Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 Very early on the first day of the week, the women went to the tomb, taking the spices they'd prepared.
1 Y EL primer [día] de la semana, muy de mañana, vinieron al sepulcro, trayendo las [drogas] aromáticas que habían aparejado, y algunas [otras mujeres] con ellas.
1 But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they and some others came to the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared.
2 They found that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance to the tomb,
2 Y hallaron la piedra revuelta del sepulcro.
2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb.
3 but when they went in they didn't find the body of the Lord Jesus.
3 Y entrando, no hallaron el cuerpo del Señor Jesús.
3 They entered in, and didn’t find the Lord Jesus’ body.
4 While they were wondering what was going on, two men suddenly appeared dressed in clothes that shone brilliantly.
4 Y aconteció, que estando ellas espantadas de esto, he aquí se pararon junto á ellas dos varones con vestiduras resplandecientes;
4 While they were greatly perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling clothing.
5 The women were terrified and bowed down, their faces on the ground. They said to the women, “Why are you looking for someone who is alive among the dead?
5 Y como tuviesen ellas temor, y bajasen el rostro á tierra, les dijeron: ¿Por qué buscáis entre los muertos al que vive?
5 Becoming terrified, they bowed their faces down to the earth. The men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead?
6 He's not here; he's risen from the dead! Remember what he told you while you were still in Galilee:
6 No está aquí, mas ha resucitado: acordaos de lo que os habló, cuando aun estaba en Galilea,
6 He isn’t here, but is risen. Remember what he told you when he was still in Galilee,
7 ‘The Son of man must be betrayed into the hands of evil men, be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’”
7 Diciendo: Es menester que el Hijo del hombre sea entregado en manos de hombres pecadores, y que sea crucificado, y resucite al tercer día.
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 Then they remembered what he'd said.
8 Entonces ellas se acordaron de sus palabras,
8 They remembered his words,
9 When they returned from the tomb they reported all that had happened to the eleven disciples and to all the others.
9 Y volviendo del sepulcro, dieron nuevas de todas estas cosas á los once, y á todos los demás.
9 returned from the tomb, and told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.
10 Those who told the apostles what had happened were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and other women with them.
10 Y eran María Magdalena, y Juana, y María [madre] de Jacobo, y las demás con ellas, las que dijeron estas cosas á los apóstoles.
10 Now they were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James. The other women with them told these things to the apostles.
11 But it seemed like nonsense to them, so they didn't believe the women.
11 Mas á ellos les parecían como locura las palabras de ellas, y no las creyeron.
11 These words seemed to them to be nonsense, and they didn’t believe them.
12 However, Peter got up and ran to the tomb. Bending down, he looked in and saw only the linen grave-clothes. So he went back home, wondering what had happened.
12 Pero levantándose Pedro, corrió al sepulcro: y como miró dentro, vió solos los lienzos echados; y se fué maravillándose de lo que había sucedido.
12 But Peter got up and ran to the tomb. Stooping and looking in, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he departed to his home, wondering what had happened.
13 The same day two disciples were on their way to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.
13 Y he aquí, dos de ellos iban el mismo día á una aldea que estaba de Jerusalem sesenta estadios, llamada Emmaús.
13 Behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was sixty stadia from Jerusalem.
14 They were talking about all that had happened.
14 E iban hablando entre sí de todas aquellas cosas que habían acaecido.
14 They talked with each other about all of these things which had happened.
15 As they discussed and debated, Jesus came up and fell into step with them.
15 Y aconteció que yendo hablando entre sí, y preguntándose el uno al otro, el mismo Jesús se llegó, é iba con ellos juntamente.
15 While they talked and questioned together, Jesus himself came near, and went with them.
16 But they were kept from recognizing him.
16 Mas los ojos de ellos estaban embargados, para que no le conociesen.
16 But their eyes were kept from recognizing him.
17 “What are you discussing as you walk along?” he asked them. They stopped, their faces sad.
17 Y díjoles: ¿Qué pláticas son estas que tratáis entre vosotros andando, y estáis tristes?
17 He said to them, “What are you talking about as you walk, and are sad?”
18 One of them, called Cleopas, replied, “Are you just visiting Jerusalem? You must be the only person who doesn't know the things that have happened in the past few days.”
18 Y respondiendo el uno, que se llamaba Cleofas, le dijo: ¿Tú sólo peregrino eres en Jerusalem, y no has sabido las cosas que en ella han acontecido estos días?
18 One of them, named Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who doesn’t know the things which have happened there in these days?”
19 “What things?” Jesus asked. “About Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “He was a prophet who spoke powerfully and performed great miracles before God and all the people.
