Jesus Is Alive
(Matthew 28.1-10Mark 16.1-8John 20.1-10)1 Very early on Sunday morning the women went to the tomb, carrying the spices they had prepared. 2 When they found the stone rolled away from the entrance, 3 they went in. But they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus, 4 and they did not know what to think.
Suddenly two men in shining white clothes stood beside them. 5 The women were afraid and bowed to the ground. But the men said, “Why are you looking in the place of the dead for someone who is alive? 6 Jesus isn't here! He has been raised from death. Remember that while he was still in Galilee, he told you, 7 ‘The Son of Man will be handed over to sinners who will nail him to a cross. But three days later he will rise to life.’ ” 8 Then they remembered what Jesus had said.
9-10 Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and some other women were the ones who had gone to the tomb. When they returned, they told the eleven apostles and the others what had happened. 11 The apostles thought it was all nonsense, and they would not believe.
12 But Peter ran to the tomb. And when he stooped down and looked in, he saw only the burial clothes. Then he returned, wondering what had happened.
Jesus Appears to Two Disciples
(Mark 16.12Mark 13)13 That same day two of Jesus' disciples were going to the village of Emmaus, which was about eleven kilometers from Jerusalem. 14 As they were talking and thinking about what had happened, 15 Jesus came near and started walking along beside them. 16 But they did not know who he was.
17 Jesus asked them, “What were you talking about as you walked along?”
The two of them stood there looking sad and gloomy. 18 Then the one named Cleopas asked Jesus, “Are you the only person from Jerusalem who didn't know what was happening there these last few days?”
19 “What do you mean?” Jesus asked.
They answered:
Those things that happened to Jesus from Nazareth. By what he did and said he showed that he was a powerful prophet, who pleased God and all the people. 20 Then the chief priests and our leaders had him arrested and sentenced to die on a cross. 21 We had hoped that he would be the one to set Israel free! But it has already been three days since all this happened.
22 Some women in our group surprised us. They had gone to the tomb early in the morning, 23 but did not find the body of Jesus. They came back, saying they had seen a vision of angels who told them that he is alive. 24 Some men from our group went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said. But they didn't see Jesus either.
25 Then Jesus asked the two disciples, “Why can't you understand? How can you be so slow to believe all that the prophets said? 26 Didn't you know that the Messiah would have to suffer before he was given his glory?” 27 Jesus then explained everything written about himself in the Scriptures, beginning with the Law of Moses and the Books of the Prophets.
28 When the two of them came near the village where they were going, Jesus seemed to be going farther. 29 They begged him, “Stay with us! It's already late, and the sun is going down.” So Jesus went into the house to stay with them.
30 After Jesus sat down to eat, he took some bread. He blessed it and broke it. Then he gave it to them. 31 At once they knew who he was, but he disappeared. 32 They said to each other, “When he talked with us along the road and explained the Scriptures to us, didn't it warm our hearts?” 33 So they got up and returned to Jerusalem.
The two disciples found the eleven apostles and the others gathered together. 34 And they learned from the group that the Lord was really alive and had appeared to Peter. 35 Then the disciples from Emmaus told what happened on the road and how they knew he was the Lord when he broke the bread.
What Jesus' Followers Must Do
(Matthew 28.16-20Mark 16.14-18John 20.19-23Acts 1.6-8)36 While Jesus' disciples were talking about what had happened, Jesus appeared and greeted them. 37 They were frightened and terrified because they thought they were seeing a ghost.
38 But Jesus said, “Why are you so frightened? Why do you doubt? 39 Look at my hands and my feet and see who I am! Touch me and find out for yourselves. Ghosts don't have flesh and bones as you see I have.”
40 After Jesus said this, he showed them his hands and his feet. 41 The disciples were so glad and amazed that they could not believe it. Jesus then asked them, “Do you have something to eat?” 42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish. 43 He took it and ate it as they watched.
44 Jesus said to them, “While I was still with you, I told you that everything written about me in the Law of Moses, the Books of the Prophets, and in the Psalms had to happen.”
