1 mas no primeiro dia da semana foram elas muito cedo ao túmulo, levando os aromas que haviam preparado.
2 Acharam a pedra removida do túmulo
3 e, entrando ali, não acharam o corpo do Senhor Jesus.
4 Ficando perplexas por causa disto, eis que apareceram ao lado delas dois varões com vestes resplandecentes;
5 como estivessem amedrontadas e olhassem para o chão, eles lhes disseram: Por que buscais entre os mortos ao que vive?
6 Ele não está aqui, mas ressuscitou. Lembrai-vos de como ele vos falou, quando estava ainda na Galiléia,
7 dizendo: O Filho do homem deve ser entregue às mãos de pecadores, e ser crucificado e ressuscitar ao terceiro dia.
8 Então se lembraram das suas palavras
9 e, voltando do túmulo, contaram todas estas coisas aos onze e a todos os mais.
10 Eram Maria Madalena, Joana, e Maria, mãe de Tiago; também as outras que estavam com elas, relataram estas coisas aos apóstolos.
11 Estas palavras pareceram-lhes um como delírio, e não acreditaram nelas.
12 Mas Pedro, levantando-se, correu ao túmulo. Abaixando-se, viu somente os panos de linho que ali ficaram; e retirou-se para casa, maravilhado do que havia acontecido.
13 No mesmo dia dois deles caminhavam para uma aldeia chamada Emaús, distante de Jerusalém sessenta estádios;
14 e iam falando um com o outro de tudo o que se tinha passado.
15 Enquanto conversavam e discutiam, o mesmo Jesus aproximou-se deles, e acompanhava-os;
16 mas os olhos deles não o puderam reconhecer.
17 Então lhes perguntou Jesus: Que falais um com o outro pelo caminho? E pararam tristes.
18 Um deles chamado Cléopas, respondeu-lhe: És tu o único que, estando em Jerusalém, não sabes o que ali tem acontecido nestes dias?
19 Replicou-lhes: Que? Disseram-lhe: O que aconteceu 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 sacerdotes e as nossas autoridades o entregaram para ser condenado à morte, e o crucificaram.
21 Mas nós esperávamos que fosse ele quem havia de resgatar a Israel; além de tudo isto, é já este o terceiro dia depois que estas coisas sucederam.
22 Por outro lado certas mulheres, das que conosco estavam, nos encheram de pasmo, tendo ido de madrugada ao túmulo,
23 e não havendo achado o seu corpo, voltaram, declarando que tinham visto anjos, os quais diziam estar ele vivo.
24 Alguns dos nossos foram ao túmulo e acharam que era assim como as mulheres haviam dito, mas a ele não o viram.
25 Disse-lhes Jesus: Ó néscios, e tardos de coração para crerdes tudo o que os profetas disseram!
26 Porventura não importava que o Cristo padecesse estas coisas e assim entrasse na sua glória?
27 Começando por Moisés e por todos os profetas, explicou-lhes o que dele se achava dito em todas as Escrituras.
28 Aproximando-se da aldeia para onde iam, deu ele a entender que ia para mais longe.
29 Mas eles o constrangeram, dizendo: Fica em nossa companhia, porque é tarde e o dia já declinou. Ele entrou para ficar com eles.
30 Estando com eles à mesa, tomando o pão, deu graças, e, partindo-o, dava-lhes;
31 então se lhes abriram os olhos, e o reconheceram; mas ele desapareceu de diante deles.
32 Dizia um ao outro: Não se nos abrasava o coração, quando ele nos falava pelo caminho e nos explicava as Escrituras?
33 Na mesma hora levantaram-se, voltaram para Jerusalém e acharam reunidos os onze e os que com eles estavam, os quais
34 diziam: Realmente o Senhor ressurgiu e apareceu a Simão.
35 Os dois contaram o que havia acontecido no caminho, e como fora por eles conhecido no partir do pão.
36 Falando eles estas coisas, apresentou-se Jesus no meio deles e disse-lhes: Paz seja convosco.
37 Eles, porém, espantados e atemorizados, supunham ver um espírito.
38 Mas ele lhes disse: Por que vos turbais? e por que se levantam dúvidas em vossos corações?
39 Olhai para as minhas mãos e os meus pés, pois sou eu mesmo; apalpai-me e vede, porque um espírito não tem carne nem ossos, como vedes que eu tenho.
40 Dizendo isto, mostrou-lhes as mãos e os pés.
41 Não acreditando eles ainda por causa da sua alegria e estando maravilhados, perguntou-lhes Jesus: Tendes aqui alguma coisa que comer?
42 Deram-lhe um pedaço de peixe assado;
43 e tomando-o, comeu diante deles.
44 Depois lhes disse: Estas são as palavras que eu vos disse, quando ainda estava convosco, que importava se cumprisse tudo o que de mim estava escrito na lei de Moisés, nos profetas e nos salmos.
