St Luke 24:22-37 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

22. Yea and certain women also of our company affrighted us, who before it was light, were at the sepulchre,

23. And not finding his body, came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, who say that he is alive.

24. And some of our people went to the sepulchre, and found it so as the women had said, but him they found not.

25. Then he said to them: O foolish, and slow of heart to believe in all things which the prophets have spoken.

26. Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and so to enter into his glory?

27. And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded to them in all the scriptures, the things that were concerning him.

28. And they drew night to the town, whither they were going: and he made as though he would go farther.

29. But they constrained him; saying: Stay with us, because it is towards evening, and the day is now far spent. And he went in with them.

30. And it came to pass, whilst he was at table with them, he took bread, and blessed, and brake, and 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 the other: Was not our heart burning within us, whilst he spoke in this way, and opened to us the scriptures?

33. And rising up, the same hour, they went back to Jerusalem: and they found the eleven gathered together, and those that were staying with them,

34. Saying: The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.

35. And they told what things were done in the way; and how they knew him in the breaking of the bread.

36. Now whilst they were speaking these things, Jesus stood in the midst of them, and saith to them: Peace be to you; it is I, fear not.

37. But they being troubled and frightened, supposed that they saw a spirit.
