A    ^noteOn the morowe after the saboth / erly in the morninge / they came vnto the toumbe ∧ brought the odoures which they had prepared ∧ other wemen with them And they founde the stone rouled awaye fr&obar; the sepulcre / and went in: but founde not the body of the Lorde Iesu. And it happened / as they were amased therat: Beholde two men stode by them in shynynge vestures. And as they were a frayde / and bowed doune their faces to the erth: they sayd to them: why seke ye the lyvinge amonge the deed? He is not here: but is rysen. Remember how he spake vnto you / ^note when he was yet with you in Galile / sayinge: that the sonne of man must be delyvered into the hondes of synfull men / B   and be crucified / and the thyrde daye ryse agayne.

And they remembred his wordes / ∧ returned from the sepulcre / and tolde all these thinges vnto the eleven / ∧ to all the remanaunt. It was Mary Magdalen and Ioanna / ∧ Mary Iacobi / ∧ other that were with th&ebar; / which tolde these thinges vnto the Apostles / ∧ their wordes semed vnto them fayned thinges / nether beleved they them. ^noteThen aroose Peter and ran vnto the sepulcre / and stouped in and sawe the lynnen cloothes layde by them selfe / and departed wondrynge in him selfe at that which had happened. &cross3;

C   &cross2; And beholde / two of them went that same daye to a toune which was fr&obar; Ierusalem about thre scoore for longes / called Emaus: and they talked togeder of all these thinges ^note

that had happened. And it chaunsed / as they c&obar;mened togeder ∧ reasoned / that Iesus him selfe drue neare / ∧ went with them. But their eyes were holden / that they coulde not knowe him. And he sayde vnto them: What maner of c&obar;municacions are these that ye have one to another as ye walke / ∧ are sadde. And the one of them named Cleophas / answered and sayd vnto him: arte thou only a straunger in Ierusalem / ∧ haste not knowen the thinges which have chaunsed therin in these dayes? To whom he sayd: what thinges?

And they sayd vnto him: of Iesus of Nazareth which was a Prophet / myghtie in dede / ∧ worde / before god / ∧ all the people. And how the hye prestes / ∧ oure rulers delyvered him to be condempned to deeth: and have crucified him. But we trusted that it shuld have bene he that shuld have delyvered Israel. And as touchynge all these thinges / to daye is even the thyrd daye / that they were done.

D   Ye and certayne wemen also of oure company made vs astonyed / which came erly vnto the sepulcre / and founde not his boddy: and came sayinge / that they had sene a vision of angels / which sayde that he was alyve. And certayne of them which were with vs / went their waye to the sepulcre / and founde it even so as the wemen had sayde: but him they sawe not.

And he sayde vnto th&ebar;: O foles and slowe of herte to beleve all þt; the prophet&es; have spoken. Ought not Christ to have suffred these

thinges / ∧ to enter into his glory? And he began at Moses / ∧ at all the prophetes / ∧ interpreted vnto them in all scriptures which were wrytten of him. D   And they drue neye vnto the toune wich they went to. And he made as though he wolde have gone further. But they constrayned him sayinge: abyde with vs / for it draweth towardes nyght / ∧ the daye is farre passed. And he went in to tary with th&ebar;.

And it came to passe as he sate at meate &wt; them / he toke breed / blessed it / brake and gave to them. And their eyes were openned / ∧ they knewe him: E   and he vnnisshed out of their syght. And they sayde betwene them selves: dyd not oure hertes burne with in vs / whyll he talked with vs by the waye / and as he opened to vs the scriptures? And they roose vp the same houre / and returned agayne to Ierusalem / and founde the eleven gadered to geder and them that were with them / which sayde: the Lorde is rysen in dede / and hath apered to Simon. And they tolde what thinges was done in the waye / and how they knewe him in breakynge of breed. &cross3;

F    ^noteAs they thus spake &cross2; Iesus him selfe stode in þe; myddes of them / ∧ sayde vnto them: peace be with you. And they were abasshed ∧ afrayde / supposinge þt; they had sene a sprete And he sayde vnto th&ebar;: Why are ye troubled / ∧ why do thoughtes aryse in youre hertes? Beholde my hondes ∧ my fete / that it is even my selfe. Handle me ∧ se: for spretes have not flesshe ∧ bones / as ye se me have. And when

he had thus spoken / he shewed them his hondes and his fete. And whyll they yet beleved not for ioye / and wondred / he sayde vnto th&ebar;: Have ye here eny meate? And they gave him a pece of a broyled fisshe / and of an hony combe. And he toke it / and ate it before them.

And he sayde vnto th&ebar;. These are the wordes / which I spake vnto you / whyll I was yet with you: G    ^note that all must be fulfilled which were written of me in the lawe of Moses / ∧ in the Prophetes / ∧ in the Psalmes. Then openned he their wyttes / that they myght vnderstond the scriptures / and sayde vnto them. Thus is it written / ∧ thus it behoved Christ to suffre / ^note and to ryse agayne from deeth the thyrde daye / and that repentaunce and remission of synnes shuld be preached in his name amonge all nacions / &cross3; and must beginne at Ierusalem. And ye are witnesses of these thinges. And beholde / I will sende the promes of my father apon you. ^noteBut tary ye in þe; cite of Ierusalem / vntyll ye be endewed with power from an hye.

And he ledde th&ebar; out into Bethany / ∧ lyfte vp his hondes / ∧ blest them. ^noteAnd it cam to passe / as he blessed th&ebar; / he departed from th&ebar; / ∧ was caryed vp in to heven. And they worshipped him / ∧ returned to Ierusalem with greate ioye / and were continually in the temple / praysinge and laudinge God. Amen. ¶ Here endeth the Gospell of Sayncte Luke.
