1 E no primeiro dia da semana, muito de madrugada, foram elas ao sepulcro, levando as especiarias que tinham preparado, e algumas outras com elas.
2 E acharam a pedra revolvida do sepulcro.
3 E, entrando, não acharam o corpo do Senhor Jesus.
4 E aconteceu que, estando elas muito perplexas a esse respeito, eis que pararam junto delas dois homens, com vestes resplandecentes.
5 E, estando elas muito atemorizadas, e abaixando o rosto para o chão, eles lhes disseram: Por que buscais o vivente entre os mortos?
6 Não está aqui, mas ressuscitou. Lembrai-vos como vos falou, estando ainda na Galiléia,
7 Dizendo: Convém que o Filho do homem seja entregue nas mãos de homens pecadores, e seja crucificado, e ao terceiro dia ressuscite.
8 E lembraram-se das suas palavras.
9 E, voltando do sepulcro, anunciaram todas estas coisas aos onze e a todos os demais.
10 E eram Maria Madalena, e Joana, e Maria, mãe de Tiago, e as outras que com elas estavam, as que diziam estas coisas aos apóstolos.
11 E as suas palavras lhes pareciam como desvario, e não as creram.
12 Pedro, porém, levantando-se, correu ao sepulcro e, abaixando-se, viu só os lençóis ali postos; e retirou-se, admirando consigo aquele caso.
13 E eis que no mesmo dia iam dois deles para uma aldeia, que distava de Jerusalém sessenta estádios, cujo nome era Emaús.
14 E iam falando entre si de tudo aquilo que havia sucedido.
15 E aconteceu que, indo eles falando entre si, e fazendo perguntas um ao outro, o mesmo Jesus se aproximou, e ia com eles.
16 Mas os olhos deles estavam como que fechados, para que o não conhecessem.
17 E ele lhes disse: Que palavras são essas que, caminhando, trocais entre vós, e por que estais tristes?
18 E, respondendo um, cujo nome era Cléopas, disse-lhe: És tu só peregrino em Jerusalém, e não sabes as coisas que nela têm sucedido nestes dias?
19 E ele lhes perguntou: Quais? E eles lhe disseram: As que dizem respeito a Jesus Nazareno, que foi homem profeta, poderoso em obras e palavras diante de Deus e de todo o povo;
20 E como os principais dos sacerdotes e os nossos príncipes o entregaram à condenação de morte, e o crucificaram.
21 E nós esperávamos que fosse ele o que remisse Israel; mas agora, sobre tudo isso, é já hoje o terceiro dia desde que essas coisas aconteceram.
22 É verdade que também algumas mulheres dentre nós nos maravilharam, as quais de madrugada foram ao sepulcro;
23 E, não achando o seu corpo, voltaram, dizendo que também tinham visto uma visão de anjos, que dizem que ele vive.
24 E alguns dos que estavam conosco foram ao sepulcro, e acharam ser assim como as mulheres haviam dito; porém, a ele não o viram.
25 E ele lhes disse: Ó néscios, e tardos de coração para crer tudo o que os profetas disseram!
26 Porventura não convinha que o Cristo padecesse estas coisas e entrasse na sua glória?
27 E, começando por Moisés, e por todos os profetas, explicava-lhes o que dele se achava em todas as Escrituras.
28 E chegaram à aldeia para onde iam, e ele fez como quem ia para mais longe.
29 E eles o constrangeram, dizendo: Fica conosco, porque já é tarde, e já declinou o dia. E entrou para ficar com eles.
30 E aconteceu que, estando com eles à mesa, tomando o pão, o abençoou e partiu-o, e lho deu.
31 Abriram-se-lhes então os olhos, e o conheceram, e ele desapareceu-lhes.
32 E disseram um para o outro: Porventura não ardia em nós o nosso coração quando, pelo caminho, nos falava, e quando nos abria as Escrituras?
33 E na mesma hora, levantando-se, tornaram para Jerusalém, e acharam congregados os onze, e os que estavam com eles,
34 Os quais diziam: Ressuscitou verdadeiramente o Senhor, e já apareceu a Simão.
35 E eles lhes contaram o que lhes acontecera no caminho, e como deles fora conhecido no partir do pão.
36 E falando eles destas coisas, o mesmo Jesus se apresentou no meio deles, e disse-lhes: Paz seja convosco.
37 E eles, espantados e atemorizados, pensavam que viam algum espírito.
38 E ele lhes disse: Por que estais perturbados, e por que sobem tais pensamentos aos vossos corações?
39 Vede as minhas mãos e os meus pés, que sou eu mesmo; apalpai-me e vede, pois um espírito não tem carne nem ossos, como vedes que eu tenho.
40 E, dizendo isto, mostrou-lhes as mãos e os pés.
41 E, não o crendo eles ainda por causa da alegria, e estando maravilhados, disse-lhes: Tendes aqui alguma coisa que comer?
42 Então eles apresentaram-lhe parte de um peixe assado, e um favo de mel;
43 O que ele tomou, e comeu diante deles.
44 E disse-lhes: São estas as palavras que vos disse estando ainda convosco: Que convinha que se cumprisse tudo o que de mim estava escrito na lei de Moisés, e nos profetas e nos Salmos.
