Isusovo uskrsnuće
(Mt 28:1-10; Mk 16:1-8; Iv 20:1-9)
1U osvit dana u nedjelju24:1 U grčkome: prvoga dana tjedna. dođu na grob s miomirisima što su ih pripravile 2i nađu kamen s ulaza u grob odmaknut. 3Ušle su unutra, ali nisu našle tijelo Gospodina Isusa. 4Dok su tako zbunjene stajale, uz njih se pojave dva čovjeka u blistavoj odjeći. 5Žene se prestraše i poniknu licem prema zemlji. “Zašto tražite živoga među mrtvima?” upitaju ih dvojica. 6“Nije ovdje, uskrsnuo je! Sjetite se što vam je govorio još u Galileji: 7‘Sina Čovječjega predat će u ruke grešnicima i raspet će ga, ali on će treći dan uskrsnuti.’”
8One se sjete da je Isus to rekao. 9Požure zato s groba to javiti jedanaestorici učenika i ostalima. 10Bile su to Marija Magdalena, Ivana i Marija, majka Jakovljeva, i još neke žene. Sve su one to ispričale apostolima, 11ali njima se činilo da je sve to izmišljotina. I nisu im vjerovali. 12Ipak, Petar potrči do groba. Kad je stigao, proviri unutra i spazi samo povoje od lanena platna. Vrati se zatim čudeći se onomu što se dogodilo.
Isus se ukazuje učenicima na putu u Emaus
13Toga su dana dvojica Isusovih sljedbenika putovala u selo Emaus, udaljeno od Jeruzalema jedanaest kilometara.24:13 U grčkome: šezdeset stadija. 14Putem su razgovarali o svemu što se dogodilo. 15Dok su tako razgovarali i raspravljali, pristupi im Isus i pođe s njima. 16Ali njihovim je očima bilo uskraćeno da ga prepoznaju.
17“O čemu to raspravljate putujući?” upita ih.
Oni zastanu, shrvani tugom. 18Jedan od njih, imenom Kleofa, odgovori mu: “Ti si, čini se, jedini tuđinac u Jeruzalemu koji ne zna što se ondje dogodilo ovih dana.”
19“Što se dogodilo?” upita Isus.
“Pa to s Isusom Nazarećaninom”, rekli su. “On je bio prorok silan i na riječi i na djelima pred Bogom i pred svim narodom. 20Ali naši svećenički poglavari i članovi Velikog vijeća predali su ga da bude osuđen na smrt te su ga raspeli. 21A mi smo se nadali da je on Otkupitelj koji će spasiti Izrael. Osim toga, već je treći dan otkako se to dogodilo. 22Još su nas i neke žene, koju su ga s nama slijedile, zbunile: čim je svanulo otišle su na grob, 23ali ondje nisu našle njegovo tijelo. Došle su i rekle da su im se ukazali anđeli i kazali im da je živ. 24Neki od nas pojurili su na grob i našli su sve kao što su žene ispričale, ali njega nisu vidjeli.”
25“Neumnici!” reče im nato Isus. “Nikako da povjerujete sve što su proroci navijestili. 26Nisu li oni prorekli da će Krist morati sve to pretrpjeti prije nego što uđe u svoju slavu?” 27Zatim im, započevši od Mojsija, protumači što su svi proroci o njemu zapisali u Svetome pismu.
28Približili su se već selu kamo su išli, a Isus se pričini da će nastaviti put. 29Ali oni su ga nagovarali: “Ostani s nama! Već je večer; dan je na izmaku!” On ostane i uđe s njima u kuću. 30Dok je sjedio s njima za stolom, Isus uzme kruh, blagoslovi ga i razlomi te im ga dade. 31Uto se njima otvore oči pa ga prepoznaju, a on nestane.
32“Nije li nam srce usplamtjelo kad nam je putem pričao i tumačio Pisma?” upitaju oni jedan drugoga. 33Smjesta se spreme i vrate u Jeruzalem. Ondje nađu na okupu Jedanaestoricu i ostale Isusove sljedbenike. 34“Gospodin je zaista uskrsnuo!” kazaše im. “Zaista se ukazao Šimunu!”