45 Then he helped them understand the Scriptures. 46 He told them:
The Scriptures say that the Messiah must suffer, then three days later he will rise from death. 47 They also say that all people of every nation must be told in my name to turn to God, in order to be forgiven. So beginning in Jerusalem, 48 you must tell everything that has happened. 49 I will send you the one my Father has promised, but you must stay in the city until you are given power from heaven.
Jesus Returns to Heaven
(Mark 16.19Mark 20Acts 1.9-11)50 Jesus led his disciples out to Bethany, where he raised his hands and blessed them. 51 As he was doing this, he left and was taken up to heaven. 52 After his disciples had worshiped him, they returned to Jerusalem and were very happy. 53 They spent their time in the temple, praising God.
Jēzus augšāmcelšanās
(Mt 28:1–10Mk 16:1–8Jņ 20:1–10)1 Nedēļas pirmajā dienā pašā rīta agrumā viņas atnāca pie kapa, nesdamas smaržīgās zāles, ko bija sagatavojušas. 2 Bet tās atrada akmeni no kapa noveltu. 3 Iegājušas iekšā, tās Kunga Jēzus miesas neatrada. 4 Kamēr viņas bija apjukušas par to, kas noticis, redzi, tām blakus nostājās divi vīri spoži mirdzošās drānās. 5 Tās izbailēs zemu nolieca galvas, bet viņi tām sacīja: “Ko jūs meklējat dzīvo starp mirušajiem? 6 Šeit viņa nav, viņš ir augšāmcēlies. Atcerieties, ko viņš jums sacīja, vēl būdams Galilejā: 7 Cilvēka Dēlam jātiek nodotam grēcīgu cilvēku rokās un krustā sistam un trešajā dienā jāceļas no mirušajiem.” 8 Un tās atcerējās viņa vārdus. 9 Atgriezušās no kapa, viņas visu pastāstīja tiem vienpadsmit un arī pārējiem. 10 Tās bija Marija Magdalēna un Joanna, un Marija, Jēkaba māte, un vēl citas ar tām, kas pastāstīja to apustuļiem. 11 Taču viņu stāstītais tiem šķita kā blēņas, un tie viņām neticēja. 12 Bet Pēteris piecēlies aizskrēja pie kapa un, ielūkojies tajā, redzēja tikai noliktu linu autu; un viņš aizgāja, brīnīdamies par to, kas noticis.
Ceļš uz Emmausu
(Mk 16:12–13)13 Un, redzi, divi no tiem tajā pašā dienā devās ceļā uz Emmausu – ciemu, kas atradās sešdesmit stadiju attālumā no Jeruzālemes. 14 Viņi pārrunāja visu, kas bija noticis. 15 Un, viņiem runājot un spriežot, pats Jēzus pienāca un gāja kopā ar viņiem. 16 Bet to acīm nebija ļauts viņu pazīt! 17 Un viņš tiem sacīja: “Par ko jūs te iedami spriežat savā starpā?” Viņi noskumuši apstājās, 18 un viens no viņiem, vārdā Kleops, atbildēja: “Tu esi vienīgais, kas, Jeruzālemē būdams, nezini, kas šajās dienās tur noticis.” 19 Viņš jautāja: “Kas tad?” Un tie viņam sacīja: “Tas, kas notika ar Jēzu, Nācarieti, vīru, kas bija pravietis, varens darbos un vārdos Dieva un visu ļaužu priekšā, 20 kā virspriesteri un mūsu vadoņi viņu nodeva, lai notiesātu uz nāvi, un kā viņu piesita krustā. 21 Bet mēs cerējām, ka viņš ir tas, kas izglābs Israēlu; un nu jau ir trešā diena, kopš tas viss noticis. 