Lucas 24— comparação

1Mas no primeiro dia da semana, de madrugada, elas e algumas outras foram ao sepulcro, levando as especiarias que haviam preparado.

2Encontraram a pedra rolada do sepulcro.

3Entraram, e não encontraram o corpo do Senhor Jesus.

4Enquanto estavam muito perplexas com isso, eis que dois homens se puseram ao lado delas com roupas resplandecentes.

5Amedrontadas, abaixaram o rosto para a terra.

6Ele não está aqui, mas ressuscitou. Lembrem-se do que ele lhes disse quando ainda estava na Galileia,

7dizendo que o Filho do Homem devia ser entregue nas mãos de homens pecadores, ser crucificado, e ressuscitar ao terceiro dia.”

8Elas se lembraram das palavras dele,

9voltaram do sepulcro e contaram todas essas coisas aos onze e a todos os outros.

10Eram elas Maria Madalena, Joana e Maria, mãe de Tiago. As outras mulheres que estavam com elas contaram essas coisas aos apóstolos.

11Essas palavras lhes pareceram loucura, e eles não acreditaram nelas.

12Mas Pedro se levantou e correu ao sepulcro. Abaixando-se e olhando para dentro, viu as faixas de linho deitadas ali sozinhas, e foi para casa, admirado com o que havia acontecido.

13Eis que dois deles estavam indo naquele mesmo dia para uma aldeia chamada Emaús, que ficava a sessenta estádios de Jerusalém.

14Eles conversavam um com o outro sobre todas essas coisas que haviam acontecido.

15Enquanto conversavam e discutiam entre si, o próprio Jesus se aproximou e foi com eles.

16Mas os olhos deles foram impedidos de reconhecê-lo.

17Ele lhes disse: “Sobre o que vocês estão conversando enquanto caminham, e estão tristes?”

18Um deles, chamado Cleopas, respondeu-lhe: “Você é o único forasteiro em Jerusalém que não sabe das coisas que aconteceram lá nestes dias?”

19Ele lhes disse: “Que coisas?”

20e como os principais sacerdotes e os nossos governantes o entregaram para ser condenado à morte, e o crucificaram.

21Mas nós esperávamos que fosse ele quem redimiria Israel. Sim, e além de tudo isso, hoje já é o terceiro dia desde que essas coisas aconteceram.

22Além disso, algumas mulheres do nosso grupo nos deixaram maravilhados; tendo chegado de madrugada ao sepulcro,

23e não achando o corpo dele, voltaram dizendo que também tinham tido uma visão de anjos, os quais disseram que ele está vivo.

24Alguns dos nossos foram ao sepulcro e o encontraram exatamente como as mulheres haviam dito, mas não o viram.”

25Ele lhes disse: “Ó insensatos, e tardos de coração para crer em tudo o que os profetas falaram!

26O Cristo não tinha que sofrer essas coisas e entrar na sua glória?”

27Começando por Moisés e por todos os profetas, ele lhes explicou em todas as Escrituras as coisas a respeito de si mesmo.

28Eles se aproximaram da aldeia para onde iam, e ele fez como se fosse para mais longe.

29Eles insistiram com ele, dizendo: “Fique conosco, pois já é quase noite, e o dia está quase no fim.”

30Quando ele se sentou à mesa com eles, tomou o pão e deu graças. Partindo-o, deu-o a eles.

31Os olhos deles foram abertos e eles o reconheceram; então ele desapareceu da vista deles.

32Eles disseram um ao outro: “Não ardia o nosso coração dentro de nós enquanto ele nos falava pelo caminho, e enquanto nos abria as Escrituras?”

33Levantaram-se naquela mesma hora, voltaram para Jerusalém e encontraram os onze reunidos, e os que estavam com eles,

34dizendo: “O Senhor ressuscitou de fato, e apareceu a Simão!”

35Eles relataram as coisas que aconteceram pelo caminho, e como ele foi reconhecido por eles no partir do pão.

36Enquanto diziam essas coisas, o próprio Jesus se pôs no meio deles e lhes disse: “Paz seja com vocês.”

37Mas eles ficaram aterrorizados e cheios de medo, e supunham ter visto um espírito.