45 Então lhes abriu o entendimento para que compreendessem as Escrituras;
46 e disse-lhes: Assim está escrito que o Cristo padecesse e ressurgisse dentre os mortos ao terceiro dia,
47 e que em seu nome se pregasse arrependimento para remissão de pecados a todas as nações, começando por Jerusalém.
48 Vós sois testemunhas destas coisas.
49 Eis que eu vou enviar sobre vós a promessa de meu Pai; mas vós permanecei na cidade, até que sejais revestidos de poder lá do alto.
50 Ele os levou até Betânia e, levantando as mãos, os abençoou.
51 Enquanto os abençoava, apartou-se deles, e foi elevado ao céu.
52 Eles, tendo-o adorado, voltaram para Jerusalém com grande gozo;
53 e estavam continuamente no templo bendizendo a Deus.
1 But on the first day of the week, at dawn, they came to the place where his body had been put, taking the spices which they had got ready.
2 And they saw that the stone had been rolled away.
3 And they went in, but the body of the Lord Jesus was not there.
4 And while they were in doubt about it, they saw two men in shining clothing by them:
5 And while their faces were bent down to the earth in fear, these said to them, Why are you looking for the living among the dead?
6 He is not here, he has come back to life: have in mind what he said to you when he was still in Galilee, saying,
7 The Son of man will be given up into the hands of evil-doers, and be put to death on the cross, and on the third day he will come back to life.
8 And his words came back into their minds,
9 And they went away from that place and gave an account of all these things to the eleven disciples and all the others.
10 Now they were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary, the mother of James: and the other women with them said these things to the Apostles.
11 But these words seemed foolish to them, and they had no belief in them.
12 But Peter got up and went to the place where the body had been put, and looking in he saw nothing but the linen cloths, and he went to his house full of wonder at what had taken place.
13 And then, two of them, on that very day, were going to a little town named Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem.
14 And they were talking together about all those things which had taken place.
15 And while they were talking and questioning together, Jesus himself came near and went with them.
16 But their eyes were not open that they might have knowledge of him.
17 And he said to them, What are you talking about together while you go?
18 Then stopping, and looking sadly at him, one of them, named Cleopas, said to him, Are you the only man living in Jerusalem who has not had news of the things which have taken place there at this time?
19 And he said to them, What things? And they said, The things to do with Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet, great in his acts and his words, before God and all the people:
20 And how the chief priests and our rulers gave him up to be put to death on the cross.
21 But we were hoping that he would be the Saviour of Israel. In addition to all this he has now let three days go by from the time when these things took place;
22 And certain women among us gave us cause for wonder, for they went early to the place where his body had been put,
23 And it was not there; then they came saying that they had seen a vision of angels who said that he was living.
24 And some of those who were with us went to the place, and saw that it was as the women had said, but him they did not see.
25 And he said, O foolish men! how slow you are to give belief to what the prophets have said.
26 Was it not necessary for the Christ to go through these things, and to come into his glory?
27 And he made clear to them all the things in the Writings, from Moses and from all the prophets, which had to do with himself.
28 And they came near the town to which they were going, and he seemed as if he was going on;
29 But they kept him back, saying, Do not go, for evening is near, the day is almost gone. And he went in with them.
30 And when he was seated with them at table, he took the bread, and said words of blessing and, making division of it, he gave it to them.
31 And then their eyes were open, and they had knowledge of him, but he went from their view.
32 And they said to one another, Were not our hearts burning in us while he was talking to us on the way, making clear to us the holy Writings?
33 And that very hour they got up and went back to Jerusalem, where the eleven and the others had come together.
34 And they said to them, The Lord has truly come back to life again, and Simon has seen him.
35 And they gave an account of the things which had taken place on the way, and how, when he gave them bread, they had knowledge of him.
36 And while they were saying these things, he himself was among them, and said to them, Peace be with you!
37 But they were full of fear, being of the opinion that they were seeing a spirit.
38 And he said to them, Why are you troubled, and why are your hearts full of doubt?
39 See; my hands and my feet: it is I myself; put your hands on me and make certain; for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see that I have.
40 And when he had said this, he let them see his hands and his feet.
41 And because, for joy and wonder, they were still in doubt, he said to them, Have you any food here?
42 And they gave him a bit of cooked fish.
43 And before their eyes he took a meal.
44 And he said to them, These are the words which I said to you when I was still with you, how it was necessary for all the things which are in the writings of Moses and the prophets and in the Psalms about me, to be put into effect.
45 Then he made the holy Writings clear to their minds.
46 And he said to them, So it is in the Writings that the Christ would undergo death, and come back to life again on the third day;
47 And that teaching about a change of heart and forgiveness of sins is to be given to Jerusalem first and to all nations in his name.
48 You are witnesses of these things.
49 And now I will send to you what my father has undertaken to give you, but do not go from the town, till the power from heaven comes to you.
50 And he took them out till they were near Bethany, and lifting up his hands, he gave them a blessing.
51 And while he was doing so, he went from them and was taken up into heaven.
52 And they gave him worship and went back to Jerusalem with great joy.
53 And they were in the Temple at all times, giving praise to God.
