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.
1 No primeiro dia da semana, muito cedo, dirigiram-se ao sepulcro com os aromas que haviam preparado.
2 Acharam a pedra removida longe da abertura do sepulcro.
3 Entraram, mas não encontraram o corpo do Senhor Jesus.
4 Não sabiam elas o que pensar, quando apareceram em frente delas dois personagens com vestes resplandecentes.
5 Como estivessem amedrontadas e voltassem o rosto para o chão, disseram-lhes eles: Por que buscais entre os mortos aquele que está vivo?
6 Não está aqui, mas ressuscitou. Lembrai-vos de como ele vos disse, quando ainda estava na Galiléia:
7 O Filho do Homem deve ser entregue nas mãos dos pecadores e crucificado, mas ressuscitará ao terceiro dia.
8 Então elas se lembraram das palavras de Jesus.
9 Voltando do sepulcro, contaram tudo isso aos Onze e a todos os demais.
10 Eram elas Maria Madalena, Joana e Maria, mãe de Tiago; as outras suas amigas relataram aos apóstolos a mesma coisa.
11 Mas essas notícias pareciam-lhes como um delírio, e não lhes deram crédito.
12 Contudo, Pedro correu ao sepulcro; inclinando-se para olhar, viu só os panos de linho na terra. Depois, retirou-se para a sua casa, admirado do que acontecera.
13 Nesse mesmo dia, dois discípulos caminhavam para uma aldeia chamada Emaús, distante de Jerusalém sessenta estádios.
14 Iam falando um com o outro de tudo o que se tinha passado.
15 Enquanto iam conversando e discorrendo entre si, o mesmo Jesus aproximou-se deles e caminhava com eles.
16 Mas os olhos estavam-lhes como que vendados e não o reconheceram.
17 Perguntou-lhes, então: De que estais falando pelo caminho, e por que estais tristes?
18 Um deles, chamado Cléofas, respondeu-lhe: És tu acaso o único forasteiro em Jerusalém que não sabe o que nela aconteceu estes dias?
19 Perguntou-lhes ele: Que foi? Disseram: A respeito de Jesus de Nazaré... Era um profeta poderoso em obras e palavras, diante de Deus e de todo o povo.
20 Os nossos sumos sacerdotes e os nossos magistrados o entregaram para ser condenado à morte e o crucificaram.
21 Nós esperávamos que fosse ele quem havia de restaurar Israel e agora, além de tudo isto, é hoje o terceiro dia que essas coisas sucederam.
22 É verdade que algumas mulheres dentre nós nos alarmaram. Elas foram ao sepulcro, antes do nascer do sol;
23 e não tendo achado o seu corpo, voltaram, dizendo que tiveram uma visão de anjos, os quais asseguravam que está vivo.
24 Alguns dos nossos foram ao sepulcro e acharam assim como as mulheres tinham dito, mas a ele mesmo não viram.
25 Jesus lhes disse: Ó gente sem inteligência! Como sois tardos de coração para crerdes em tudo o que anunciaram os profetas!
26 Porventura não era necessário que Cristo sofresse essas coisas e assim entrasse na sua glória?
27 E começando por Moisés, percorrendo todos os profetas, explicava-lhes o que dele se achava dito em todas as Escrituras.
28 Aproximaram-se da aldeia para onde iam e ele fez como se quisesse passar adiante.
29 Mas eles forçaram-no a parar: Fica conosco, já é tarde e já declina o dia. Entrou então com eles.
30 Aconteceu que, estando sentado conjuntamente à mesa, ele tomou o pão, abençoou-o, partiu-o e serviu-lho.
31 Então se lhes abriram os olhos e o reconheceram... mas ele desapareceu.
32 Diziam então um para o outro: Não se nos abrasava o coração, quando ele nos falava pelo caminho e nos explicava as Escrituras?
33 Levantaram-se na mesma hora e voltaram a Jerusalém. Aí acharam reunidos os Onze e os que com eles estavam.
34 Todos diziam: O Senhor ressuscitou verdadeiramente e apareceu a Simão.
35 Eles, por sua parte, contaram o que lhes havia acontecido no caminho e como o tinham reconhecido ao partir o pão.
36 Enquanto ainda falavam dessas coisas, Jesus apresentou-se no meio deles e disse-lhes: A paz esteja convosco!
37 Perturbados e espantados, pensaram estar vendo um espírito.
38 Mas ele lhes disse: Por que estais perturbados, e por que essas dúvidas nos vossos corações?
39 Vede minhas mãos e meus pés, sou eu mesmo; apalpai e vede: um espírito não tem carne nem ossos, como vedes que tenho.
40 E, dizendo isso, mostrou-lhes as mãos e os pés.
41 Mas, vacilando eles ainda e estando transportados de alegria, perguntou: Tendes aqui alguma coisa para comer?
42 Então ofereceram-lhe um pedaço de peixe assado.
43 Ele tomou e comeu à vista deles.
44 Depois lhes disse: Isto é o que vos dizia quando ainda estava convosco: era necessário que se cumprisse tudo o que de mim está escrito na Lei de Moisés, nos profetas e nos Salmos.
45 Abriu-lhes então o espírito, para que compreendessem as Escrituras, dizendo:
46 Assim é que está escrito, e assim era necessário que Cristo padecesse, mas que ressurgisse dos mortos ao terceiro dia.
47 E que em seu nome se pregasse a penitência e a remissão dos pecados a todas as nações, começando por Jerusalém.
48 Vós sois as testemunhas de tudo isso.
49 Eu vos mandarei o Prometido de meu Pai; entretanto, permanecei na cidade, até que sejais revestidos da força do alto.
50 Depois os levou para Betânia e, levantando as mãos, os abençoou.
51 Enquanto os abençoava, separou-se deles e foi arrebatado ao céu.
52 Depois de o terem adorado, voltaram para Jerusalém com grande júbilo.
53 E permaneciam no templo, louvando e bendizendo a Deus.
