1 Then, on the first Sabbath, at very first light, they went to the tomb, carrying the aromatic spices that they had prepared.
1 Y EL primer [día] de la semana, muy de mañana, vinieron al sepulcro, trayendo las [drogas] aromáticas que habían aparejado, y algunas [otras mujeres] con ellas.
2 And they found the stone rolled back from the tomb.
2 Y hallaron la piedra revuelta del sepulcro.
3 And upon entering, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
3 Y entrando, no hallaron el cuerpo del Señor Jesús.
4 And it happened that, while their minds were still confused about this, behold, two men stood beside them, in shining apparel.
4 Y aconteció, que estando ellas espantadas de esto, he aquí se pararon junto á ellas dos varones con vestiduras resplandecientes;
5 Then, since they were afraid and were turning their faces toward the ground, these two said to them: “Why do you seek the living with the dead?
5 Y como tuviesen ellas temor, y bajasen el rostro á tierra, les dijeron: ¿Por qué buscáis entre los muertos al que vive?
6 He is not here, for he has risen. Recall how he spoke to you, when he was still in Galilee,
6 No está aquí, mas ha resucitado: acordaos de lo que os habló, cuando aun estaba en Galilea,
7 saying: ‘For the Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’ ”
7 Diciendo: Es menester que el Hijo del hombre sea entregado en manos de hombres pecadores, y que sea crucificado, y resucite al tercer día.
8 And they called to mind his words.
8 Entonces ellas se acordaron de sus palabras,
9 And returning from the tomb, they reported all these things to the eleven, and to all the others.
9 Y volviendo del sepulcro, dieron nuevas de todas estas cosas á los once, y á todos los demás.
10 Now it was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary of James, and the other women who were with them, who told these things to the Apostles.
10 Y eran María Magdalena, y Juana, y María [madre] de Jacobo, y las demás con ellas, las que dijeron estas cosas á los apóstoles.
11 But these words seemed to them a delusion. And so they did not believe them.
11 Mas á ellos les parecían como locura las palabras de ellas, y no las creyeron.
12 But Peter, rising up, ran to the tomb. And stooping down, he saw the linen cloths positioned alone, and he went away wondering to himself about what had happened.
12 Pero levantándose Pedro, corrió al sepulcro: y como miró dentro, vió solos los lienzos echados; y se fué maravillándose de lo que había sucedido.
13 And behold, two of them went out, on the same day, to a town named Emmaus, which was the distance of sixty stadia from Jerusalem.
13 Y he aquí, dos de ellos iban el mismo día á una aldea que estaba de Jerusalem sesenta estadios, llamada Emmaús.
14 And they spoke to one another about all of these things that had occurred.
14 E iban hablando entre sí de todas aquellas cosas que habían acaecido.
15 And it happened that, while they were speculating and questioning within themselves, Jesus himself, drawing near, traveled with them.
15 Y aconteció que yendo hablando entre sí, y preguntándose el uno al otro, el mismo Jesús se llegó, é iba con ellos juntamente.
16 But their eyes were restrained, so that they would not recognize him.
16 Mas los ojos de ellos estaban embargados, para que no le conociesen.
17 And he said to them, “What are these words, which you are discussing with one another, as you walk and are sad?”
17 Y díjoles: ¿Qué pláticas son estas que tratáis entre vosotros andando, y estáis tristes?
18 And one of them, whose name was Cleopas, responded by saying to him, “Are you the only one visiting Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?”
18 Y respondiendo el uno, que se llamaba Cleofas, le dijo: ¿Tú sólo peregrino eres en Jerusalem, y no has sabido las cosas que en ella han acontecido estos días?
19 And he said to them, “What things?” And they said, “About Jesus of Nazareth, who was a noble prophet, powerful in works and in words, before God and all the people.
