Lukas 24 | Nova Versão Internacional

A Ressurreição

1 No primeiro dia da semana, de manhã bem cedo, as mulheres levaram ao sepulcro as especiarias aromáticas que haviam preparado. 2 Encontraram removida a pedra do sepulcro, 3 mas, quando entraram, não encontraram o corpo do Senhor Jesus. 4 Ficaram perplexas, sem saber o que fazer. De repente, dois homens com roupas que brilhavam como a luz do sol colocaram-se ao lado delas. 5 Amedrontadas, as mulheres baixaram o rosto para o chão, e os homens lhes disseram: “Por que vocês estão procurando entre os mortos aquele que vive? 6 Ele não está aqui! Ressuscitou! Lembrem-se do que ele disse, quando ainda estava com vocês na Galileia: 7 ‘É necessário que o Filho do homem seja entregue nas mãos de homens pecadores, seja crucificado e ressuscite no terceiro dia’ ”. 8 Então se lembraram das palavras de Jesus. 9 Quando voltaram do sepulcro, elas contaram todas estas coisas aos Onze e a todos os outros. 10 As que contaram estas coisas aos apóstolos foram Maria Madalena, Joana e Maria, mãe de Tiago, e as outras que estavam com elas. 11 Mas eles não acreditaram nas mulheres; as palavras delas lhes pareciam loucura. 12 Pedro, todavia, levantou-se e correu ao sepulcro. Abaixando-se, viu as faixas de linho e mais nada; afastou-se, e voltou admirado com o que acontecera.

No Caminho de Emaús

13 Naquele mesmo dia, dois deles estavam indo para um povoado chamado Emaús, a onze quilômetros* de Jerusalém. 14 No caminho, conversavam a respeito de tudo o que havia acontecido. 15 Enquanto conversavam e discutiam, o próprio Jesus se aproximou e começou a caminhar com eles; 16 mas os olhos deles foram impedidos de reconhecê-lo. 17 Ele lhes perguntou: “Sobre o que vocês estão discutindo enquanto caminham?” Eles pararam, com os rostos entristecidos. 18 Um deles, chamado Cleopas, perguntou-lhe: “Você é o único visitante em Jerusalém que não sabe das coisas que ali aconteceram nestes dias?” 19 “Que coisas?”, perguntou ele. “O que aconteceu com Jesus de Nazaré”, responderam eles. “Ele era um profeta, poderoso em palavras e em obras diante de Deus e de todo o povo. 20 Os chefes dos sacerdotes e as nossas autoridades o entregaram para ser condenado à morte e o crucificaram; 21 e nós esperávamos que era ele que ia trazer a redenção a Israel. E hoje é o terceiro dia desde que tudo isso aconteceu. 22 Algumas das mulheres entre nós nos deram um susto hoje. Foram de manhã bem cedo ao sepulcro 23 e não acharam o corpo dele. Voltaram e nos contaram ter tido uma visão de anjos, que disseram que ele está vivo. 24 Alguns dos nossos companheiros foram ao sepulcro e encontraram tudo exatamente como as mulheres tinham dito, mas não o viram.” 25 Ele lhes disse: “Como vocês custam a entender e como demoram a crer em tudo o que os profetas falaram! 26 Não devia o Cristo sofrer estas coisas, para entrar na sua glória?” 27 E, começando por Moisés e todos os profetas, explicou-lhes o que constava a respeito dele em todas as Escrituras. 28 Ao se aproximarem do povoado para o qual estavam indo, Jesus fez como quem ia mais adiante. 29 Mas eles insistiram muito com ele: “Fique conosco, pois a noite já vem; o dia já está quase findando”. Então, ele entrou para ficar com eles. 30 Quando estava à mesa com eles, tomou o pão, deu graças, partiu-o e o deu a eles. 31 Então os olhos deles foram abertos e o reconheceram, e ele desapareceu da vista deles. 32 Perguntaram-se um ao outro: “Não estava queimando o nosso coração enquanto ele nos falava no caminho e nos expunha as Escrituras?” 33 Levantaram-se e voltaram imediatamente para Jerusalém. Ali encontraram os Onze e os que estavam com eles reunidos, 34 que diziam: “É verdade! O Senhor ressuscitou e apareceu a Simão!” 35 Então os dois contaram o que tinha acontecido no caminho e como Jesus fora reconhecido por eles quando partia o pão.