19 Entonces él les dijo: ¿Qué cosas? Y ellos le dijeron: De Jesús Nazareno, el cual fué varón profeta, poderoso en obra y en palabra delante de Dios y de todo el pueblo;
19 He said to them, “What things?” They said to him, “The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people;
20 But our high priests and leaders handed him over to be condemned to death, and they crucified him.
20 Y cómo le entregaron los príncipes de los sacerdotes y nuestros príncipes á condenación de muerte, y le crucificaron.
20 and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him.
21 We had hoped he was the one who was going to rescue Israel. It's been three days now since all this happened.
21 Mas nosotros esperábamos que él era el que había de redimir á Israel: y ahora sobre todo esto, hoy es el tercer día que esto ha acontecido.
21 But we were hoping that it was he who would redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened.
22 But then some of the women in our group surprised us.
22 Aunque también unas mujeres de los nuestros nos han espantado, las cuales antes del día fueron al sepulcro:
22 Also, certain women of our company amazed us, having arrived early at the tomb;
23 At dawn they went to the tomb and they didn't find his body. They came back saying that they'd seen a vision of angels who told them he's alive.
23 Y no hallando su cuerpo, vinieron diciendo que también habían visto visión de ángeles, los cuales dijeron que él vive.
23 and when they didn’t find his body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.
24 Some of us went to the tomb, and found it just as the women said—but they didn't see him.”
24 Y fueron algunos de los nuestros al sepulcro, y hallaron así como las mujeres habían dicho; mas á él no le vieron.
24 Some of us went to the tomb and found it just like the women had said, but they didn’t see him.”
25 Jesus told them, “You're so dull! How slow you are to trust in all that the prophets said!
25 Entonces él les dijo: ¡Oh insensatos, y tardos de corazón para creer todo lo que los profetas han dicho!
25 He said to them, “Foolish people, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!
26 Didn't the Messiah have to suffer before he could enter into his glory?”
26 ¿No era necesario que el Cristo padeciera estas cosas, y que entrara en su gloria?
26 Didn’t the Christ have to suffer these things and to enter into his glory?”
27 Then, starting with Moses and all the prophets, he explained to them everything that was said in Scripture about himself.
27 Y comenzando desde Moisés, y de todos los profetas, declarábales en todas las Escrituras lo que de él decían.
27 Beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.
28 As they approached the village they were going to, Jesus made it seem as if he was going farther.
28 Y llegaron á la aldea á donde iban: y él hizo como que iba más lejos.
28 They came near to the village where they were going, and he acted like he would go further.
29 But they urged him, saying, “Please come and stay with us. It's getting late—the day is almost over.” So he went to stay with them.
29 Mas ellos le detuvieron por fuerza, diciendo: Quédate con nosotros, porque se hace tarde, y el día ya ha declinado. Entró pues á estarse con ellos.
29 They urged him, saying, “Stay with us, for it is almost evening, and the day is almost over.” He went in to stay with them.
30 When he sat down to eat with them, he took the bread and gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to them.
30 Y aconteció, que estando sentado con ellos á la mesa, tomando el pan, bendijo, y partió, y dióles.
30 When he had sat down at the table with them, he took the bread and gave thanks. Breaking it, he gave it to them.
31 Their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. Then he disappeared from view.
31 Entonces fueron abiertos los ojos de ellos, y le conocieron; mas él se desapareció de los ojos de ellos.
31 Their eyes were opened and they recognized him; then he vanished out of their sight.
32 The two disciples said to each other, “Weren't our thoughts on fire when he spoke to us, as he explained the Scriptures to us?”
32 Y decían el uno al otro: ¿No ardía nuestro corazón en nosotros, mientras nos hablaba en el camino, y cuando nos abría las Escrituras?
32 They said to one another, “Weren’t our hearts burning within us while he spoke to us along the way, and while he opened the Scriptures to us?”
33 They got up right away and returned to Jerusalem. There they found the eleven disciples and those who were with them meeting together,
33 Y levantándose en la misma hora, tornáronse á Jerusalem, y hallaron á los once reunidos, y á los que estaban con ellos.
33 They rose up that very hour, returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and those who were with them,
34 who said, “The Lord has really risen again! He has appeared to Simon.”
34 Que decían: Ha resucitado el Señor verdaderamente, y ha aparecido á Simón.
34 saying, “The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!”
35 Then those who had just arrived explained to the other disciples what had happened to them on the road, and how they had recognized Jesus when he broke bread.
35 Entonces ellos contaban las cosas que [les habían acontecido] en el camino, y cómo había sido conocido de ellos al partir el pan.
35 They related the things that happened along the way, and how he was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.
