1 E, no primeiro dia da semana, muito de madrugada, foram elas ao sepulcro, levando as especiarias que tinham preparado. 2 E acharam a pedra do sepulcro removida. 3 E, entrando, não acharam o corpo do Senhor Jesus. 4 E aconteceu que, estando elas perplexas a esse respeito, eis que pararam junto delas dois varões com vestes resplandecentes. 5 E, estando elas muito atemorizadas e abaixando o rosto para o chão, eles lhe disseram: Por que buscais o vivente entre os mortos? 6 Não está aqui, mas ressuscitou. Lembrai-vos como vos falou, estando ainda na Galileia, 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 essas 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 lenços 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 Cleopas, 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, o Nazareno, que foi um 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, com 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, 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 essas 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, voltaram 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 foi conhecido no partir do pão.

36 E, falando ele dessas 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 ao vosso coração? 39 Vede as minhas mãos e os meus pés, que sou eu mesmo; tocai-me e vede, pois um espírito não tem carne nem ossos, como vedes que eu tenho. 40 E, dizendo isso, 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: 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 dos mortos; 47 e, em seu nome, se pregasse o arrependimento e a remissão dos pecados, em todas as nações, começando por Jerusalém. 48 E dessas 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 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 Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. 2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. 3 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: 5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? 6 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, 7 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. 8 And they remembered his words, 9 And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest. 10 It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles. 11 And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not. 12 Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.

13 And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs. 14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened. 15 And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them. 16 But their eyes were holden that they should not know him. 17 And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad? 18 And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days? 19 And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which 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 to be condemned to death, and have crucified him. 21 But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done. 22 Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre; 23 And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive. 24 And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not. 25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: 26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? 27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. 28 And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further. 29 But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them. 30 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, 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 another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures? 33 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were 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 he was known of them in breaking of bread.

36 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. 37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit. 38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? 39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. 40 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet. 41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat? 42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. 43 And he took it, and did eat before them. 44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. 45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, 46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: 47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all 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 tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.

50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. 51 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven. 52 And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy: 53 And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