22 Mūs pārsteidza arī dažas sievietes no mūsu vidus, kas rīta agrumā bija aizgājušas pie kapa 23 un neatrada viņa miesas. Viņas pārnāca un stāstīja mums, ka redzējušas eņģeļu parādību, un tie sacījuši, ka viņš ir dzīvs. 24 Tad daži no mūsējiem aizgāja pie kapa un atrada visu tā, kā sievietes bija sacījušas, bet viņu pašu tie neredzēja.” 25 Un viņš tiem sacīja: “Ak, jūs nesaprātīgie un sirdī kūtrie ticēt visam, ko runājuši pravieši! 26 Vai Kristum tā nevajadzēja ciest un ieiet savā godībā?” 27 Un, iesākdams no Mozus un visiem praviešiem, viņš tiem izskaidroja, kas visos Rakstos sacīts par viņu. 28 Viņi jau bija nonākuši pie tā ciema, kurp devās, un Jēzus izlikās, it kā ietu tālāk. 29 Bet tie sāka viņu pierunāt: “Paliec pie mums, jo tuvojas vakars un diena jau galā.” Un viņš iegāja, lai paliktu kopā ar tiem. 30 Kad viņš apsēdās ar tiem pie galda, viņš ņēma maizi, to svētīja un pārlauzis deva tiem. 31 Tad viņu acis atvērās un tie viņu pazina; bet viņš tiem kļuva neredzams. 32 Un viņi sacīja viens otram: “Vai mūsu sirds nedega, kad viņš ar mums runāja, Rakstus izskaidrodams?” 33 Tajā pašā stundā viņi piecēlušies griezās atpakaļ uz Jeruzālemi un atrada tur sapulcējušos tos vienpadsmit un citus kopā ar tiem, 34 un viņi sacīja: “Kungs patiesi ir augšāmcēlies un parādījies Sīmanim.” 35 Un viņi izstāstīja, kas notika ceļā un kā tie viņu pazina, kad viņš lauza maizi.
Jēzus parādās mācekļiem
(Mt 28:16–20Mk 16:14–18Jņ 20:19–23Apd 1:6–8)36 Viņiem tā runājot, Jēzus nostājās viņu vidū un sacīja viņiem: “Miers ar jums.” 37 Satrūkušies un baiļu pārņemti, tie domāja, ka redz garu. 38 Bet viņš tiem sacīja: “Kādēļ esat satraukti un jūsu sirdīs ceļas šaubas? 39 Uzlūkojiet manas rokas un manas kājas – tas esmu es. Aptaustiet mani un skatieties, garam nav miesas un kaulu, kā jūs redzat man.” 40 Un, to teicis, viņš parādīja viņiem rokas un kājas. 41 Kad viņi no prieka vēl neticēja un brīnījās, viņš tiem sacīja: “Vai jums šeit ir kas ēdams?” 42 Tad tie iedeva viņam ceptas zivs gabalu, 43 un viņš to ņēma un ēda viņu acu priekšā. 44 Tad viņš teica: “Šie ir mani vārdi, ko es jums sacīju, kad biju pie jums! Visam jāpiepildās, kas par mani sacīts Mozus bauslībā, praviešos un psalmos.” 45 Tad viņš lika viņu prātam atvērties, ka tie saprastu Rakstus, 46 un sacīja: “Tā ir rakstīts, ka Kristus cietīs un augšāmcelsies no mirušajiem trešajā dienā, 47 un viņa vārdā visām tautām, sākot no Jeruzālemes, tiks sludināta atgriešanās, lai saņemtu grēku piedošanu; 48 jūs tam esat liecinieki. 49 Un, redzi, es jums sūtu sava Tēva apsolījumu. Bet jūs palieciet pilsētā, līdz tapsiet ietērpti spēkā no augšienes.”
Jēzus pacelšana debesīs
(Mk 16:19–20Apd 1:9–11)50 Viņš tos izveda ārā līdz pat Bētanijai un, savas rokas pacēlis, svētīja. 51 Kad viņš tos svētīja, notika, ka viņš attālinājās no tiem un tika pacelts debesīs. 52 Tad tie viņu pielūdza un ļoti priecīgi atgriezās Jeruzālemē, 53 un pastāvīgi bija templī, slavēdami Dievu.
