耶稣复活

28 安息日刚过,周日黎明时分,抹大拉的玛丽亚和另一位玛丽亚一同到坟墓去察看。

突然,大地剧烈地震动,上帝的天使从天而降,推开堵着墓穴的石头,坐在上面。 他的容貌如闪电,衣裳洁白如雪。 看守墓穴的卫兵吓得要死,浑身发抖。

天使对那两个女人说:“不要怕,我知道你们是在找那位被钉十字架的耶稣。 祂不在这里,正如祂所说的,祂已经复活了。你们来看,这是安放祂的地方。 现在你们快回去,把这消息告诉祂的门徒,祂已经从死里复活,先你们一步去了加利利,你们将在那里见到祂。记住,我已经告诉你们了。”

她们听了又惊又喜,连忙离开坟墓,跑去告诉门徒。 忽然,耶稣迎面而来,对她们说:“愿你们平安!”她们就上前抱住祂的脚敬拜祂。

10 耶稣对她们说:“不要害怕。去告诉我的弟兄,叫他们到加利利去,他们将在那里见到我。”

行贿造谣

11 她们还在赶路的时候,有些守墓的卫兵已经进城把整件事告诉祭司长。 12 祭司长和长老聚集商议,决定用重金买通守墓的卫兵,又吩咐他们: 13 “你们就说,‘半夜里我们熟睡的时候,耶稣的门徒把祂的尸体偷走了。’ 14 如果这件事传到总督那里,我们一定会替你们出面,保你们无事。” 15 守卫收下钱,便依照吩咐去做。于是,这说法在犹太人中一直流传到今天。

大使命

16 十一个门徒赶到加利利,到了耶稣和他们约定的山上, 17 看到耶稣就敬拜祂,但有些人仍然心存疑惑。 18 耶稣上前对门徒说:

“天上地下所有的权柄都交给我了。 19 所以,你们要去使万民做我的门徒,奉父、子、圣灵的名给他们施洗, 20 教导他们遵守我吩咐你们的一切。记住,我必常与你们同在,一直到世界的末了。”

耶稣复活(A)

28 过了安息日,在礼拜日天亮的时候,抹大拉的马利亚和另一个马利亚来看坟墓。 忽然,地震得很厉害;主的使者从天上下来,把石头辊开,坐在上面。 他的样子好象闪电,衣服洁白如雪。 看守的人因为害怕他,就浑身战抖,好象死了一样。 那使者对妇女们说:“你们不要怕,我知道你们在找被钉十字架的耶稣。 他不在这里,已经照他所说的复活了。你们来看安放他的地方吧。 快去告诉他的门徒:‘他已经从死人中复活了。他会比你们先到加利利去,你们在那里必看见他。’现在我已经告诉你们了。” 她们立刻离开坟墓,又害怕,又十分欢喜,跑去告诉耶稣的门徒。 忽然,耶稣向她们迎面而来,说:“你们好。”她们就上前,抱住他的脚拜他。 10 耶稣对她们说:“不要怕,去告诉我的弟兄,叫他们到加利利去,他们在那里必看见我。”

卫兵受贿造谣

11 她们去的时候,有些卫兵进了城,把一切所发生的事向祭司长报告。 12 祭司长就和长老聚集在一起商量,然后拿许多钱给士兵, 13 说:“你们要这样说:‘他的门徒晚上来了,趁我们睡着的时候,把他偷走了。’ 14 如果总督知道了这件事,我们会说服他,不会牵连你们。” 15 士兵收了钱,就照着祭司长和长老的指使去作。这种说法直到今日还流传在犹太人当中。

主交给门徒的使命(B)

16 十一个门徒往加利利去,到了耶稣指定的山上。 17 他们看见耶稣就拜他,但仍然有些人怀疑。 18 耶稣上前来,对他们说:“天上地上一切权柄都赐给我了。 19 所以,你们要去使万民作我的门徒,奉父子圣灵的名,给他们施洗(“奉父子圣灵的名,给他们施洗”或译:“给他们施洗,归入父子圣灵的名”), 20 我吩咐你们的一切,都要教导他们遵守。这样,我就常常与你们同在,直到这世代的终结。”

Jesus Has Risen(A)

28 After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene(B) and the other Mary(C) went to look at the tomb.

There was a violent earthquake,(D) for an angel(E) of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone(F) and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow.(G) The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.

The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid,(H) for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said.(I) Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee.(J) There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”

So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. Suddenly Jesus met them.(K) “Greetings,” he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him. 10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers(L) to go to Galilee; there they will see me.”

The Guards’ Report

11 While the women were on their way, some of the guards(M) went into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had happened. 12 When the chief priests had met with the elders and devised a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money, 13 telling them, “You are to say, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole him away(N) while we were asleep.’ 14 If this report gets to the governor,(O) we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.” 15 So the soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has been widely circulated among the Jews to this very day.

The Great Commission

16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go.(P) 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.(Q) 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations,(R) baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,(S) 20 and teaching(T) them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you(U) always, to the very end of the age.”(V)

He Is Risen(A)

28 Now (B)after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene (C)and the other Mary came to see the tomb. And behold, there was a great earthquake; for (D)an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone [a]from the door, and sat on it. (E)His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like (F)dead men.

But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for He is risen, (G)as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed (H)He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you.”

So they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word.

The Women Worship the Risen Lord

And [b]as they went to tell His disciples, behold, (I)Jesus met them, saying, “Rejoice!” So they came and held Him by the feet and worshiped Him. 10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell (J)My brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see Me.”

The Soldiers Are Bribed

11 Now while they were going, behold, some of the guard came into the city and reported to the chief priests all the things that had happened. 12 When they had assembled with the elders and consulted together, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers, 13 saying, “Tell them, ‘His disciples came at night and stole Him away while we slept.’ 14 And if this comes to the governor’s ears, we will appease him and make you secure.” 15 So they took the money and did as they were instructed; and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.

The Great Commission(K)

16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain (L)which Jesus had appointed for them. 17 When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some (M)doubted.

18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, (N)“All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 (O)Go [c]therefore and (P)make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 (Q)teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am (R)with you always, even to the end of the age.” [d]Amen.
