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 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.