36 While they were talking, Jesus himself stood among them, and said, “Peace to you!”
36 Y entre tanto que ellos hablaban estas cosas, él se puso en medio de ellos, y les dijo: Paz á vosotros.
36 As they said these things, Jesus himself stood among them, and said to them, “Peace be to you.”
37 They were startled and afraid, thinking they were seeing a ghost.
37 Entonces ellos espantados y asombrados, pensaban que veían espíritu.
37 But they were terrified and filled with fear, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
38 “Why are you frightened? Why are you doubting?” he asked them.
38 Mas él les dice: ¿Por qué estáis turbados, y suben pensamientos á vuestros corazones?
38 He said to them, “Why are you troubled? Why do doubts arise in your hearts?
39 “Look at my hands and my feet—you can see it's me. Touch me and you'll be certain, for a ghost doesn't have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”
39 Mirad mis manos y mis pies, que yo mismo soy: palpad, y ved; que el espíritu ni tiene carne ni huesos, como veis que yo tengo.
39 See my hands and my feet, that it is truly me. Touch me and see, for a spirit doesn’t have flesh and bones, as you see that I have.”
40 Having said this, he showed them his hands and feet.
40 Y en diciendo esto, les mostró las manos y los pies.
40 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.
41 But they still couldn't believe it because they were so elated and amazed. He asked them, “Do you have anything to eat?”
41 Y no creyéndolo aún ellos de gozo, y maravillados, díjoles: ¿Tenéis aquí algo de comer?
41 While they still didn’t believe for joy, and wondered, he said to them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”
42 They gave him a piece of cooked fish,
42 Entonces ellos le presentaron parte de un pez asado, y un panal de miel.
42 They gave him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb.
43 and he took it and ate it in front of them.
43 Y él tomó, y comió delante de ellos.
43 He took them, and ate in front of them.
44 Then Jesus said to them, “This is what I explained to you while I was still with you. Everything written about me in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms, had to be fulfilled.”
44 Y él les dijo: Estas son las palabras que os hablé, estando aún con vosotros: que era necesario que se cumpliesen todas las cosas que están escritas de mí en la ley de Moisés, y en los profetas, y en los salmos.
44 He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you, that all things which are written in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms concerning me must be fulfilled.”
45 Then he opened their minds so they were able to understand the Scriptures.
45 Entonces les abrió el sentido, para que entendiesen las Escrituras;
45 Then he opened their minds, that they might understand the Scriptures.
46 He told them, “It was written like this: the Messiah would suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and in his name
46 Y díjoles: Así está escrito, y así fué necesario que el Cristo padeciese, y resucitase de los muertos al tercer día;
46 He said to them, “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day,
47 repentance for the forgiveness of sins would be preached to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem.
47 Y que se predicase en su nombre el arrepentimiento y la remisión de pecados en todas las naciones, comenzando de Jerusalem.
47 and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48 You are witnesses of all this.
48 Y vosotros sois testigos de estas cosas.
48 You are witnesses of these things.
49 Now I'm going to send you what my Father promised—but wait in the city until you receive power from heaven.”
49 Y he aquí, yo enviaré la promesa de mi Padre sobre vosotros: mas vosotros asentad en la ciudad de Jerusalem, hasta que seáis investidos de potencia de lo alto.
49 Behold, I send out the promise of my Father on you. But wait in the city of Jerusalem until you are clothed with power from on high.”
50 Then he led them out until they were near Bethany, and lifting up his hands, he blessed them.
50 Y sacólos fuera hasta Bethania, y alzando sus manos, los bendijo.
50 He led them out as far as Bethany, and he lifted up his hands and blessed them.
51 While he was blessing them, he left them, and was taken up to heaven.
51 Y aconteció que bendiciéndolos, se fué de ellos; y era llevado arriba al cielo.
51 While he blessed them, he withdrew from them and was carried up into heaven.
52 They worshiped him, and then they returned to Jerusalem full of joy.
52 Y ellos, después de haberle adorado, se volvieron á Jerusalem con gran gozo;
52 They worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
53 They spent all their time in the Temple praising God.
53 Y estaban siempre en el templo, alabando y bendiciendo á Dios. Amén.
53 and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
The Lord appeared to His disciples after His resurrection, as ye have heard, and saluted them, saying, "Peace be unto you." This is peace indeed, and the salutation of salvation: for the very word salutation has received its name from salvation. And what can be better than that Salvation Itself should salute man? For Christ is our Salvation.

… was that the Lord discoursed with the disciples after His resurrection from the dead, proving to them from the Scriptures themselves "that Christ must suffer, and enter into His glory, and that remission of sins should be preached in His name throughout all the world." And the disciple will be perfected, and [rendered] like the householder, "who bringeth forth from …

His running to the fig-tree, His shrinking, that is, His drawing back, His praying, and His making as though He would have gone further For neither as God nor as man was He in need of these or similar things, but only because His form was that of a man as necessity and expediency demanded.
