复活的清晨

24 在一周的头一天[a],一大清早,妇女们[b]带着预备好的香料来到墓穴那里,[c] 发现那石头已经从墓穴被滚开了。 她们就进去,却找不到主耶稣的遗体。 她们正为这件事心里困惑的时候,忽然有两个人,身穿闪闪发光的衣服,站在她们旁边。 妇女们吓得把脸伏在地上。

那两个人对她们说:“你们为什么在死人中寻找活人呢? 他不在这里,已经复活[d]了!你们当想起他还在加利利的时候怎样告诉你们, ‘人子必须被交在[e]罪人手中,被钉十字架,然后在第三天复活。’” 她们就想起耶稣的话来。

于是从墓穴回去,把这一切都告诉了那十一个使徒和所有其他的人。 10 告诉使徒们这些事的,是茉大拉玛丽亚约亚娜雅各的母亲[f]玛丽亚,还有其余和她们在一起的妇女。 11 可是这些话在使徒们看来似乎是胡说,他们就不相信妇女们。 12 彼得却起来,跑到了墓穴。他弯腰去看,只看见那细麻布条[g]。于是他就回去了,对所发生的事感到惊奇。

以马忤斯路上

13 正好在同一天,门徒中有两个人往一个村子去;这村子名叫以马忤斯,离耶路撒冷约有十一公里[h] 14 他们彼此谈论着所发生的这一切事。 15 在他们交谈讨论的时候,耶稣亲自走近他们,与他们同行, 16 但是他们的眼睛被遮蔽了,认不出他来。 17 耶稣问他们:“你们一路上彼此谈论的这些,到底是什么事呢?”他们就停住[i],面带愁容。

18 其中一个名叫克利奥帕的回答耶稣,说:“你在耶路撒冷作客,难道只有你还不知道这几天在那里所发生的事吗?”

19 耶稣问他们:“什么事呢?”

他们对他说:“就是有关拿撒勒人耶稣的事。这个人是一位先知,在神和全体民众面前说话行事都有能力。 20 我们的祭司长们和首领们竟把他交出去,判了死罪,钉上十字架。 21 不过我们一直希望他就是要救赎以色列的那一位。不但如此,从这些事发生到今天[j],已经是第三天了。 22 还有,我们中间有些妇女也使我们惊讶:她们清早到了墓穴, 23 却找不到他的遗体,回来还说她们看到了天使的异象,而天使说耶稣还活着。 24 后来,与我们在一起的一些人,到墓穴那里去,发现一切就像妇女们所说的那样。只是他们没有看见耶稣。”

25 耶稣对他们说:“唉,你们这些无知的人哪!对于信靠先知们所说的一切话,你们的心太迟钝了! 26 基督不是必须这样受难,然后才进入他的荣耀吗?” 27 于是耶稣从摩西和所有的先知开始,向他们解释了经上一切关于自己的话。

28 他们快到要去的村子了,耶稣好像还要往前走。 29 他们就极力挽留他,说:“时候晚了,太阳已经平西了,请与我们一起住下吧!”耶稣就进去,与他们一起住下。

30 当耶稣与他们一同坐席的时候,他拿起饼来,祝福了,然后掰开递给他们。 31 那时他们的眼睛就开了,这才认出他来,而耶稣从他们眼前消失了。 32 他们彼此说:“在路上他对我们说话,为我们讲解经文的时候,我们心里不是在燃烧吗?” 33 他们就立刻起身,回耶路撒冷去,见到那十一个使徒和与他们聚集在一起的人, 34 大家都在说:“主真的复活了,并且已经向西门显现了!” 35 两个人就把在路上所发生的,以及耶稣掰饼的时候怎样被他们认出来的事,都述说了一遍。

复活的确据

36 在他们说这些话的时候,耶稣[k]亲自站在他们当中,对他们说:“愿你们平安!”[l] 37 他们就惊慌,感到害怕,以为看到了幽灵。 38 耶稣对他们说:“你们为什么惊慌不安?为什么心里起疑惑呢? 39 你们看我的手、我的脚,确实是我。摸我看看!幽灵没有骨,也没有肉,你们看,我是有的。” 40 说了这话,他就把手和脚给他们看。[m] 41 他们又惊又喜,还不敢相信的时候,耶稣对他们说:“你们这里有什么吃的吗?” 42 他们递给他一片烤鱼[n] 43 他拿过来,当着他们的面吃了。

