1 E no primeiro dia da semana, muito de madrugada, foram elas ao sepulcro, levando as especiarias que tinham preparado, e algumas outras com elas.

2 E acharam a pedra revolvida do sepulcro.

3 E, entrando, não acharam o corpo do Senhor Jesus.

4 E aconteceu que, estando elas muito perplexas a esse respeito, eis que pararam junto delas dois homens, com vestes resplandecentes.

5 E, estando elas muito atemorizadas, e abaixando o rosto para o chão, eles lhes disseram: Por que buscais o vivente entre os mortos?

6 Não está aqui, mas ressuscitou. Lembrai-vos como vos falou, estando ainda na Galiléia,

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 estas 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 lençóis 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 Cléopas, 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 Nazareno, que foi homem 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, sobre 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, a ele 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 estas 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, tornaram 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 fora conhecido no partir do pão.

36 E falando eles destas 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 aos vossos corações?

39 Vede as minhas mãos e os meus pés, que sou eu mesmo; apalpai-me e vede, pois um espírito não tem carne nem ossos, como vedes que eu tenho.

40 E, dizendo isto, 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: Que 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 dentre os mortos,

47 E em seu nome se pregasse o arrependimento e a remissão dos pecados, em todas as nações, começando por Jerusalém.

48 E destas 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 suas 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 On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb.

2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,

3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

4 While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them.

5 In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, "Why do you look for the living among the dead?

6 He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee:

7 'The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.' "

8 Then they remembered his words.

9 When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others.

10 It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles.

11 But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense.

12 Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. Bending over, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he went away, wondering to himself what had happened.

13 Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles "from Jerusalem.

14 They were talking with each other about everything that had happened.

15 As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them;

16 but they were kept from recognizing him.

17 He asked them, "What are you discussing together as you walk along?" They stood still, their faces downcast.

18 One of them, named Cleopas, asked him, "Are you the only one visiting Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?"

19 "What things?" he asked. "About Jesus of Nazareth," they replied. "He was a prophet, powerful in word and deed before God and all the people.

20 The chief priests and our rulers handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him;

21 but we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. And what is more, it is the third day since all this took place.

22 In addition, some of our women amazed us. They went to the tomb early this morning

23 but didn't find his body. They came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who said he was alive.

24 Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see Jesus."

25 He said to them, "How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

26 Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?"

27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.

28 As they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus continued on as if he were going farther.

29 But they urged him strongly, "Stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over." So he went in to stay with them.

30 When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them.

31 Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight.

32 They asked each other, "Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?"

33 They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, assembled together

34 and saying, "It is true! The Lord has risen and has appeared to Simon."

35 Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread.

36 While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you."

37 They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost.

38 He said to them, "Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds?

39 Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have."

40 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet.

41 And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, "Do you have anything here to eat?"

42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish,

43 and he took it and ate it in their presence.

44 He said to them, "This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms."

45 Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures.

46 He told them, "This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,

47 and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

48 You are witnesses of these things.

49 I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high."

50 When he had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany, he lifted up his hands and blessed them.

51 While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up into heaven.

52 Then they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy.

53 And they stayed continually at the temple, praising God.
