A ressurreição(A)

24 E, no primeiro dia da semana, muito de madrugada, foram elas ao sepulcro, levando as especiarias que tinham preparado. E acharam a pedra do sepulcro removida. E, entrando, não acharam o corpo do Senhor Jesus. E aconteceu que, estando elas perplexas a esse respeito, eis que pararam junto delas dois varões com vestes resplandecentes. E, estando elas muito atemorizadas e abaixando o rosto para o chão, eles lhe disseram: Por que buscais o vivente entre os mortos? Não está aqui, mas ressuscitou. Lembrai-vos como vos falou, estando ainda na Galileia, dizendo: Convém que o Filho do Homem seja entregue nas mãos de homens pecadores, e seja crucificado, e, ao terceiro dia, ressuscite. E lembraram-se das suas palavras. E, voltando do sepulcro, anunciaram todas essas 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 lenços ali postos; e retirou-se, admirando consigo aquele caso.

Os dois discípulos no caminho de Emaús(B)

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 Cleopas, 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, o Nazareno, que foi um 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, com 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, 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 essas 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, voltaram para Jerusalém e acharam congregados os onze e os que estavam com eles, 34 os quais diziam: Ressuscitou, verdadeiramente, o Senhor e apareceu a Simão. 35 E eles lhes contaram o que lhes acontecera no caminho, e como deles foi conhecido no partir do pão.

A aparição de Jesus aos doze(C)

36 E, falando ele dessas 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 ao vosso coração? 39 Vede as minhas mãos e os meus pés, que sou eu mesmo; tocai-me e vede, pois um espírito não tem carne nem ossos, como vedes que eu tenho. 40 E, dizendo isso, 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: 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 dos mortos; 47 e, em seu nome, se pregasse o arrependimento e a remissão dos pecados, em todas as nações, começando por Jerusalém. 48 E dessas 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.

A ascensão(D)

50 E levou-os fora, até Betânia; e, levantando as 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!

News That Jesus Has Risen From Death(A)

24 Very early Sunday morning, the women came to the tomb where Jesus’ body was laid. They brought the sweet-smelling spices they had prepared. They saw that the heavy stone that covered the entrance had been rolled away. They went in, but they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. They did not understand this. While they were wondering about it, two men in shining clothes stood beside them. The women were very afraid. They bowed down with their faces to the ground. The men said to them, “Why are you looking for a living person here? This is a place for dead people. Jesus is not here. He has risen from death. Do you remember what he said in Galilee? He said the Son of Man must be handed over to the control of sinful men, be killed on a cross, and rise from death on the third day.” Then the women remembered what Jesus had said.

The women left the tomb and went to the eleven apostles and the other followers. They told them everything that happened at the tomb. 10 These women were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary, the mother of James, and some others. They told the apostles everything that happened. 11 But the apostles did not believe what they said. It sounded like nonsense. 12 But Peter got up and ran to the tomb to see. He looked in, but he saw only the cloth that Jesus’ body had been wrapped in. It was just lying there. Peter went away to be alone, wondering what had happened.[a]

On The Road to Emmaus(B)

13 That same day two of Jesus’ followers were going to a town named Emmaus. It is about seven miles[b] from Jerusalem. 14 They were talking about everything that had happened. 15 While they were talking, discussing these things, Jesus himself came near and walked with them. 16 (But the two men were not allowed to recognize Jesus.) 17 He asked them, “What’s this I hear you discussing with each other as you walk?”

The two men stopped, their faces looking very sad. 18 The one named Cleopas said, “You must be the only person in Jerusalem who doesn’t know what has just happened there.”

19 Jesus said, “What are you talking about?”

They said, “It’s about Jesus, the one from Nazareth. To God and to all the people he was a great prophet. He said and did many powerful things. 20 But our leaders and the leading priests handed him over to be judged and killed. They nailed him to a cross. 21 We were hoping that he would be the one to free Israel. But then all this happened.

“And now something else: It has been three days since he was killed, 22 but today some of our women told us an amazing thing. Early this morning they went to the tomb where the body of Jesus was laid. 23 But they did not find his body there. They came and told us they had seen some angels in a vision. The angels told them Jesus was alive! 24 So some of our group went to the tomb too. It was just as the women said. They saw the tomb, but they did not see Jesus.”

25 Then Jesus said to the two men, “You are foolish and slow to realize what is true. You should believe everything the prophets said. 26 The prophets said the Messiah must suffer these things before he begins his time of glory.” 27 Then he began to explain everything that had been written about himself in the Scriptures. He started with the books of Moses and then he talked about what the prophets had said about him.

28 They came near the town of Emmaus, and Jesus acted as if he did not plan to stop there. 29 But they wanted him to stay. They begged him, “Stay with us. It’s almost night. There’s hardly any daylight left.” So he went in to stay with them.

30 Joining them at the supper table, Jesus took some bread and gave thanks. Then he broke some off and gave it to them. 31 Just then the men were allowed to recognize him. But when they saw who he was, he disappeared. 32 They said to each other, “When he talked to us on the road, it felt like a fire burning in us. How exciting it was when he explained to us the true meaning of the Scriptures!”

33 So the two men got up then and went back to Jerusalem. There they found the followers of Jesus meeting together. The eleven apostles and the people with them 34 said, “The Lord really has risen from death! He appeared to Simon.”

35 Then the two men told what had happened on the road. They talked about how they recognized Jesus when he shared the bread with them.

Jesus Appears to His Followers(C)

36 While the two men were saying these things to the other followers, Jesus himself came and stood among them. He said to them, “Peace be with you.”

37 This surprised the followers. They were afraid. They thought they were seeing a ghost. 38 But Jesus said, “Why are you troubled? Why do you doubt what you see? 39 Look at my hands and my feet. It’s really me. Touch me. You can see that I have a living body; a ghost does not have a body like this.”

40 After Jesus told them this, he showed them his hands and his feet. 41 The followers were amazed and very, very happy to see that Jesus was alive. They still could not believe what they saw. He said to them, “Do you have any food here?” 42 They gave him a piece of cooked fish. 43 While the followers watched, he took the fish and ate it.

44 Jesus said to them, “Remember when I was with you before? I said that everything written about me must happen—everything written in the Law of Moses, the books of the prophets, and the Psalms.”

45 Then Jesus helped the followers understand these Scriptures about him. 46 Jesus said to them, “It is written that the Messiah would be killed and rise from death on the third day. 47-48 You saw these things happen—you are witnesses. You must go and tell people that they must change and turn to God, which will bring them his forgiveness. You must start from Jerusalem and tell this message in my name to the people of all nations. 49 Remember that I will send you the one my Father promised. Stay in the city until you are given that power from heaven.”

Jesus Goes Back to Heaven(D)

50 Jesus led his followers out of Jerusalem almost to Bethany. He raised his hands and blessed his followers. 51 While he was blessing them, he was separated from them and carried into heaven. 52 They worshiped him and went back to Jerusalem very happy. 53 They stayed at the Temple all the time, praising God.
