they did not find the body of 2the Lord Jesus.
  4. While they were perplexed about this, behold, 3two men suddenly 4stood near them in dazzling clothing;
  5. and as the women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living One among the dead?
  6. He is not here, but He 5has [a]risen. Remember how He spoke to you 6while He was still in Galilee,
  7. saying that 7the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.”
  8. And 8they remembered His words,
  9. and returned from the tomb and reported all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.
  10. Now they were 9Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James; also the other women with them were telling these things to 10the apostles.
  11. But these words appeared [b]to them as nonsense, and they 11would not believe them.
  12. But Peter got up and 12ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he *saw the linen wrappings [c]only; and he went away 13to his home, marveling at what had happened.
  13. ¶ And behold, 14two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was [d]about seven miles from Jerusalem.
  14. And they were talking with each other about all these things which had taken place.
  15. While they were talking and discussing, Jesus Himself approached and began traveling with them.
  16. But 15their eyes were prevented from recognizing Him.
  17. And He said to them, “What are these words that you are exchanging with one another as you are walking?” And they stood still, looking sad.
  18. One of them, named Cleopas, answered and said to Him, “Are You [e]the only one visiting Jerusalem and unaware of the things which have happened here in these days?”
  19. And He said to them, “What things?” And they said to Him, “The things about 16Jesus the Nazarene, who was a 17prophet mighty in deed and word in the sight of God and all the people,
  20. and how the chief priests and our 18rulers delivered Him to the sentence of death, and crucified Him.
  21. But we were hoping that it was He who was going to 19redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, it is the third day since these things happened.
  22. But also some women among us amazed us. 20When they were at the tomb early in the morning,
  23. and did not find His body, they came, saying that they had also seen a vision of angels who said that He was alive.
  24. Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just exactly as the women also had said; but Him they did not see.”
  25. And He said to them, “O foolish men and slow of heart to believe in all that 21the prophets have spoken!
  26. 22Was it not necessary for the [f]Christ to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?”
  27. Then beginning [g]with 23Moses and [h]with all the 24prophets, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.
  28. ¶ And they approached the village where they were going, and 25He acted as though He were going farther.
  29. But they urged Him, saying, “Stay with us, for it is getting toward evening, and the day [i]is now nearly over.” So He went in to stay with them.
  30. When He had reclined at the table with them, He took the bread and 26blessed it, and breaking it, He began giving it to them.
  31. Then their 27eyes were opened and they recognized Him; and He vanished from [j]their sight.
  32. They said to one another, “[k]Were not our hearts burning within us while He was speaking to us on the road, while He 28was [l]explaining the Scriptures to us?”
  33. And they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and 29found gathered together the eleven and 30those who were with them,
  34. saying, “31The Lord has really risen and 32has appeared to Simon.”
  35. They began to relate [m]their experiences on the road and how 33He was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.
  36. ¶ While they were telling these things, 34He Himself stood in their midst and *said to them, “Peace be to you.”
  37. But they were startled and frightened and thought that they were seeing 35a spirit.
  38. And He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your [n]hearts?
  39. 36See My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself; 37touch Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.”
  40. And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet.
  41. While they still [o]38could not believe it because of their joy and amazement, He said to them, “39Have you anything here to eat?”
  42. They gave Him a piece of a broiled fish;
  43. and He took it and 40ate it before them.
  44. ¶ Now He said to them, “41These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things which are written about Me in the 42Law of Moses and the Prophets and 43the Psalms must be fulfilled.”
  45. Then He 44opened their [p]minds to understand the Scriptures,
  46. and He said to them, “45Thus it is written, that the [q]Christ would suffer and 46rise again from the dead the third day,
  47. and that 47repentance [r]for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed [s]in His name to 48all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
  48. You are 49witnesses of these things.
  49. And behold, 50I am sending forth the promise of My Father upon you; but 51you are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.”
  50. ¶ And He led them out as far as 52Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them.
  51. While He was blessing them, He parted from them and was carried up into heaven.
  52. And they, after worshiping Him, returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
  53. and were continually in the temple [t]praising 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

    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!
