New Testament

Luke 24:9-16 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

9. They came back from the tomb. They told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others.

10. Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them were the ones who told the apostles.

11. But the apostles did not believe the women. Their words didn't make any sense to them.

12. But Peter got up and ran to the tomb. He bent over and saw the strips of linen lying by themselves. Then he went away, wondering what had happened.

13. That same day two of Jesus' followers were going to a village called Emmaus. It was about seven miles from Jerusalem.

14. They were talking with each other about everything that had happened.

15. As they talked about those things, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them.

16. But God kept them from recognizing him.
