1 But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they and some others came to the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared. 2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb. 3 They entered in, and didn’t find the Lord Jesus’ body. 4 While they were greatly perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling clothing. 5 Becoming terrified, they bowed their faces down to the earth.
The men said to them, "Why do you seek the living among the dead? 6 He isn’t here, but is risen. Remember what he told you when he was still in Galilee, 7 saying that the Son of Man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men and be crucified, and the third day rise again?"
8 They remembered his words, 9 returned from the tomb, and told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. 10 Now they were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James. The other women with them told these things to the apostles. 11 These words seemed to them to be nonsense, and they didn’t believe them. 12 But Peter got up and ran to the tomb. Stooping and looking in, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he departed to his home, wondering what had happened.
13 Behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was sixty stadia from Jerusalem. 14 They talked with each other about all of these things which had happened. 15 While they talked and questioned together, Jesus himself came near, and went with them. 16 But their eyes were kept from recognizing him. 17 He said to them, "What are you talking about as you walk, and are sad?"
18 One of them, named Cleopas, answered him, "Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who doesn’t know the things which have happened there in these days?"
19 He said to them, "What things?"
They said to him, "The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, 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 be condemned to death, and crucified him. 21 But we were hoping that it was he who would redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened. 22 Also, certain women of our company amazed us, having arrived early at the tomb; 23 and when they didn’t find his body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive. 24 Some of us went to the tomb and found it just like the women had said, but they didn’t see him."
25 He said to them, "Foolish people, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! 26 Didn’t the Christ have to suffer these things and to enter into his glory?" 27 Beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.
28 They came near to the village where they were going, and he acted like he would go further.
29 They urged him, saying, "Stay with us, for it is almost evening, and the day is almost over."
He went in to stay with them. 30 When he had sat down at the table with them, he took the bread and gave thanks. Breaking it, he gave it to them. 31 Their eyes were opened and they recognized him; then he vanished out of their sight. 32 They said to one another, "Weren’t our hearts burning within us while he spoke to us along the way, and while he opened the Scriptures to us?" 33 They rose up that very hour, returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and those who were with them, 34 saying, "The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!" 35 They related the things that happened along the way, and how he was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.
36 As they said these things, Jesus himself stood among them, and said to them, "Peace be to you."
37 But they were terrified and filled with fear, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
38 He said to them, "Why are you troubled? Why do doubts arise in your hearts? 39 See my hands and my feet, that it is truly me. Touch me and see, for a spirit doesn’t have flesh and bones, as you see that I have." 40 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet. 41 While they still didn’t believe for joy, and wondered, he said to them, "Do you have anything here to eat?"
42 They gave him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb. 43 He took them, and ate in front of them. 44 He said to them, "This is what I told you while I was still with you, that all things which are written in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms concerning me must be fulfilled."
45 Then he opened their minds, that they might understand the Scriptures. 46 He said to them, "Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the 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 to all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 48 You are witnesses of these things. 49 Behold, I send out the promise of my Father on you. But wait in the city of Jerusalem until you are clothed with power from on high."
