耶穌死裡復活
1週日黎明時分，幾位婦女帶著預備好的香料來到墳前， 2發現墓口的大石頭已經滾到旁邊， 3便進去，卻沒有看見主耶穌的遺體。 4正在猜疑之間，突然有兩個衣服發光的人站在旁邊， 5她們嚇得俯伏在地。那兩個人對她們說：「你們為什麼在死人中找活人呢？ 6祂不在這裡，已經復活了！記住祂在加利利對你們說的話， 7『人子必須被交在罪人的手中，被釘在十字架上，在第三天復活。』」
8她們這才想起耶穌的話來， 9便離開墳墓，回去把事情的經過告訴十一個使徒和其他人。 10把這些事告訴使徒的婦女有抹大拉的瑪麗亞、約亞娜、雅各的母親瑪麗亞及其他人。
11他們聽了都不相信，認為是無稽之談。 12彼得卻起身跑到墓地，屈身往墓裡張望，只見細麻布在那裡，便離開了，對發生的事大惑不解。
耶穌的顯現
13同一天，有兩個門徒前往離耶路撒冷十一公里的以馬忤斯村， 14一路談論著最近發生的一切事。 15正談論的時候，耶穌走過來和他們同行。 16可是，他們認不出耶穌。
17耶穌問他們：「你們一路上在談論什麼？」
他們停下腳步，滿面愁容， 18其中一個叫革流巴的說：「難道在耶路撒冷作客的人中，只有你不知道近日發生在那裡的事嗎？」
19耶穌問：「什麼事？」
他們說：「就是拿撒勒人耶穌的事。祂本來是個先知，在上帝和百姓面前言談舉止充滿力量。 20我們的祭司長和官長卻把祂押去判了死刑，釘在十字架上。
21「我們一直希望祂就是要救贖以色列的那位。還有，今天是事發後的第三天， 22我們當中有幾位婦女讓我們驚奇。她們一早到墳墓那裡， 23發現耶穌的遺體不見了，回來說天使曾向她們顯現，並告訴她們耶穌還活著。
24「後來我們有幾個人去墳墓察看，發現果然像她們所說的，不過沒有看見耶穌。」
25耶穌對他們說：「無知的人啊！為什麼遲遲不肯相信先知的話呢？ 26基督豈不是要先這樣受害，然後進入祂的榮耀嗎？」
27耶穌接著從摩西和眾先知的記載開始，把有關自己的經文都向他們講解明白。
28快到以馬忤斯村時，耶穌好像還要繼續前行。 29他們極力挽留祂，說：「天快黑了，時候不早了，跟我們一同住宿吧。」耶穌就和他們一起進村住下。
30吃飯的時候，耶穌拿起餅來，祝謝後，掰開遞給他們。 31忽然他們眼睛明亮了，認出是耶穌。耶穌就從他們眼前消失了。
32二人彼此議論說：「一路上祂和我們說話、為我們解釋聖經的時候，我們心裡不是很火熱嗎？」 33二人馬上動身趕回耶路撒冷，看到十一位使徒及其同伴正聚在一起談論： 34「主真的復活了，並向西門顯現了。」
35二人也把路上發生的事以及掰餅時認出主的經過述說了一遍。
36正說的時候，耶穌親自站在他們中間，說：「願你們平安！」 37他們又驚又怕，以為是看見了幽靈。
38耶穌說：「你們為什麼惴惴不安？為什麼心存疑惑呢？ 39你們看我的手和腳，就知道真的是我。來摸摸看，幽靈沒有骨和肉，你們看！我有。」 40說完，祂把手和腳給他們看。
41門徒又驚又喜，難以相信。耶穌問：「你們這裡有吃的嗎？」 42他們便給祂一片烤魚， 43祂接過來在他們面前吃了。
44耶穌對他們說：「我跟你們在一起的時候曾經說過，摩西的律法書、先知的書以及詩篇裡有關我的記載都要應驗。」 45於是，耶穌開了他們的心竅，使他們明白聖經， 46又對他們說：「聖經上說，基督必受害，然後在第三天從死裡復活， 47人們要奉祂的名傳揚悔改、赦罪的福音，從耶路撒冷一直傳遍萬國。
48「你們是這些事的見證人， 49我要把我父的應許賜給你們。不過，你們要留在城裡，直到得著天上來的能力。」
耶穌升天
50耶穌帶著門徒來到伯大尼附近，舉起雙手為他們祝福。 51正祝福的時候，祂就離開了他們，被接到天上去了。 52門徒都敬拜祂，然後歡歡喜喜地回到耶路撒冷。 53他們常在聖殿裡頌讚上帝。
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 kilometers 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 recognizing 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 farther. 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 recognized 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 recognized 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 worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy. 53And they stayed continually at the temple, praising God.