44 耶稣对他们说:“这就是我还与你们在一起的时候,对你们说过的话:摩西的律法、先知书和诗篇上所记的有关我的一切事,都必须应验。” 45 于是耶稣开启他们的理性,使他们能领悟经上的话, 46 又对他们说:“经上这样记着:基督必须[o]受难,然后在第三天从死人中复活, 47 并且人要奉他的名宣讲为罪得赦免的悔改[p],从耶路撒冷开始,直到万国。 48 你们就是这些事的见证人。 49 看哪!我要将我父所应许的差派到你们那里[q]。不过你们要留在城[r]里,直到领受[s]了从上面[t]来的能力。”

升天

50 耶稣领他们出去,到了伯大尼附近,就举起双手祝福他们。 51 他在祝福的时候离开他们,被接到天上去了[u] 52 他们就敬拜他[v],怀着极大的喜乐回耶路撒冷去, 53 常常在圣殿里颂赞[w]神。[x]

耶稣死里复活

24 周日黎明时分,几位妇女带着预备好的香料来到坟前, 发现墓口的大石头已经滚到旁边, 便进去,却没有看见主耶稣的遗体。 正在猜疑之间,突然有两个衣服发光的人站在旁边, 她们吓得俯伏在地。那两个人对她们说:“你们为什么在死人中找活人呢? 祂不在这里,已经复活了!记住祂在加利利对你们说的话, ‘人子必须被交在罪人的手中,被钉在十字架上,在第三天复活。’”

她们想起耶稣的话来, 便离开墓地回去把事情的经过告诉十一个使徒和其他人。 10 这些妇女就是抹大拉的玛丽亚、约亚娜、雅各的母亲玛丽亚及其他人。

11 大家听了都不相信,认为是无稽之谈。 12 彼得却起身跑到墓地,屈身往墓里张望,只见细麻布在那里,他便离开了,对发生的事大惑不解。

耶稣的显现

13 同一天,有两个门徒前往离耶路撒冷十一公里的以马忤斯村, 14 一路谈论着最近发生的一切事。 15 正谈论的时候,耶稣走过来和他们同行。 16 可是,他们认不出耶稣。

17 耶稣问他们:“你们一路上在谈论什么?”

他们停下脚步,满面愁容, 18 其中一个叫革流巴的说:“难道在耶路撒冷作客的人中,只有你不知道近日发生的大事吗?”

19 耶稣问:“什么事?”

他们说:“就是拿撒勒人耶稣的事。祂本来是个先知,在上帝和百姓面前言谈举止充满力量。 20 我们的祭司长和官长却把祂押去判了死刑,钉在十字架上。

21 “我们一直希望祂就是要拯救以色列的那位。还有,今天是事发后的第三天, 22 我们当中有几位妇女一早到耶稣的坟墓, 23 发现耶稣的遗体不见了,回来说天使曾向她们显现并告诉她们耶稣已经复活了。

24 “后来我们有几个人亲自去坟墓察看,果然像她们所说的,耶稣的遗体不见了。”

25 耶稣对他们说:“无知的人啊!为什么迟迟不肯相信先知的话呢? 26 基督岂不是要先这样受害,然后进入祂的荣耀吗?”