50 He led them out as far as Bethany, and he lifted up his hands and blessed them. 51 While he blessed them, he withdrew from them and was carried up into heaven. 52 They worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy, 53 and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
1 礼拜日大清早的时候， 妇女们带着预备好的香料， 来到坟墓那里，
2 发现石头已经从坟墓辊开了，
3 就进去， 却找不着主耶稣的身体。
4 她们正为此事猜疑的时候， 忽然有两个人， 穿着闪烁耀目的衣服， 站在她们旁边。
5 她们害怕， 把脸伏在地上。那两个人对她们说： "为什么在死人中找活人呢？
6 他不在这里， 已经复活了。你们应当记得他还在加利利的时候， 怎样告诉你们，
7 说： ‘人子必须被交在罪人手里， 钉在十字架上， 第三日复活。’"
8 她们就想起他的话，
9 于是从坟地回去， 把这一切事告诉十一个使徒和其余的人。
10 那些妇女就是抹大拉的马利亚， 约亚拿和雅各的母亲马利亚， 以及其他在一起的妇女， 她们把这些事向使徒说了。
11 使徒以为这些话是无稽之谈， 就不相信。
12 彼得却起来跑到坟墓那里， 屈身往里观看， 只见细麻布在那里， 就回去了， 对所发生的事非常惊奇。
13 同一天， 门徒中有两个人往一个叫以马午斯的村子去， 那村子距耶路撒冷约十一公里；
14 他们彼此谈论所发生的这一切事。
15 正在交谈议论的时候， 耶稣亲自走近他们， 与他们同行，
16 但他们的眼睛却给蒙蔽了， 认不出他来。
17 耶稣说： "你们走路的时候， 彼此讨论的是什么事呢？"他们就站住， 面带愁容；
18 一个名叫革流巴的回答他： "在耶路撒冷作客的， 难道只有你不知道这几天在那里所发生的事吗？"
19 他说： "什么事呢？"他们说： "就是拿撒勒人耶稣的事。他是先知， 在 神和众人面前， 说话行事都有大能。
20 我们的祭司长和官长， 竟把他交出去， 判了死罪， 钉在十字架上。
21 但我们素来盼望要救赎以色列的就是他。不但这样， 这些事发生到今天， 已经是第三天了。
22 而且我们中间有几个妇女使我们惊奇， 她们清早到坟墓那里去，
23 却找不到他的身体。她们回来说看见天使显现， 天使说他活了。
24 又有我们中间的几个人到坟墓那里去， 所看见的正如妇女们所说的， 只是没有看见他。"
25 耶稣说： "无知的人哪， 先知所说的一切话， 你们心里信得太迟钝了！
26 基督这样受害， 然后进入他的荣耀， 不是应当的吗？"
27 于是他从摩西和众先知起， 把所有关于自己的经文， 都给他们解释明白了。
28 他们走近要去的村子， 他好像还要往前行，
29 他们强留他说： "天晚了， 太阳下山了， 请与我们同住吧！ "他就进去与他们同住。
30 到了吃饭的时候， 他拿起饼来， 感谢了， 擘开递给他们，
31 他们的眼睛开了， 才认出是耶稣来； 他却从他们面前不见了。
32 他们彼此说： "在路上他对我们说话， 给我们解释圣经的时候， 我们的心不是火热的吗？"
33 他们就立时起来回耶路撒冷去。在那里遇见十一个使徒和跟他们聚在一起的人，
34 说： "主果然复活了， 已经向西门显现了。"
35 两个人就把在路上的事， 和擘饼的时候他们怎样认出耶稣来的事， 都述说了一遍。
36 正说这话的时候， 耶稣亲自站在他们当中， 说： "愿你们平安。"
37 他们非常惊怕， 以为看见了灵。
38 他说： "你们为什么惊慌， 为什么心里疑惑呢？
39 你们看我的手、我的脚， 就知道我是谁。摸我看看， 灵没有骨， 没有肉； 你们看， 我是有的。"
40 说了这话， 就把手和脚给他们看。
41 他们欢喜到不敢相信， 并且很惊奇。耶稣说： "你们这里有什么吃的没有？"
42 他们就给了他一片烧鱼。
43 他接过来， 在他们面前吃了。
44 主对他们说： "这就是我从前与你们同在的时候， 对你们说过的话： 摩西的律法、先知书和诗篇上所记关于我的一切事， 都必定应验。"
45 于是他开他们的心窍， 使他们明白圣经；
46 又说： "经上这样记着： 基督必须受害， 第三天从死人中复活。
47 人要奉他的名， 传讲悔改与赦罪的道， 从耶路撒冷起， 直传到万国。
48 你们就是这些事的见证。
49 我要使我父的应许临到你们身上， 你们当在城里等候， 直到得着从上面来的能力。"
50 主带他们出去， 到了伯大尼附近， 举手给他们祝福。
51 正在祝福的时候， 他就离开他们， 被接到天上去了。
52 他们就敬拜他， 欢欢喜喜地回到耶路撒冷，
53 常常在殿里称颂 神。
