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.
قيامة يسوع
(متى 28:1-10، مرقس 16:1-8، يوحنا 20:1-10)1 وجِئنَ عِندَ فَجرِ الأحَدِ إلى القَبرِ وهُنّ يَحمِلْنَ الطّيبَ الذي هَيّأنَهُ. 2 فوَجَدْنَ الحجَرَ مُدَحرَجًا عَنِ القَبرِ. 3 فدَخَلْنَ، فما وَجَدْنَ جسَدَ الرّبّ يَسوعَ. 4 وبَينَما هُنّ في حَيرَةٍ، ظهَرَ لَهُنّ رَجُلانِ علَيهِما ثِيابٌ بَرّاقَةٌ، 5 فاَرتَعَبْنَ ونكّسنَ وجُوهَهُنّ نحوَ الأرضِ، فقالَ لهُنّ الرّجُلانِ: «لِماذا تَطلُبْنَ الحَيّ بَينَ الأمواتِ؟ 6 ما هوَ هُنا، بل قامَ. أُذكُرنَ كلامَهُ لَكُنّ وهوَ في الجَليلِ، 7 حينَ قالَ: «يَجبُ أنْ يُسلّمَ اَبنُ الإنسانِ إلى أيدي الخاطِئينَ ويُصلَبَ، وفي اليومِ الثّالِثِ يَقومُ». 8 فتَذكّرنَ كلامَهُ. 9 ورَجَعْنَ مِنَ القَبرِ وأخبَرْنَ التلاميذَ الأحَدَ عشَرَ والآخَرينَ كُلّهُم بِما حدَثَ، 10 وهُنّ مَريَمُ المَجدَلِيةُ وحنّةُ ومَريَمُ أُمّ يَعقوبَ، وكذلِكَ سائِرُ النّساءِ اللّواتي رافَقنَهُنّ. 11 وظَنَ الرُسُلُ أنّهُنّ واهِماتٌ، فما صَدّقوهُنّ. 12 ولكنّ بُطرُسَ قامَ وأسرَعَ إلى القَبرِ، فلمّا اَنحَنى رَأى الأكفانَ وحدَها. فرَجَعَ مُتَعَجّبًا مِمّا حَدَثَ.
على طريق عمواس
(مرقس 16:12-13)13 وفي اليومِ نَفسِهِ، كانَ اَثنانِ مِنَ التلاميذِ في طَريقِهِما إلى قَريةٍ اَسمُها عِمواسُ، على مَسافَةِ سَبعةِ أميالٍ مِنْ أُورُشليمَ. 14 وكانا يَتَحدّثانِ بِهذِهِ الأمورِ كُلّها. 15 وبَينَما هُما يَتحَدّثانِ ويَتجادَلانِ، دَنا مِنهُما يَسوعُ نَفسُهُ ومَشى مَعَهُما، 16 ولكنّ أعيُنَهُما عَمِيَت عَنْ مَعرِفَتِهِ. 17 فقالَ لهُما: «بِماذا تَتحدّثانِ وأنتُما ماشيانِ؟» فوقفا حزينينِ. 18 فأجابَهُ أحدُهُما، واَسمُهُ كَليوباسُ: «أنتَ وحدَكَ غَريبٌ في أُورُشليمَ فلا تَعرِفُ ما حدَثَ فيها هذِهِ الأيّامَ!» 19 فقالَ يَسوعُ: «ماذا حدَثَ؟» قالا لَه: «ما حدَثَ ليَسوعَ النّاصريّ وكانَ نَبيّا قَديرًا في القولِ والعَمَلِ عِندَ اللهِ والشّعبِ كُلّهِ، 20 كيفَ أسلَمَهُ رُؤساءُ كَهَنَتِنا وزُعماؤُنا لِلحُكمِ علَيهِ بالموتِ، وكيفَ صَلبُوهُ. 21 وكُنّا نأملُ أنْ يكونَ هوَ الذي يُخَلّصُ إِسرائيلَ. ومعَ ذلِكَ، فهذا هوَ اليومُ الثّالِثُ لتِلكَ الأحداثِ التي وقَعَت. 22 لكِنّ بَعضَ النّساءِ مِنْ جَماعَتِنا حَيّرنَنا، لأنّهُنّ زُرنَ القَبرَ عِندَ الفجرِ، 23 فما وجَدْنَ جسَدَهُ، فرَجِعْنَ وقُلْنَ إنّهُنّ شاهَدْنَ ملائِكَةً ظهَروا لهُنّ وأخبَروهُنّ بأنّهُ حَيّ. 24 فذهَبَ بَعضُ رِفاقِنا إلى القَبرِ، فوَجَدوا الحالَ على ما قالَتِ النّساءُ. وأمّا هوَ، فما رأَوهُ».
