The Resurrection
(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 They found the stone rolled away from the entrance to the tomb, 3 so they went in; but they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 They stood there puzzled about this, when suddenly two men in bright shining clothes stood by them. 5 Full of fear, the women bowed down to the ground, as the men said to them, “Why are you looking among the dead for one who is alive? 6 He is not here; he has been raised. Remember what he said to you while he was in Galilee: 7 ‘The Son of Man must be handed over to sinners, be crucified, and three days later rise to life.’”
8 Then the women remembered his words, 9 returned from the tomb, and told all these things to the eleven disciples and all the rest. 10 The women were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James; they and the other women with them told these things to the apostles. 11 But the apostles thought that what the women said was nonsense, and they did not believe them. 12 But Peter got up and ran to the tomb; he bent down and saw the grave cloths but nothing else. Then he went back home amazed at what had happened.
The Walk to Emmaus
(Mark 16.12Mark 13)13 On that same day two of Jesus' followers were going to a village named Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem, 14 and they were talking to each other about all the things that had happened. 15 As they talked and discussed, Jesus himself drew near and walked along with them; 16 they saw him, but somehow did not recognize him. 17 Jesus said to them, “What are you talking about to each other, as you walk along?”
They stood still, with sad faces. 18 One of them, named Cleopas, asked him, “Are you the only visitor in Jerusalem who doesn't know the things that have been happening there these last few days?”
19 “What things?” he asked.
“The things that happened to Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered. “This man was a prophet and was considered by God and by all the people to be powerful in everything he said and did. 20 Our chief priests and rulers handed him over to be sentenced to death, and he was crucified. 21 And we had hoped that he would be the one who was going to set Israel free! Besides all that, this is now the third day since it happened. 22 Some of the women of our group surprised us; they went at dawn to the tomb, 23 but could not find his body. They came back saying they had seen a vision of angels who told them that he is alive. 24 Some of our group went to the tomb and found it exactly as the women had said, but they did not see him.”
25 Then Jesus said to them, “How foolish you are, how slow you are to believe everything the prophets said! 26 Was it not necessary for the Messiah to suffer these things and then to enter his glory?” 27 And Jesus explained to them what was said about himself in all the Scriptures, beginning with the books of Moses and the writings of all the prophets.
28 As they came near the village to which they were going, Jesus acted as if he were going farther; 29 but they held him back, saying, “Stay with us; the day is almost over and it is getting dark.” So he went in to stay with them. 30 He sat down to eat with them, took the bread, and said the blessing; then he broke the bread and gave it to them. 31 Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, but he disappeared from their sight. 32 They said to each other, “Wasn't it like a fire burning in us when he talked to us on the road and explained the Scriptures to us?”
33 They got up at once and went back to Jerusalem, where they found the eleven disciples gathered together with the others 34 and saying, “The Lord is risen indeed! He has appeared to Simon!”
35 The two then explained to them what had happened on the road, and how they had recognized the Lord when he broke the bread.
Jesus Appears to His Disciples
(Matthew 28.16-20Mark 16.14-18John 20.19-23Acts 1.6-8)36 While the two were telling them this, suddenly the Lord himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.”
37 They were terrified, thinking that they were seeing a ghost. 38 But he said to them, “Why are you alarmed? Why are these doubts coming up in your minds? 39 Look at my hands and my feet, and see that it is I myself. Feel me, and you will know, for a ghost doesn't have flesh and bones, as you can see I have.”
40 He said this and showed them his hands and his feet. 41 They still could not believe, they were so full of joy and wonder; so he asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” 42 They gave him a piece of cooked fish, 43 which he took and ate in their presence.
44 Then he said to them, “These are the very things I told you about while I was still with you: everything written about me in the Law of Moses, the writings of the prophets, and the Psalms had to come true.”
45 Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, 46 and said to them, “This is what is written: the Messiah must suffer and must rise from death three days later, 47 and in his name the message about repentance and the forgiveness of sins must be preached to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem. 48 You are witnesses of these things. 49 And I myself will send upon you what my Father has promised. But you must wait in the city until the power from above comes down upon you.”
Jesus Is Taken Up to Heaven
(Mark 16.19Mark 20Acts 1.9-11)50 Then he led them out of the city as far as Bethany, where he raised his hands and blessed them. 51 As he was blessing them, he departed from them and was taken up into heaven. 52 They worshiped him and went back into Jerusalem, filled with great joy, 53 and spent all their time in the Temple giving thanks to 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.
