A Ressurreição
(Mt 28.1-10; Mc 16.1-8; Lc 24.1-12)
1No primeiro dia da semana, bem cedo, estando ainda escuro, Maria Madalena chegou ao sepulcro e viu que a pedra da entrada tinha sido removida. 2Então correu ao encontro de Simão Pedro e do outro discípulo, aquele a quem Jesus amava, e disse: “Tiraram o Senhor do sepulcro, e não sabemos onde o colocaram!”
3Pedro e o outro discípulo saíram e foram para o sepulcro. 4Os dois corriam, mas o outro discípulo foi mais rápido que Pedro e chegou primeiro ao sepulcro. 5Ele se curvou e olhou para dentro, viu as faixas de linho ali, mas não entrou. 6A seguir, Simão Pedro, que vinha atrás dele, chegou, entrou no sepulcro e viu as faixas de linho, 7bem como o lenço que estivera sobre a cabeça de Jesus. Ele estava dobrado à parte, separado das faixas de linho. 8Depois o outro discípulo, que chegara primeiro ao sepulcro, também entrou. Ele viu e creu. 9(Eles ainda não haviam compreendido que, conforme a Escritura, era necessário que Jesus ressuscitasse dos mortos.)
Jesus Aparece a Maria Madalena
10Os discípulos voltaram para casa. 11Maria, porém, ficou à entrada do sepulcro, chorando. Enquanto chorava, curvou-se para olhar dentro do sepulcro 12e viu dois anjos vestidos de branco, sentados onde estivera o corpo de Jesus, um à cabeceira e o outro aos pés.
13Eles lhe perguntaram: “Mulher, por que você está chorando?”
“Levaram embora o meu Senhor”, respondeu ela, “e não sei onde o puseram”. 14Nisso ela se voltou e viu Jesus ali, em pé, mas não o reconheceu.
15Disse ele: “Mulher, por que está chorando? Quem você está procurando?”
Pensando que fosse o jardineiro, ela disse: “Se o senhor o levou embora, diga-me onde o colocou, e eu o levarei”.
16Jesus lhe disse: “Maria!”
Então, voltando-se para ele, Maria exclamou em aramaico: “Rabôni!” (que significa “Mestre!”).
17Jesus disse: “Não me segure, pois ainda não voltei para o Pai. Vá, porém, a meus irmãos e diga-lhes: Estou voltando para meu Pai e Pai de vocês, para meu Deus e Deus de vocês”.
18Maria Madalena foi e anunciou aos discípulos: “Eu vi o Senhor!” E contou o que ele lhe dissera.
Jesus Aparece aos Discípulos
(Lc 24.36-49)
19Ao cair da tarde daquele primeiro dia da semana, estando os discípulos reunidos a portas trancadas, por medo dos judeus, Jesus entrou, pôs-se no meio deles e disse: “Paz seja com vocês!” 20Tendo dito isso, mostrou-lhes as mãos e o lado. Os discípulos alegraram-se quando viram o Senhor.
21Novamente Jesus disse: “Paz seja com vocês! Assim como o Pai me enviou, eu os envio”. 22E com isso, soprou sobre eles e disse: “Recebam o Espírito Santo. 23Se perdoarem os pecados de alguém, estarão perdoados; se não os perdoarem, não estarão perdoados”.
Jesus Aparece a Tomé
24Tomé, chamado Dídimo, um dos Doze, não estava com os discípulos quando Jesus apareceu. 25Os outros discípulos lhe disseram: “Vimos o Senhor!” Mas ele lhes disse: “Se eu não vir as marcas dos pregos nas suas mãos, não colocar o meu dedo onde estavam os pregos e não puser a minha mão no seu lado, não crerei”.
26Uma semana mais tarde, os seus discípulos estavam outra vez ali, e Tomé com eles. Apesar de estarem trancadas as portas, Jesus entrou, pôs-se no meio deles e disse: “Paz seja com vocês!” 27E Jesus disse a Tomé: “Coloque o seu dedo aqui; veja as minhas mãos. Estenda a mão e coloque-a no meu lado. Pare de duvidar e creia”.
28Disse-lhe Tomé: “Senhor meu e Deus meu!”
29Então Jesus lhe disse: “Porque me viu, você creu? Felizes os que não viram e creram”.
30Jesus realizou na presença dos seus discípulos muitos outros sinais milagrosos, que não estão registrados neste livro. 31Mas estes foram escritos para que vocês creiam20.31 Alguns manuscritos dizem continuem a crer. que Jesus é o Cristo, o Filho de Deus e, crendo, tenham vida em seu nome.
The Tomb Is Empty
1Early on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb. It was still dark. She saw that the stone had been moved away from the entrance. 2So she ran to Simon Peter and another disciple, the one Jesus loved. She said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb! We don’t know where they have put him!”
3So Peter and the other disciple started out for the tomb. 4Both of them were running. The other disciple ran faster than Peter. He reached the tomb first. 5He bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there. But he did not go in. 6Then Simon Peter came along behind him. He went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there. 7He also saw the funeral cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus’ head. The cloth was still lying in its place. It was separate from the linen. 8The disciple who had reached the tomb first also went inside. He saw and believed. 9They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead. 10Then the disciples went back to where they were staying.
Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene
11But Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she cried, she bent over to look into the tomb. 12She saw two angels dressed in white. They were seated where Jesus’ body had been. One of them was where Jesus’ head had been laid. The other sat where his feet had been placed.
13They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?”
“They have taken my Lord away,” she said. “I don’t know where they have put him.” 14Then she turned around and saw Jesus standing there. But she didn’t realize that it was Jesus.
15He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who are you looking for?”
She thought he was the gardener. So she said, “Sir, did you carry him away? Tell me where you put him. Then I will go and get him.”
16Jesus said to her, “Mary.”
She turned toward him. Then she cried out in the Aramaic language, “Rabboni!” Rabboni means Teacher.
17Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me. I have not yet ascended to the Father. Instead, go to those who believe in me. Tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’ ”
18Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news. She said, “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her.
Jesus Appears to His Disciples
19On the evening of that first day of the week, the disciples were together. They had locked the doors because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders. Jesus came in and stood among them. He said, “May peace be with you!” 20Then he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were very happy when they saw the Lord.
21Again Jesus said, “May peace be with you! The Father has sent me. So now I am sending you.” 22He then breathed on them. He said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven. If you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”
Jesus Appears to Thomas
24Thomas was one of the 12 disciples. He was also called Didymus. He was not with the other disciples when Jesus came. 25So they told him, “We have seen the Lord!”
But he said to them, “First I must see the nail marks in his hands. I must put my finger where the nails were. I must put my hand into his side. Only then will I believe.”
26A week later, Jesus’ disciples were in the house again. Thomas was with them. Even though the doors were locked, Jesus came in and stood among them. He said, “May peace be with you!” 27Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here. See my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”
28Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”
29Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen me but still have believed.”
The Purpose of John’s Gospel
30Jesus performed many other signs in front of his disciples. They are not written down in this book. 31But these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God. If you believe this, you will have life because you belong to him.
