1 Mas, no primeiro dia da semana, alta madrugada, foram elas ao túmulo, levando os aromas que haviam preparado. 2 E encontraram a pedra removida do sepulcro; 3 mas, ao entrarem, não acharam o corpo do Senhor Jesus. 4 Aconteceu que, perplexas a esse respeito, apareceram-lhes dois varões com vestes resplandecentes. 5 Estando elas possuídas de temor, baixando os olhos para o chão, eles lhes falaram: Por que buscais entre os mortos ao que vive? 6 Ele não está aqui, mas ressuscitou. Lembrai-vos de como vos preveniu, estando ainda na Galileia, 7 quando disse: Importa que o Filho do Homem seja entregue nas mãos de pecadores, e seja crucificado, e ressuscite no terceiro dia. 8 Então, se lembraram das suas palavras. 9 E, voltando do túmulo, anunciaram todas estas coisas aos onze e a todos os mais que com eles estavam. 10 Eram Maria Madalena, Joana e Maria, mãe de Tiago; também as demais que estavam com elas confirmaram estas coisas aos apóstolos. 11 Tais palavras lhes pareciam um como delírio, e não acreditaram nelas. 12 Pedro, porém, levantando-se, correu ao sepulcro. E, abaixando-se, nada mais viu, senão os lençóis de linho; e retirou-se para casa, maravilhado do que havia acontecido.

13 Naquele mesmo dia, dois deles estavam de caminho para uma aldeia chamada Emaús, distante de Jerusalém sessenta estádios. 14 E iam conversando a respeito de todas as coisas sucedidas. 15 Aconteceu que, enquanto conversavam e discutiam, o próprio Jesus se aproximou e ia com eles. 16 Os seus olhos, porém, estavam como que impedidos de o reconhecer. 17 Então, lhes perguntou Jesus: Que é isso que vos preocupa e de que ides tratando à medida que caminhais? E eles pararam entristecidos. 18 Um, porém, chamado Cleopas, respondeu, dizendo: És o único, porventura, que, tendo estado em Jerusalém, ignoras as ocorrências destes últimos dias? 19 Ele lhes perguntou: Quais? E explicaram: O que aconteceu a Jesus, o Nazareno, que era varão 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 Ora, nós esperávamos que fosse ele quem havia de redimir a Israel; mas, depois de tudo isto, é já este o terceiro dia desde que tais coisas sucederam. 22 É verdade também que algumas mulheres, das que conosco estavam, nos surpreenderam, tendo ido de madrugada ao túmulo; 23 e, não achando o corpo de Jesus, voltaram dizendo terem tido uma visão de anjos, os quais afirmam que ele vive. 24 De fato, alguns dos nossos foram ao sepulcro e verificaram a exatidão do que disseram as mulheres; mas não o viram. 25 Então, lhes disse Jesus: Ó néscios e tardos de coração para crer tudo o que os profetas disseram! 26 Porventura, não convinha que o Cristo padecesse e entrasse na sua glória? 27 E, começando por Moisés, discorrendo por todos os Profetas, expunha-lhes o que a seu respeito constava em todas as Escrituras.

28 Quando se aproximavam da aldeia para onde iam, fez ele menção de passar adiante. 29 Mas eles o constrangeram, dizendo: Fica conosco, porque é tarde, e o dia já declina. E entrou para ficar com eles. 30 E aconteceu que, quando estavam à mesa, tomando ele o pão, abençoou-o e, tendo-o partido, lhes deu; 31 então, se lhes abriram os olhos, e o reconheceram; mas ele desapareceu da presença deles. 32 E disseram um ao outro: Porventura, não nos ardia o coração, quando ele, pelo caminho, nos falava, quando nos expunha as Escrituras? 33 E, na mesma hora, levantando-se, voltaram para Jerusalém, onde acharam reunidos os onze e outros com eles, 34 os quais diziam: O Senhor ressuscitou e já apareceu a Simão! 35 Então, os dois contaram o que lhes acontecera no caminho e como fora por eles reconhecido no partir do pão.

36 Falavam ainda estas coisas quando Jesus apareceu no meio deles e lhes disse: Paz seja convosco! 37 Eles, porém, surpresos e atemorizados, acreditavam estarem vendo um espírito. 38 Mas ele lhes disse: Por que estais perturbados? E por que sobem dúvidas ao vosso coração? 39 Vede as minhas mãos e os meus pés, que sou eu mesmo; apalpai-me e verificai, porque um espírito não tem carne nem ossos, como vedes que eu tenho. 40 Dizendo isto, mostrou-lhes as mãos e os pés. 41 E, por não acreditarem eles ainda, por causa da alegria, e estando admirados, Jesus lhes disse: Tendes aqui alguma coisa que comer? 42 Então, lhe apresentaram um pedaço de peixe assado [e um favo de mel]. 43 E ele comeu na presença deles.