Jesus Aparece aos Discípulos

36 Enquanto falavam sobre isso, o próprio Jesus apresentou-se entre eles e lhes disse: “Paz seja com vocês!” 37 Eles ficaram assustados e com medo, pensando que estavam vendo um espírito. 38 Ele lhes disse: “Por que vocês estão perturbados e por que se levantam dúvidas no coração de vocês? 39 Vejam as minhas mãos e os meus pés. Sou eu mesmo! Toquem-me e vejam; um espírito não tem carne nem ossos, como vocês estão vendo que eu tenho”. 40 Tendo dito isso, mostrou-lhes as mãos e os pés. 41 E por não crerem ainda, tão cheios estavam de alegria e de espanto, ele lhes perguntou: “Vocês têm aqui algo para comer?” 42 Deram-lhe um pedaço de peixe assado, 43 e ele o comeu na presença deles. 44 E disse-lhes: “Foi isso que eu falei enquanto ainda estava com vocês: Era necessário que se cumprisse tudo o que a meu respeito está escrito na Lei de Moisés, nos Profetas e nos Salmos”. 45 Então lhes abriu o entendimento, para que pudessem compreender as Escrituras. 46 E lhes disse: “Está escrito que o Cristo haveria de sofrer e ressuscitar dos mortos no terceiro dia, 47 e que em seu nome seria pregado o arrependimento para perdão de pecados a todas as nações, começando por Jerusalém. 48 Vocês são testemunhas destas coisas. 49 Eu envio a vocês a promessa de meu Pai; mas fiquem na cidade até serem revestidos do poder do alto”.

A Ascensão

50 Tendo-os levado até as proximidades de Betânia, Jesus ergueu as mãos e os abençoou. 51 Estando ainda a abençoá-los, ele os deixou e foi elevado ao céu. 52 Então eles o adoraram e voltaram para Jerusalém com grande alegria. 53 E permaneciam constantemente no templo, louvando a Deus.

The Resurrection

1 But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared. 2 And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel. 5 And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? 6 He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, 7 that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise.” 8 And they remembered his words, 9 and returning from the tomb they told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. 10 Now it was Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James and the other women with them who told these things to the apostles, 11 but these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them. 12 But Peter rose and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths by themselves; and he went home marveling at what had happened.

On the Road to Emmaus

13 That very day two of them were going to a village named Emmaus, about seven miles* from Jerusalem, 14 and they were talking with each other about all these things that had happened. 15 While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus himself drew near and went with them. 16 But their eyes were kept from recognizing him. 17 And he said to them, “What is this conversation that you are holding with each other as you walk?” And they stood still, looking sad. 18 Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?” 19 And he said to them, “What things?” And they said to him, “Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, a man who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, 20 and how our chief priests and rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him. 21 But we had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened. 22 Moreover, some women of our company amazed us. They were at the tomb early in the morning, 23 and when they did not find his body, they came back saying that they had even seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive. 24 Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but him they did not see.” 25 And he said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! 26 Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?” 27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself. 28 So they drew near to the village to which they were going. He acted as if he were going farther, 29 but they urged him strongly, saying, “Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the day is now far spent.” So he went in to stay with them. 30 When he was at table with them, he took the bread and blessed and broke it and gave it to them. 31 And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And he vanished from their sight. 32 They said to each other, “Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the Scriptures?” 33 And they rose that same hour and returned to Jerusalem. And they found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together, 34 saying, “The Lord has risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!” 35 Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread.

Jesus Appears to His Disciples

36 As they were talking about these things, Jesus himself stood among them, and said to them, “Peace to you!” 37 But they were startled and frightened and thought they saw a spirit. 38 And he said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? 39 See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me, and see. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.” 40 And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet. 41 And while they still disbelieved for joy and were marveling, he said to them, “Have you anything here to eat?” 42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish,* 43 and he took it and ate before them. 44 Then he said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” 45 Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, 46 and said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, 47 and that repentance for* the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. 48 You are witnesses of these things. 49 And behold, I am sending the promise of my Father upon you. But stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.”

The Ascension

50 And he led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands he blessed them. 51 While he blessed them, he parted from them and was carried up into heaven. 52 And they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy, 53 and were continually in the temple blessing God.
