1 Mutta viikon ensimmäisenä päivänä ani varhain he tulivat haudalle, tuoden mukanaan valmistamansa hyvänhajuiset yrtit.

2 Ja he havaitsivat kiven vieritetyksi pois haudalta.

3 Niin he menivät sisään, mutta eivät löytäneet Herran Jeesuksen ruumista.

4 Ja kun he olivat tästä ymmällä, niin katso, kaksi miestä seisoi heidän edessään säteilevissä vaatteissa.

6 Ei hän ole täällä, hän on noussut ylös. Muistakaa, kuinka hän puhui teille vielä ollessaan Galileassa,

8 Niin he muistivat hänen sanansa.

9 Ja he palasivat haudalta ja veivät sanan tästä kaikesta niille yhdelletoista ja kaikille muille.

10 Ja ne, jotka kertoivat tämän apostoleille, olivat Maria Magdaleena ja Johanna ja Maria, Jaakobin äiti, ja muut naiset heidän kanssansa.

11 Mutta näiden puheet näyttivät heistä turhilta, eivätkä he uskoneet heitä.

12 Mutta Pietari nousi ja juoksi haudalle; ja kun hän kurkisti sisään, näki hän siellä ainoastaan käärinliinat. Ja hän meni pois ihmetellen itsekseen sitä, mikä oli tapahtunut.

13 Ja katso, kaksi heistä kulki sinä päivänä Emmaus nimiseen kylään, joka on kuudenkymmenen vakomitan päässä Jerusalemista.

14 Ja he puhelivat keskenään kaikesta tästä, mikä oli tapahtunut.

15 Ja heidän keskustellessaan ja tutkistellessaan tapahtui, että Jeesus itse lähestyi heitä ja kulki heidän kanssansa.

16 Mutta heidän silmänsä olivat pimitetyt, niin etteivät he tunteneet häntä.

20 kuinka meidän ylipappimme ja hallitusmiehemme antoivat hänet tuomittavaksi kuolemaan ja ristiinnaulitsivat hänet.

21 Mutta me toivoimme hänen olevan sen, joka oli lunastava Israelin. Ja onhan kaiken tämän lisäksi nyt jo kolmas päivä siitä, kuin nämä tapahtuivat.

22 Ovatpa vielä muutamat naiset joukostamme saattaneet meidät hämmästyksiin. He kävivät aamulla varhain haudalla

23 eivätkä löytäneet hänen ruumistaan, ja tulivat ja sanoivat myös nähneensä enkelinäyn, ja enkelit olivat sanoneet hänen elävän.

27 Ja hän alkoi Mooseksesta ja kaikista profeetoista ja selitti heille, mitä hänestä oli kaikissa kirjoituksissa sanottu.

28 Ja kun he lähestyivät kylää, johon olivat menossa, niin hän oli aikovinaan kulkea edemmäksi.

30 Ja tapahtui, kun hän oli aterialla heidän kanssaan, että hän otti leivän, siunasi, mursi ja antoi heille.

31 Silloin heidän silmänsä aukenivat, ja he tunsivat hänet. Ja hän katosi heidän näkyvistään.

33 Ja he nousivat sillä hetkellä ja palasivat Jerusalemiin ja tapasivat ne yksitoista kokoontuneina ja ne, jotka olivat heidän kanssansa.

35 Ja itse he kertoivat, mitä oli tapahtunut tiellä ja kuinka he olivat hänet tunteneet, kun hän mursi leivän.

37 Niin heidät valtasi säikähdys ja pelko, ja he luulivat näkevänsä hengen.

40 Ja tämän sanottuaan hän näytti heille kätensä ja jalkansa.

42 Niin he antoivat hänelle palasen paistettua kalaa.

43 Ja hän otti ja söi heidän nähtensä.

45 Silloin hän avasi heidän ymmärryksensä käsittämään kirjoitukset.

47 ja että parannusta syntien anteeksisaamiseksi on saarnattava hänen nimessänsä kaikille kansoille, alkaen Jerusalemista.

48 Te olette tämän todistajat.

50 Sitten hän vei heidät pois, lähes Betaniaan asti, ja nosti kätensä ja siunasi heidät.

51 Ja tapahtui, että hän siunatessaan heitä erkani heistä, ja hänet otettiin ylös taivaaseen.

52 Ja he kumarsivat häntä ja palasivat Jerusalemiin suuresti iloiten.

53 Ja he olivat alati pyhäkössä ja ylistivät Jumalaa.

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.