25 فقالَ لهُما يَسوعُ: «ما أغباكُما وأبطأَكُما عَن الإيمانِ بكُلّ ما قالَهُ الأنبياءُ! 26 أما كانَ يَجبُ على المَسيحِ أنْ يُعانيَ هذِهِ الآلامَ، فيَدخُلَ في مَجدِهِ؟» 27 وشرَحَ لهُما ما جاءَ عَنهُ في جميعِ الكُتبِ المُقدّسةِ، مِنْ موسى إلى سائِرِ الأنبياءِ.
28 ولمّا اَقتَرَبوا مِنَ القَريةِ التي يَقصِدانِ إليها، تظاهر لهُما يَسوعُ أنّهُ ذاهِبٌ إلى مكانٍ بَعيدٍ. 29 فتَمَسّكا بِه وقالا: «أقِمْ مَعَنا، لأنّ المَساءَ اَقتَرَبَ ومالَ النّهارُ!» فدخَلَ ليُقيمَ مَعَهُما. 30 ولمّا جَلَسوا لِلطَعامِ، أخَذَ يَسوعُ خُبزًا وبارَكَ وكسَرهُ وناولَهُما. 31 فاَنفَتَحَت عُيونُهُما وعَرَفاهُ، ولكنّهُ تَوارى عن أنظارِهِما. 32 فقالَ أحدُهُما للآخَرِ: «أما كانَ قَلبُنا يَحتَرِقُ في صَدْرِنا، حينَ حَدّثَنا في الطّريقِ وشرَحَ لنا الكُتُبَ المُقدّسَةَ؟» 33 وقاما في الحالِ ورَجَعا إلى أُورُشليمَ، فوَجَدا الرّسُلَ الأحدَ عشَرَ ورِفاقَهُم مُجتَمِعينَ، 34 وكانوا يَقولونَ: «قامَ الرّبّ حقّا وظهَرَ لِسِمعانَ!» 35 فأخبَراهُم بِما حدَثَ في الطّريقِ، وكيفَ عَرَفا الرّبّ عِندَ كَسرِ الخُبزِ.
يسوع يظهر للتلاميذ
(متى 28:16-20، مرقس 16:14-18، يوحنا 20:19-23، أعمال 1:6-8)36 وبَينَما التِلميذانِ يتكَلّمانِ، ظهَرَ هوَ نَفسُهُ بَينَهُم وقالَ لهُم: «سَلامٌ علَيكُم!» 37 فخافوا واَرتَعَبوا، وظَنّوا أنّهُم يرَونَ شَبَحًا. 38 فقالَ لهُم: «ما بالُكُم مُضطَربينَ، ولِماذا ثارَتِ الشّكوكُ في نُفوسِكُم؟ 39 أُنظُروا إلى يَدَيّ ورِجلَيّ، أنا هوَ. إلمِسوني وتَحَقّقوا. الشّبَحُ لا يكونُ لَه لَحمٌ وعَظْمٌ كما تَرونَ لي». 40 قالَ هذا وأراهُم يَدَيهِ ورِجلَيهِ. 41 ولكنّهُم ظَلّوا غَيرَ مُصدّقِينَ مِنْ شِدّةِ الفرَحِ والدّهشَةِ.
فقالَ لهُم: «أعِندَكم طَعامٌ هُنا؟» 42 فناوَلوهُ قِطعَةَ سَمَكٍ مَشوِيّ، 43 فأخَذَ وأكَلَ أمامَ أنظارِهِم. 44 ثُمّ قالَ لَهُم: «عِندَما كُنتُ بَعدُ مَعَكُم قُلتُ لكُم: لا بُدّ أنْ يتِمّ لي كُلّ ما جاءَ عنّي في شريعةِ موسى وكُتُبِ الأنبياءِ والمزاميرِ». 45 ثُمّ فتَحَ أذهانَهُم ليَفهَموا الكُتُبَ المُقَدّسَةَ، 46 وقالَ لهُم: «هذا ما جاءَ فيها، وهوَ أنّ المَسيحَ يتألّمُ ويَقومُ مِنْ بَينِ الأمواتِ في اليومِ الثّالِثِ، 47 وتُعلَنُ باَسمِهِ بِشارَةُ التّوبَةِ لغُفرانِ الخطايا إلى جميعِ الشّعوبِ، اَبتداءً مِنْ أُورُشليمَ. 48 وأنتُم شُهودٌ على ذلِكَ. 49 وسأُرسِلُ إليكُم ما وعَدَ بِه أبي. فأقيموا في مدينةِ أُورُشليمَ إلى أنْ تَحُلّ علَيكُمُ القُوّةُ مِنَ العُلى».
صعود يسوع إلى السماء
(مرقس 16:19-20، أعمال 1:9-11)50 ثُمّ خرَجَ بِهِم إلى بَيتِ عنيا، ورفَعَ يَديَهِ وبارَكَهُم. 51 وبَينَما هوَ يُبارِكُهُم، اَنفَصَل عَنهُم ورُفِعَ إلى السّماءِ، 52 فسَجَدوا لَه، ورَجَعوا إلى أُورُشليمَ وهُم في فرَحٍ عَظيمٍ. 53 وكانوا كُلّ حينٍ في الهَيكلِ يُبارِكونَ اللهَ.