Isus se pojavljuje pred učenicima
(Iv 20:19-23)
35Ispripovijedaju im zatim susret s Gospodinom na putu u Emaus te kako su ga prepoznali kad je razlomio kruh. 36Dok su oni o tome razgovarali, Isus odjednom stane među njih. “Mir vama!” reče im. 37Zbunjeni i prestrašeni, mislili su da vide duha. 38Ali Isus im reče: “Zašto se bojite? Zašto vam se sumnja rađa u srcu? 39Pogledajte mi ruke i noge! Ja sam to! Opipajte me pa ćete vidjeti! Duhovi nemaju kostiju i mesa kao ja!” 40Pokaže im svoje ruke i noge.
41Od čuđenja i veselja nisu mogli vjerovati. On upita: “Imate li što za jelo?” 42Pruže mu komad pečene ribe, 43a on ga uzme i pojede pred njima.
44Reče zatim: “O ovome sam vam govorio dok sam prije bio s vama: Trebalo se ispuniti sve što u Mojsijevu zakonu, proročkim knjigama i psalmima piše o meni.” 45Otvori im zatim um da razumiju Sveto pismo 46pa reče: “Piše da će Krist trpjeti i treći dan ustati od mrtvih. 47U njegovo ime propovijedajte obraćenje i oproštenje grijeha svim narodima počevši od Jeruzalema. 48Vi ste svjedoci toga.
49A ja ću vam poslati Svetoga Duha, baš kao što je Otac obećao. Ostanite u gradu dok vas Sveti Duh ne ispuni silom odozgora!”
Uzašašće
(Mk 16:19-20; Djela 1:9-11)
50Isus ih zatim povede u blizinu Betanije. Ondje podigne ruke i blagoslovi ih. 51Tako se, blagoslivljajući ih, i rastane od njih: uznesen je na nebo. 52Oni mu se ničice poklone, a zatim se silno radosni vrate u Jeruzalem. 53Ondje su u Hramu neprestano slavili Boga.
Jesus has risen
1On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. 2They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. 5In 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? 6He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: 7“The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.” ’ 8Then they remembered his words.
9When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others. 10It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles. 11But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense. 12Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. Bending over, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he went away, wondering to himself what had happened.
On the road to Emmaus
13Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles24:13 Or about 11 kilometres from Jerusalem. 14They were talking with each other about everything that had happened. 15As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them; 16but they were kept from recognising him.
17He asked them, ‘What are you discussing together as you walk along?’
They stood still, their faces downcast. 18One of them, named Cleopas, 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,’ they replied. ‘He was a prophet, powerful in word and deed before God and all the people. 20The chief priests and our rulers handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him; 21but we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. And what is more, it is the third day since all this took place. 22In addition, some of our women amazed us. They went to the tomb early this morning 23but didn’t find his body. They came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who said he was alive. 24Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see Jesus.’
25He said to them, ‘How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken! 26Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?’ 27And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.
28As they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus continued on as if he were going further. 29But 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.
30When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. 31Then their eyes were opened and they recognised him, and he disappeared from their sight. 32They asked each other, ‘Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?’
33They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, assembled together 34and saying, ‘It is true! The Lord has risen and has appeared to Simon.’ 35Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognised by them when he broke the bread.
Jesus appears to the disciples
36While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, ‘Peace be with you.’
37They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost. 38He said to them, ‘Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds? 39Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.’
40When he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet. 41And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, ‘Do you have anything here to eat?’ 42They gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43and he took it and ate it in their presence.
44He said to them, ‘This is what I told you while I was still with you: everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.’
45Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. 46He told them, ‘This is what is written: the Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, 47and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 48You are witnesses of these things. 49I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.’
The ascension of Jesus
50When he had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany, he lifted up his hands and blessed them. 51While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up into heaven. 52Then they worshipped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy. 53And they stayed continually at the temple, praising God.