19 Entonces él les dijo: ¿Qué cosas? Y ellos le dijeron: De Jesús Nazareno, el cual fué varón profeta, poderoso en obra y en palabra delante de Dios y de todo el pueblo;
20 And how our high priests and leaders handed him over to be condemned to death. And they crucified him.
20 Y cómo le entregaron los príncipes de los sacerdotes y nuestros príncipes á condenación de muerte, y le crucificaron.
21 But we were hoping that he would be the Redeemer of Israel. And now, on top of all this, today is the third day since these things have happened.
21 Mas nosotros esperábamos que él era el que había de redimir á Israel: y ahora sobre todo esto, hoy es el tercer día que esto ha acontecido.
22 Then, too, certain women from among us terrified us. For before daytime, they were at the tomb,
22 Aunque también unas mujeres de los nuestros nos han espantado, las cuales antes del día fueron al sepulcro:
23 and, having not found his body, they returned, saying that they had even seen a vision of Angels, who said that he is alive.
23 Y no hallando su cuerpo, vinieron diciendo que también habían visto visión de ángeles, los cuales dijeron que él vive.
24 And some of us went out to the tomb. And they found it just as the women had said. But truly, they did not find him.”
24 Y fueron algunos de los nuestros al sepulcro, y hallaron así como las mujeres habían dicho; mas á él no le vieron.
25 And he said to them: “How foolish and reluctant in heart you are, to believe everything that has been spoken by the Prophets!
25 Entonces él les dijo: ¡Oh insensatos, y tardos de corazón para creer todo lo que los profetas han dicho!
26 Was not the Christ required to suffer these things, and so enter into his glory?”
26 ¿No era necesario que el Cristo padeciera estas cosas, y que entrara en su gloria?
27 And beginning from Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted for them, in all the Scriptures, the things that were about him.
27 Y comenzando desde Moisés, y de todos los profetas, declarábales en todas las Escrituras lo que de él decían.
28 And they drew near to the town where they were going. And he conducted himself so as to go on further.
28 Y llegaron á la aldea á donde iban: y él hizo como que iba más lejos.
29 But they were insistent with him, saying, “Remain with us, because it is toward evening and now daylight is declining.” And so he entered with them.
29 Mas ellos le detuvieron por fuerza, diciendo: Quédate con nosotros, porque se hace tarde, y el día ya ha declinado. Entró pues á estarse con ellos.
30 And it happened that, while he was at table with them, he took bread, and he blessed and broke it, and he extended it to them.
30 Y aconteció, que estando sentado con ellos á la mesa, tomando el pan, bendijo, y partió, y dióles.
31 And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And he vanished from their eyes.
31 Entonces fueron abiertos los ojos de ellos, y le conocieron; mas él se desapareció de los ojos de ellos.
32 And they said to one another, “Was not our heart burning within us, while he was speaking on the way, and when he opened the Scriptures to us?”
32 Y decían el uno al otro: ¿No ardía nuestro corazón en nosotros, mientras nos hablaba en el camino, y cuando nos abría las Escrituras?
33 And rising up at that same hour, they returned to Jerusalem. And they found the eleven gathered together, and those who were with them,
33 Y levantándose en la misma hora, tornáronse á Jerusalem, y hallaron á los once reunidos, y á los que estaban con ellos.
34 saying: “In truth, the Lord has risen, and he has appeared to Simon.”
34 Que decían: Ha resucitado el Señor verdaderamente, y ha aparecido á Simón.
35 And they explained the things that were done on the way, and how they had recognized him at the breaking of the bread.
35 Entonces ellos contaban las cosas que [les habían acontecido] en el camino, y cómo había sido conocido de ellos al partir el pan.
36 Then, while they were talking about these things, Jesus stood in their midst, And he said to them: “Peace be with you. It is I. Do not be afraid.”
