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 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.
