¶ The .xxiiii. Chapter. ✚

ON the morowe after the saboth / erly [ A] * 1.1 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 frō 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 fa¦ces 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* 1.2 you / when he was yet with you in Galile / say∣inge: that the sonne of man must be delyvered into the hondes of synfull men / and be cruci∣fied / and [ B] the thyrde daye ryse agayne.

And they remembred his wordes / & retur∣ned from the sepulcre / and tolde all these thin¦ges vnto the eleven / & to all the remanaunt. It was Mary Magdalen and Ioanna / & Ma¦ry Iacobi / & other that were with thē / which tolde these thinges vnto the Apostles / & their wordes semed vnto them fayned thinges / nether beleved they them. Then aroose Pe∣ter* 1.3 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. ⊢

✚ And beholde / two of them went that sa∣me [ C] daye to a toune which was frō Ierusalem about thre scoore for longes / called Emaus: and they talked togeder of all these thinges* 1.4

that had happened. And it chaunsed / as they cōmened 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 cōmunicacions 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 Naza¦reth 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 com∣pany made vs astonyed / which came erly vn∣to 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 thē: O foles and slow•• of herte to beleve all y^• the prophete have spo¦ken. Ought not Christ to have suffred the∣se

thinges / & to enter into his glory? And he began at Moses / & at all the prophetes / & in∣terpreted vnto them in all scriptures which [ D] were wrytten of him. And they drue neye vn∣to 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 thē.

And it came to passe as he sate at meate w^t them / he toke breed / blessed it / brake and gave to them. And their eyes were openned / & they [ E] knewe him: 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 ope∣ned to vs the scriptures? And they roose vp the same houre / and returned agayne to Ieru¦salem / 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 do¦ne in the waye / and how they knewe him in breakynge of breed. ✚* 1.5

As they thus spake ✚ Iesus him selfe sto∣de [ F] in y^e myddes of them / & sayde vnto them: peace be with you. And they were abasshed & afrayde / supposinge y^t they had sene a sprete And he sayde vnto thē: 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 hon¦des and his fete. And whyll they yet beleved not for ioye / and wondred / he sayde vnto thē: Have ye here eny meate? And they gave him a pece of a broyled fisshe / and of an hony com¦be. And he toke it / and ate it before them.

And he sayde vnto thē. These are the wor∣des / which I spake vnto you / whyll I was yet with you: that all must be fulfilled which [ G] * 1.6 were written of me in the lawe of Moses / & in the Prophetes / & in the Psalmes. Then open¦ned he their wyttes / that they myght vnder∣stond the scriptures / and sayde vnto them. Thus is it written / & thus it behoved Christ to suffre / and to ryse agayne from deeth the* 1.7 thyrde daye / and that repentaunce and remis∣sion of synnes shuld be preached in his name amonge all nacions / ✚ and must beginne at Ierusalem. And ye are witnesses of these thinges. And beholde / I will sende the pro∣mes* 1.8 of my father apon you. But tary ye in y^e cite of Ierusalem / vntyll ye be endewed with power from an hye.

And he ledde thē out into Bethany / & lyf∣te vp his hondes / & blest them. And it cam to* 1.9 passe / as he blessed thē / he departed from thē / & was caryed vp in to heven. And they wor∣shipped him / & returned to Ierusalem with greate ioye / and were continually in the tem∣ple / praysinge and laudinge God.

Amen.