36 Y entre tanto que ellos hablaban estas cosas, él se puso en medio de ellos, y les dijo: Paz á vosotros.
37 Yet truly, they were very disturbed and terrified, supposing that they saw a spirit.
37 Entonces ellos espantados y asombrados, pensaban que veían espíritu.
38 And he said to them: “Why are you disturbed, and why do these thoughts rise up in your hearts?
38 Mas él les dice: ¿Por qué estáis turbados, y suben pensamientos á vuestros corazones?
39 See my hands and feet, that it is I myself. Look and touch. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see that I have.”
39 Mirad mis manos y mis pies, que yo mismo soy: palpad, y ved; que el espíritu ni tiene carne ni huesos, como veis que yo tengo.
40 And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet.
40 Y en diciendo esto, les mostró las manos y los pies.
41 Then, while they were still in disbelief and in wonder out of joy, he said, “Do you have anything here to eat?”
41 Y no creyéndolo aún ellos de gozo, y maravillados, díjoles: ¿Tenéis aquí algo de comer?
42 And they offered him a piece of roasted fish and a honeycomb.
42 Entonces ellos le presentaron parte de un pez asado, y un panal de miel.
43 And when he had eaten these in their sight, taking up what was left, he gave it to them.
43 Y él tomó, y comió delante de ellos.
44 And he said to them: “These are the words that I spoke to you when I was still with you, because all things must be fulfilled which are written in the law of Moses, and in the Prophets, and in the Psalms about me.”
44 Y él les dijo: Estas son las palabras que os hablé, estando aún con vosotros: que era necesario que se cumpliesen todas las cosas que están escritas de mí en la ley de Moisés, y en los profetas, y en los salmos.
45 Then he opened their mind, so that they might understand the Scriptures.
45 Entonces les abrió el sentido, para que entendiesen las Escrituras;
46 And he said to them: “For so it is written, and so it was necessary, for the Christ to suffer and to rise up from the dead on the third day,
46 Y díjoles: Así está escrito, y así fué necesario que el Cristo padeciese, y resucitase de los muertos al tercer día;
47 and, in his name, for repentance and the remission of sins to be preached, among all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
47 Y que se predicase en su nombre el arrepentimiento y la remisión de pecados en todas las naciones, comenzando de Jerusalem.
48 And you are witnesses of these things.
48 Y vosotros sois testigos de estas cosas.
49 And I am sending the Promise of my Father upon you. But you must stay in the city, until such time as you are clothed with power from on high.”
49 Y he aquí, yo enviaré la promesa de mi Padre sobre vosotros: mas vosotros asentad en la ciudad de Jerusalem, hasta que seáis investidos de potencia de lo alto.
50 Then he led them out as far as Bethania. And lifting up his hands, he blessed them.
50 Y sacólos fuera hasta Bethania, y alzando sus manos, los bendijo.
51 And it happened that, while he was blessing them, he withdrew from them, and he was carried up into heaven.
51 Y aconteció que bendiciéndolos, se fué de ellos; y era llevado arriba al cielo.
52 And worshiping, they returned to Jerusalem with great joy.
52 Y ellos, después de haberle adorado, se volvieron á Jerusalem con gran gozo;
53 And they were always in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
53 Y estaban siempre en el templo, alabando y bendiciendo á Dios. Amén.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
The Lord appeared to His disciples after His resurrection, as ye have heard, and saluted them, saying, "Peace be unto you." This is peace indeed, and the salutation of salvation: for the very word salutation has received its name from salvation. And what can be better than that Salvation Itself should salute man? For Christ is our Salvation.

… was that the Lord discoursed with the disciples after His resurrection from the dead, proving to them from the Scriptures themselves "that Christ must suffer, and enter into His glory, and that remission of sins should be preached in His name throughout all the world." And the disciple will be perfected, and [rendered] like the householder, "who bringeth forth from …

His running to the fig-tree, His shrinking, that is, His drawing back, His praying, and His making as though He would have gone further For neither as God nor as man was He in need of these or similar things, but only because His form was that of a man as necessity and expediency demanded.
