John 20:1-9
RSV
20:1 Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.
20:2 So she ran, and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him."
20:3 Peter then came out with the other disciple, and they went toward the tomb.
20:4 They both ran, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first;
20:5 and stooping to look in, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in.
20:6 Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb; he saw the linen cloths lying,
20:7 and the napkin, which had been on his head, not lying with the linen cloths but rolled up in a place by itself.
20:8 Then the other disciple, who reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed;
20:9 for as yet they did not know the scripture, that he must rise from the dead.
Luke 24:13-35
RSV
24:13 That very day two of them were going to a village named Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem,
24:14 and talking with each other about all these things that had happened.
24:15 While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus himself drew near and went with them.
24:16 But their eyes were kept from recognizing him.
24:17 And he said to them, "What is this conversation which you are holding with each other as you walk?" And they stood still, looking sad.
24:18 Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered him, "Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?"
24:19 And he said to them, "What things?" And they said to him, "Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people,
24:20 and how our chief priests and rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him.
24:21 But we had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since this happened.
24:22 Moreover, some women of our company amazed us. They were at the tomb early in the morning
24:23 and did not find his body; and they came back saying that they had even seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.
24:24 Some of those who were with us went to the tomb, and found it just as the women had said; but him they did not see."
24:25 And he said to them, "O foolish men, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!
24:26 Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?"
24:27 And beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
24:28 So they drew near to the village to which they were going. He appeared to be going further,
24:29 but they constrained him, saying, "Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the day is now far spent." So he went in to stay with them.
24:30 When he was at table with them, he took the bread and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them.
24:31 And their eyes were opened and they recognized him; and he vanished out of their sight.
24:32 They said to each other, "Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the scriptures?"
24:33 And they rose that same hour and returned to Jerusalem; and they found the eleven gathered together and those who were with them,
24:34 who said, "The Lord has risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!"
24:35 Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread.

These tools are brought to you free of charge by The Cross Reference, a Catholic blog run by Jeff Pinyan, covering a wide array of topics (from liturgy to apologetics, from study of Holy Scripture to current events). None of the content from these tools is property of The Cross Reference, and all of it is found elsewhere on the Internet already. These tools exist simply to make it easier to search the various sources represented here, as well as to further the glorification of God and the sanctification of His Church. If they contribute to any of these goals, I am pleased (and I hope He is too).

I am aware of certain gaps (lacunas) in the Douay-Rheims, Latin Vulgate, and New Vulgate texts; if you find one, feel free to email me about it so I can take care of it. I will also get around to loading the footnotes for the Douay-Rheims text.

If you found these tools useful, please let your friends, family, and local church know about them (and let me know you let them know!). If you encountered problems, have suggestions for improvements, or have questions, comments, or compliments, feel free to email the author of these tools at his gmail.com account, TheCrossReference.
