Jesus Rises From the Dead
1It was very early in the morning on the first day of the week. The women took the spices they had prepared. Then they went to the tomb. 2They found the stone rolled away from it. 3When they entered the tomb, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4They were wondering about this. Suddenly two men in clothes as bright as lightning stood beside them. 5The women were terrified. They bowed down with their faces to the ground. Then the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? 6Jesus is not here! He has risen! Remember how he told you he would rise. It was while he was still with you in Galilee. 7He said, ‘The Son of Man must be handed over to sinful people. He must be nailed to a cross. On the third day he will rise from the dead.’ ” 8Then the women remembered Jesus’ words.
9They came back from the tomb. They told all these things to the 11 apostles and to all the others. 10Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them were the ones who told the apostles. 11But the apostles did not believe the women. Their words didn’t make any sense to them. 12But Peter got up and ran to the tomb. He bent over and saw the strips of linen lying by themselves. Then he went away, wondering what had happened.
On the Road to Emmaus
13That same day two of Jesus’ followers were going to a village called Emmaus. It was about seven miles from Jerusalem. 14They were talking with each other about everything that had happened. 15As they talked about those things, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them. 16But God kept them from recognizing him.
17Jesus asked them, “What are you talking about as you walk along?”
They stood still, and their faces were sad. 18One of them was named Cleopas. He said to Jesus, “Are you the only person visiting Jerusalem who doesn’t know? Don’t you know about the things that have happened there in the last few days?”
19“What things?” Jesus asked.
“About Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “He was a prophet. He was powerful in what he said and did in the sight of God and all the people. 20The chief priests and our rulers handed Jesus over to be sentenced to death. They nailed him to a cross. 21But we had hoped that he was the one who was going to set Israel free. Also, it is the third day since all this happened. 22Some of our women amazed us too. Early this morning they went to the tomb. 23But they didn’t find his body. So they came and told us what they had seen. They saw angels, who said Jesus was alive. 24Then some of our friends went to the tomb. They saw it was empty, just as the women had said. They didn’t see Jesus’ body there.”
25Jesus said to them, “How foolish you are! How long it takes you to believe all that the prophets said! 26Didn’t the Messiah have to suffer these things and then receive his glory?” 27Jesus explained to them what was said about himself in all the Scriptures. He began with Moses and all the Prophets.
28They approached the village where they were going. Jesus kept walking as if he were going farther. 29But they tried hard to keep him from leaving. They said, “Stay with us. It is nearly evening. The day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them.
30He joined them at the table. Then he took bread and gave thanks. He broke it and began to give it to them. 31Their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. But then he disappeared from their sight. 32They said to each other, “He explained to us what the Scriptures meant. Weren’t we excited as he talked with us on the road?”
33They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the 11 disciples and those with them. They were all gathered together. 34They were saying, “It’s true! The Lord has risen! He has appeared to Simon!” 35Then the two of them told what had happened to them on the way. They told how they had recognized Jesus when he broke the bread.
Jesus Appears to the Disciples
36The disciples were still talking about this when Jesus himself suddenly stood among them. He said, “May you have peace!”
37They were surprised and terrified. They thought they were seeing a ghost. 38Jesus said to them, “Why are you troubled? Why do you have doubts in your minds? 39Look at my hands and my feet. It’s really me! Touch me and see. A ghost does not have a body or bones. But you can see that I do.”
40After he said that, he showed them his hands and feet. 41But they still did not believe it. They were amazed and filled with joy. So Jesus asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” 42They gave him a piece of cooked fish. 43He took it and ate it in front of them.
44Jesus said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you. Everything written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms must come true.”
45Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. 46He told them, “This is what is written. The Messiah will suffer. He will rise from the dead on the third day. 47His followers will preach in his name. They will tell others to turn away from their sins and be forgiven. People from every nation will hear it, beginning at Jerusalem. 48You have seen these things with your own eyes. 49I am going to send you what my Father has promised. But for now, stay in the city. Stay there until you have received power from heaven.”
Jesus Is Taken Up Into Heaven
50Jesus led his disciples out to the area near Bethany. Then he lifted up his hands and blessed them. 51While he was blessing them, he left them. He was taken up into heaven. 52Then they worshiped him. With great joy, they returned to Jerusalem. 53Every day they went to the temple, praising God.
耶稣死里复活
1周日黎明时分，几位妇女带着预备好的香料来到坟前， 2发现墓口的大石头已经滚到旁边， 3便进去，却没有看见主耶稣的遗体。 4正在猜疑之间，突然有两个衣服发光的人站在旁边， 5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？ 6祂不在这里，已经复活了！记住祂在加利利对你们说的话， 7‘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。’”
8她们想起耶稣的话来， 9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。