38Ele lhes disse: “Por que vocês estão perturbados? Por que surgem dúvidas em seus corações?

39Vejam as minhas mãos e os meus pés, que sou eu mesmo. Toquem-me e vejam, pois um espírito não tem carne e ossos, como vocês veem que eu tenho.”

40Tendo dito isso, ele lhes mostrou as mãos e os pés.

41Enquanto eles ainda não acreditavam por causa da alegria, e se maravilhavam, ele lhes disse: “Vocês têm aqui alguma coisa para comer?”

42Eles lhe deram um pedaço de peixe assado e um favo de mel.

43Ele os tomou e comeu diante deles.

44Ele lhes disse: “Isto é o que eu lhes falei enquanto ainda estava com vocês: que todas as coisas que estão escritas na lei de Moisés, nos profetas e nos salmos a meu respeito deviam se cumprir.”

45Então ele lhes abriu o entendimento, para que pudessem compreender as Escrituras.

46E lhes disse: “Assim está escrito, e assim era necessário que o Cristo sofresse e ressuscitasse dos mortos ao terceiro dia,

47e que o arrependimento e a remissão de pecados fossem pregados em seu nome a todas as nações, começando por Jerusalém.

48Vocês são testemunhas dessas coisas.

49Eis que envio sobre vocês a promessa de meu Pai. Mas esperem na cidade de Jerusalém, até que sejam revestidos do poder do alto.”

50Ele os levou fora até Betânia e, levantando as mãos, os abençoou.

51Enquanto os abençoava, apartou-se deles e foi elevado ao céu.

52Eles o adoraram e voltaram para Jerusalém com grande alegria,

53e estavam continuamente no templo, louvando e bendizendo a Deus. Amém.

1But 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.

2They found the stone rolled away from the tomb.

3They entered in, and didn’t find the Lord Jesus’ body.

4While they were greatly perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling clothing.

5Becoming terrified, they bowed their faces down to the earth. The men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead?

6He isn’t here, but is risen. Remember what he told you when he was still in Galilee,

7saying that the Son of Man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men and be crucified, and the third day rise again?”

8They remembered his words,

9returned from the tomb, and told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.

10Now they were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James. The other women with them told these things to the apostles.

11These words seemed to them to be nonsense, and they didn’t believe them.

12But 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.

13Behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was sixty stadia from Jerusalem.

14They talked with each other about all of these things which had happened.

15While they talked and questioned together, Jesus himself came near, and went with them.

16But their eyes were kept from recognizing him.

17He said to them, “What are you talking about as you walk, and are sad?”*

18One 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?”

19He 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;

20and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him.

21But 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.

22Also, certain women of our company amazed us, having arrived early at the tomb;

23and 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.

24Some of us went to the tomb and found it just like the women had said, but they didn’t see him.”

25He said to them, “Foolish people, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! *

26Didn’t the Christ have to suffer these things and to enter into his glory?”*

27Beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.

28They came near to the village where they were going, and he acted like he would go further.

29They urged him, saying, “Stay with us, for it is almost evening, and the day is almost over.” He went in to stay with them.

30When he had sat down at the table with them, he took the bread and gave thanks. Breaking it, he gave it to them.

31Their eyes were opened and they recognized him; then he vanished out of their sight.

32They 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?”

33They rose up that very hour, returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and those who were with them,

34saying, “The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!”

35They related the things that happened along the way, and how he was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.

36As they said these things, Jesus himself stood among them, and said to them, “Peace be to you.”*

37But they were terrified and filled with fear, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.

38He said to them, “Why are you troubled? Why do doubts arise in your hearts? *

39See 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.”*

40When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.

41While they still didn’t believe for joy, and wondered, he said to them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”*

42They gave him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb.

43He took them, and ate in front of them.

44He 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.”*

45Then he opened their minds, that they might understand the Scriptures.

46He 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, *

47and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem. *

48You are witnesses of these things. *

49Behold, 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.” *

50He led them out as far as Bethany, and he lifted up his hands and blessed them.

51While he blessed them, he withdrew from them and was carried up into heaven.

52They worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

53and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