45 Então abriu-lhes o entendimento para compreenderem as Escrituras.
46 E disse-lhes: Assim está escrito, e assim convinha que o Cristo padecesse, e ao terceiro dia ressuscitasse dentre os mortos,
47 E em seu nome se pregasse o arrependimento e a remissão dos pecados, em todas as nações, começando por Jerusalém.
48 E destas coisas sois vós testemunhas.
49 E eis que sobre vós envio a promessa de meu Pai; ficai, porém, na cidade de Jerusalém, até que do alto sejais revestidos de poder.
50 E levou-os fora, até betânia; e, levantando as suas mãos, os abençoou.
51 E aconteceu que, abençoando-os ele, se apartou deles e foi elevado ao céu.
52 E, adorando-o eles, tornaram com grande júbilo para Jerusalém.
53 E estavam sempre no templo, louvando e bendizendo a Deus. Amém.
1 But on the morrow of the sabbath, very early indeed in the morning, they came to the tomb, bringing the aromatic spices which they had prepared.
2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
3 And when they had entered they found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
4 And it came to pass as they were in perplexity about it, that behold, two men suddenly stood by them in shining raiment.
5 And as they were filled with fear and bowed their faces to the ground, they said to them, Why seek ye the living one among the dead?
6 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spoke to you, being yet in Galilee,
7 saying, The Son of man must be delivered up into the hands of sinners, and be crucified, and rise the third day.
8 And they remembered his words;
9 and, returning from the sepulchre, related all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.
10 Now it was Mary of Magdala, and Johanna, and Mary the {mother} of James, and the others with them, who told these things to the apostles.
11 And their words appeared in their eyes as an idle tale, and they disbelieved them.
12 But Peter, rising up, ran to the sepulchre, and stooping down he sees the linen clothes lying there alone, and went away home, wondering at what had happened.
13 And behold, two of them were going on the same day to a village distant sixty stadia from Jerusalem, called Emmaus;
14 and they conversed with one another about all these things which had taken place.
15 And it came to pass as they conversed and reasoned, that Jesus himself drawing nigh, went with them;
16 but their eyes were holden so as not to know him.
17 And he said to them, What discourses are these which pass between you as ye walk, and are downcast?
18 And one {of them}, named Cleopas, answering said to him, Thou sojournest alone in Jerusalem, and dost not know what has taken place in it in these days?
19 And he said to them, What things? And they said to him, The things concerning Jesus the Nazaraean, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people;
20 and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to {the} judgment of death and crucified him.
21 But *we* had hoped that *he* was {the one} who is about to redeem Israel. But then, besides all these things, it is now, to-day, the third day since these things took place.
22 And withal, certain women from amongst us astonished us, having been very early at the sepulchre,
23 and, not having found his body, came, saying that they also had seen a vision of angels, who say that he is living.
24 And some of those with us went to the sepulchre, and found it so, as the women also had said, but him they saw not.
25 And *he* said to them, O senseless and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!
26 Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into his glory?
27 And having begun from Moses and from all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
28 And they drew near to the village where they were going, and *he* made as though he would go farther.
29 And they constrained him, saying, Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the day is declining. And he entered in to stay with them.
30 And it came to pass as he was at table with them, having taken the bread, he blessed, and having broken it, gave it to them.
31 And their eyes were opened, and they recognised him. And he disappeared from them.
32 And they said to one another, Was not our heart burning in us as he spoke to us on the way, {and} as he opened the scriptures to us?
33 And rising up the same hour, they returned to Jerusalem. And they found the eleven, and those with them, gathered together,
34 saying, The Lord is indeed risen and has appeared to Simon.
35 And they related what {had happened} on the way, and how he was made known to them in the breaking of bread.
36 And as they were saying these things, he himself stood in their midst, and says to them, Peace {be} unto you.
37 But they, being confounded and being frightened, supposed they beheld a spirit.
38 And he said to them, Why are ye troubled? and why are thoughts rising in your hearts?
39 behold my hands and my feet, that it is *I* myself. Handle me and see, for a spirit has not flesh and bones as ye see me having.
40 And having said this he shewed them his hands and his feet.
41 But while they yet did not believe for joy, and were wondering, he said to them, Have ye anything here to eat?
42 And they gave him part of a broiled fish and of a honeycomb;
43 and he took it and ate before them.
44 And he said to them, These {are} the words which I spoke to you while I was yet with you, that all that is written concerning me in the law of Moses and prophets and psalms must be fulfilled.
45 Then he opened their understanding to understand the scriptures,
46 and said to them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved the Christ to suffer, and to rise from among the dead the third day;
47 and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name to all the nations beginning at Jerusalem.
48 And *ye* are witnesses of these things.
49 And behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you; but do ye remain in the city till ye be clothed with power from on high.
50 And he led them out as far as Bethany, and having lifted up his hands, he blessed them.
51 And it came to pass as he was blessing them, he was separated from them and was carried up into heaven.
52 And *they*, having done him homage, returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
53 and were continually in the temple praising and blessing God.