27 耶稣接着从摩西和众先知的记载开始,把有关自己的经文都向他们讲解明白。

28 快到以马忤斯村时,耶稣好像还要继续前行。 29 他们极力挽留祂,说:“天快黑了,时候不早了,跟我们一同住宿吧。”耶稣就和他们一起进村住下。

30 吃饭的时候,耶稣拿起饼来,祝谢后,掰开递给他们。 31 忽然他们眼睛明亮了,认出是耶稣。耶稣很快从他们眼前消失了。

32 二人彼此议论说:“一路上祂和我们说话、为我们解释圣经的时候,我们心里不是很火热吗?” 33 二人马上赶回耶路撒冷,看到十一位使徒及其同伴正聚在一起谈论: 34 “主真的复活了,祂向西门显现了。”

35 二人也把路上发生的事以及掰饼时认出主的经过述说了一遍。

36 正说的时候,耶稣出现在他们中间,说:“愿你们平安!” 37 他们又惊又怕,以为是看见了鬼魂。

38 耶稣说:“你们为什么忧心忡忡?为什么心存疑惑呢? 39 你们看我的手和脚,就知道真的是我。来摸摸看,鬼魂没有骨和肉,你们看!我有。” 40 说完,便伸出手和脚给他们看。

41 门徒又惊又喜,半信半疑。耶稣问:“你们这里有吃的吗?” 42 他们便给祂一片烤鱼, 43 祂接过鱼来在他们面前吃了。

44 耶稣对他们说:“我跟你们在一起的时候曾经说过,摩西的律法书、先知的书以及诗篇里有关我的记载都要应验。” 45 于是,耶稣开启了他们的心窍,使他们明白这些经文, 46 又对他们说:“圣经上说,基督必受害,然后在第三天从死里复活, 47 人们要奉祂的名传扬悔改、赦罪的福音,从耶路撒冷一直传遍万国。

48 “你们是这些事的见证人, 49 我要把我父所应许的赐给你们。不过,你们要留在城里,直到你们得到天上来的能力。”

耶稣升天

50 耶稣带着门徒来到伯大尼附近,举起双手为他们祝福。 51 正祝福的时候,祂就离开了他们,被接到天上去了。 52 门徒都敬拜祂,然后欢欢喜喜地回到耶路撒冷。 53 他们常在圣殿里赞美上帝。

The Resurrection

24 But very early on Sunday morning[a] the women went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared. They found that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance. So they went in, but they didn’t find the body of the Lord Jesus. As they stood there puzzled, two men suddenly appeared to them, clothed in dazzling robes.

The women were terrified and bowed with their faces to the ground. Then the men asked, “Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive? He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead! Remember what he told you back in Galilee, that the Son of Man[b] must be betrayed into the hands of sinful men and be crucified, and that he would rise again on the third day.”

Then they remembered that he had said this. So they rushed back from the tomb to tell his eleven disciples—and everyone else—what had happened. 10 It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and several other women who told the apostles what had happened. 11 But the story sounded like nonsense to the men, so they didn’t believe it. 12 However, Peter jumped up and ran to the tomb to look. Stooping, he peered in and saw the empty linen wrappings; then he went home again, wondering what had happened.

The Walk to Emmaus

13 That same day two of Jesus’ followers were walking to the village of Emmaus, seven miles[c] from Jerusalem. 14 As they walked along they were talking about everything that had happened. 15 As they talked and discussed these things, Jesus himself suddenly came and began walking with them. 16 But God kept them from recognizing him.

17 He asked them, “What are you discussing so intently as you walk along?”

They stopped short, sadness written across their faces. 18 Then one of them, Cleopas, replied, “You must be the only person in Jerusalem who hasn’t heard about all the things that have happened there the last few days.”

19 “What things?” Jesus asked.

“The things that happened to Jesus, the man from Nazareth,” they said. “He was a prophet who did powerful miracles, and he was a mighty teacher in the eyes of God and all the people. 20 But our leading priests and other religious leaders handed him over to be condemned to death, and they crucified him. 21 We had hoped he was the Messiah who had come to rescue Israel. This all happened three days ago.

22 “Then some women from our group of his followers were at his tomb early this morning, and they came back with an amazing report. 23 They said his body was missing, and they had seen angels who told them Jesus is alive! 24 Some of our men ran out to see, and sure enough, his body was gone, just as the women had said.”

25 Then Jesus said to them, “You foolish people! You find it so hard to believe all that the prophets wrote in the Scriptures. 26 Wasn’t it clearly predicted that the Messiah would have to suffer all these things before entering his glory?” 27 Then Jesus took them through the writings of Moses and all the prophets, explaining from all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.