44 A seguir, Jesus lhes disse: São estas as palavras que eu vos falei, estando ainda convosco: importava se cumprisse tudo o que de mim está escrito na Lei de Moisés, nos Profetas e nos Salmos. 45 Então, lhes abriu o entendimento para compreenderem as Escrituras; 46 e lhes disse: Assim está escrito que o Cristo havia de padecer e ressuscitar dentre os mortos no terceiro dia 47 e que em seu nome se pregasse arrependimento para remissão de pecados a todas as nações, começando de Jerusalém. 48 Vós sois testemunhas destas coisas. 49 Eis que envio sobre vós a promessa de meu Pai; permanecei, pois, na cidade, até que do alto sejais revestidos de poder.

50 Então, os levou para Betânia e, erguendo as mãos, os abençoou. 51 Aconteceu que, enquanto os abençoava, ia-se retirando deles, sendo elevado para o céu. 52 Então, eles, adorando-o, voltaram para Jerusalém, tomados de grande júbilo; 53 e estavam sempre no templo, louvando a Deus.

1 But on the first day of the week at early dawn they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared.2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,3 but when they went in, they didn't find the body of the Lord Jesus.4 While they were puzzling over this, two men in dazzling robes suddenly stood beside them.5 Because the women were terrified and were bowing their faces to the ground, the men asked them, "Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is living?6 He is not here but has been raised. Remember what he told you while he was still in Galilee,7 ‘the Son of Man must be handed over to sinful men, be crucified, and rise on the third day.’"8 Then they remembered his words.9 They returned from the tomb and reported all these things to the eleven and all the others.10 The women who told the apostles about it were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and some others.11 But these words seemed nonsense to them, and they wouldn't believe them.12 Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. He stooped down and saw only the linen cloths. Then he went home wondering about what had happened.13 On the 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 all these things that had taken place.15 While they were talking and discussing, Jesus himself approached and began to walk with them,16 but their eyes were prevented from recognizing him.17 He asked them,"What are you discussing with each other as you're walking along?" They stood still and looked gloomy.18 The one whose name was Cleopas answered him, "Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who doesn't know what happened there these days?"19 He asked them,"What things?"They answered him, "The things about Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet, mighty in the things that he did and said before God and all the people,20 and how our high priests and leaders handed him over to be condemned to death and had him crucified.21 But we kept hoping that he would be the one to redeem Israel. What is more, this is now the third day since these things occurred.22 Even some of our women have startled us! They were at the tomb early this morning23 and didn't find his body there, so they came back and told us that they had actually seen a vision of angels who said he was alive.24 Then some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they didn't see him."25 Then Jesus said to them,"O how foolish you are and how slow of heart to believe everything the prophets said!26 The Christhad to suffer these things and then enter his glory, didn't he?"27 Then, beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them all the passages of Scripture about himself.28 As they came near the village where they were going, he acted as though he were going on farther.29 But they urged him strongly, "Stay with us, for it is almost evening and the day is almost gone." So he went in to stay with them.30 While he was at the table with them, he took the bread, blessed it, broke it in pieces, and gave it to them.31 Then their eyes were opened, and they knew who he was. And he vanished from them.32 Then they said to each other, "Our hearts kept burning within us as he was talking to us on the road and explaining the Scriptures to us, didn't they?"33 That same hour they got up and went back to Jerusalem and found the eleven and their companions all together.34 They kept saying, "The Lord has really risen and has appeared to Simon!"35 Then they themselves began to tell what had happened on the road and how he was recognized by them when he broke the bread in pieces.36 While they were talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them,"Peace be with you."37 They were startled and terrified, thinking they were seeing a ghost.38 He said to them,"Why are you frightened, and why are doubts arising in your hearts?39 Look at my hands and my feet, for it is I myself. Touch me and see, for a ghost doesn't have flesh and bones as you see that I have."40 After he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.41 While they still could not believe it for joy and were full of amazement, he said to 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 Then he said to them,"These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you—that everything written about me in the law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms had to be fulfilled."45 Then he opened their minds so that they might come to understand the Scriptures.46 He said to them,"Thus it is written, that the Christwas to suffer and to rise from the dead on the third day,47 and that repentance and forgiveness of sins is to be proclaimed in his name to all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.48 You are witnesses of these things.49 I am sending on you what my Father promised. But stay here in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high."50 Then he led them out as far as Bethany, lifted up his hands, and blessed them.51 While he was blessing them, he parted from them and was taken up to heaven.52 They worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy.53 And they were continually in the temple blessing God.
