5 T hey were very much afraid and got down with their faces to the ground. The men said to them, “Why do you look for the living One among those who are dead?

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 H e is not here. He is risen. Do you not remember what He said to you when He was yet in Galilee?

Ele não está aqui! Ressuscitou! Lembrem-se do que ele lhes disse, quando ainda estava com vocês na Galiléia:

7 H e said, ‘The Son of Man must be given over into the hands of sinful men. He must be nailed to a cross. He will rise again three days later.’”

‘É necessário que o Filho do homem seja entregue nas mãos de homens pecadores, seja crucificado e ressuscite no terceiro dia’”.

Então se lembraram das palavras de Jesus.

No caminho, conversavam a respeito de tudo o que havia acontecido.

mas os olhos deles foram impedidos de reconhecê-lo.

17 H e said to them, “What are you talking about as you walk?” They stood still and looked sad.

Ele lhes perguntou: “Sobre o que vocês estão discutindo enquanto caminham?” Eles pararam, com os rostos entristecidos.

18 O ne of them, whose name was Cleopas, said to Him, “Are you the only one visiting Jerusalem who has not heard of the things that have happened here these days?”

Um deles, chamado Cleopas, perguntou-lhe: “Você é o único visitante em Jerusalém que não sabe das coisas que ali aconteceram nestes dias?”

19 J esus said to them, “What things?” They answered, “The things about Jesus of Nazareth. He was the great One Who spoke for God. He did powerful works and spoke powerful words in the sight of God and the people.

e não acharam o corpo dele. Voltaram e nos contaram ter tido uma visão de anjos, que disseram que ele está vivo.

24 S ome of those who were with us went to the grave and found it as the women had said. But they did not see Him.”

Alguns dos nossos companheiros foram ao sepulcro e encontraram tudo exatamente como as mulheres tinham dito, mas não o viram.”

25 T hen Jesus said to them, “You foolish men. How slow you are to believe what the early preachers have said.

Ele lhes disse: “Como vocês custam a entender e como demoram a crer em tudo o que os profetas falaram!

26 D id not Christ have to go through these hard things to come into His shining-greatness?”

Não devia o Cristo sofrer estas coisas, para entrar na sua glória?”

30 A s He sat at the table with them, He took the bread and gave thanks and broke it. Then He gave it to them.

Quando estava à mesa com eles, tomou o pão, deu graças, partiu-o e o deu a eles.

31 A nd their eyes were opened and they knew Him. Then He left them and could not be seen.

Então os olhos deles foram abertos e o reconheceram, e ele desapareceu da vista deles.

32 T hey said to each other, “Were not our hearts filled with joy when He talked to us on the road about what the Holy Writings said?”

Perguntaram-se um ao outro: “Não estava queimando o nosso coração, enquanto ele nos falava no caminho e nos expunha as Escrituras?”

33 T hen they got up at once and went back to Jerusalem. They found the eleven followers together and others with them.

Levantaram-se e voltaram imediatamente para Jerusalém. Ali encontraram os Onze e os que estavam com eles reunidos,

Eles ficaram assustados e com medo, pensando que estavam vendo um espírito.

Ele lhes disse: “Por que vocês estão perturbados e por que se levantam dúvidas no coração de vocês?

39 L ook at My hands and My feet. See! It is I, Myself! Touch Me and see for yourself. A spirit does not have flesh and bones as I have.”

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 W hen Jesus had said this, He showed them His hands and feet.

Tendo dito isso, mostrou-lhes as mãos e os pés.

41 T hey still wondered. It was hard for them to believe it and yet it made them happy. Then He said to them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”