28 By this time they were nearing Emmaus and the end of their journey. Jesus acted as if he were going on, 29 but they begged him, “Stay the night with us, since it is getting late.” So he went home with them. 30 As they sat down to eat,[d] he took the bread and blessed it. Then he broke it and gave it to them. 31 Suddenly, their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And at that moment he disappeared!

32 They said to each other, “Didn’t our hearts burn within us as he talked with us on the road and explained the Scriptures to us?” 33 And within the hour they were on their way back to Jerusalem. There they found the eleven disciples and the others who had gathered with them, 34 who said, “The Lord has really risen! He appeared to Peter.[e]

Jesus Appears to the Disciples

35 Then the two from Emmaus told their story of how Jesus had appeared to them as they were walking along the road, and how they had recognized him as he was breaking the bread. 36 And just as they were telling about it, Jesus himself was suddenly standing there among them. “Peace be with you,” he said. 37 But the whole group was startled and frightened, thinking they were seeing a ghost!

38 “Why are you frightened?” he asked. “Why are your hearts filled with doubt? 39 Look at my hands. Look at my feet. You can see that it’s really me. Touch me and make sure that I am not a ghost, because ghosts don’t have bodies, as you see that I do.” 40 As he spoke, he showed them his hands and his feet.

41 Still they stood there in disbelief, filled with joy and wonder. Then he asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” 42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43 and he ate it as they watched.

44 Then he said, “When I was with you before, I told you that everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and in the Psalms must be fulfilled.” 45 Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures. 46 And he said, “Yes, it was written long ago that the Messiah would suffer and die and rise from the dead on the third day. 47 It was also written that this message would be proclaimed in the authority of his name to all the nations,[f] beginning in Jerusalem: ‘There is forgiveness of sins for all who repent.’ 48 You are witnesses of all these things.

49 “And now I will send the Holy Spirit, just as my Father promised. But stay here in the city until the Holy Spirit comes and fills you with power from heaven.”

The Ascension

50 Then Jesus led them to Bethany, and lifting his hands to heaven, he blessed them. 51 While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up to heaven. 52 So they worshiped him and then returned to Jerusalem filled with great joy. 53 And they spent all of their time in the Temple, praising God.

Jesus Has Risen(A)

24 On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared(B) and went to the tomb. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.(C) While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning(D) stood beside them. 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? He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee:(E) ‘The Son of Man(F) must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’(G) Then they remembered his words.(H)

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(I) who told this to the apostles.(J) 11 But they did not believe(K) 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,(L) and he went away,(M) wondering to himself what had happened.

On the Road to Emmaus

13 Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles[a] from Jerusalem.(N) 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;(O) 16 but they were kept from recognizing him.(P)

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,(Q) 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,”(R) they replied. “He was a prophet,(S) powerful in word and deed before God and all the people. 20 The chief priests and our rulers(T) 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.(U) And what is more, it is the third day(V) since all this took place. 22 In addition, some of our women amazed us.(W) 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.”(X)

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?”(Y) 27 And beginning with Moses(Z) and all the Prophets,(AA) he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.(AB)

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(AC) and began to give it to them. 31 Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him,(AD) and he disappeared from their sight. 32 They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us(AE) while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures(AF) 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(AG) has risen and has appeared to Simon.”(AH) 35 Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread.(AI)

Jesus Appears to the Disciples

36 While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.”(AJ)

37 They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost.(AK) 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;(AL) 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.(AM)

44 He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you:(AN) Everything must be fulfilled(AO) that is written about me in the Law of Moses,(AP) the Prophets(AQ) and the Psalms.”(AR)

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(AS) and rise from the dead on the third day,(AT) 47 and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name(AU) to all nations,(AV) beginning at Jerusalem.(AW) 48 You are witnesses(AX) of these things. 49 I am going to send you what my Father has promised;(AY) but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”

The Ascension of Jesus

50 When he had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany,(AZ) he lifted up his hands and blessed them. 51 While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up into heaven.(BA) 52 Then they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy. 53 And they stayed continually at the temple,(BB) praising God.
