(64) Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead so the last error 8 shall be worse than the first. (65) Pilate said unto them, 9 Ye have a watch go your way, make it as sure as ye can. (66) So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, 1o and setting a watch.

unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him. (14) And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. (15) Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. (16) Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master. (17) Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I as

(13) And behold, two of them 6 went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs. (14) And they 7 talked together of all these things which had happened. (15) And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, 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, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad? (18) And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, 12 Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days? (19) And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which 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 to be condemned to death, and have crucified him. (21) But we 18 trusted that it 14 had been he which should 15 have redeemed Israel and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done. (22) Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the 16 sepulchre; (23) and when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive. (24) And certain of them which were with us went to the 16 sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not. (25) Then he said unto them, O 17 fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! (26) 18 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter his glory? (27) And beginning 19 at Moses and 20 all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. (28) And they drew nigh unto the village whither they went and he made as though he would 21 have gone further. (29) But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to 22- tarry with them. (30) And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and
