耶稣复活

16 过了安息日,抹大拉的玛丽亚、雅各的母亲玛丽亚和撒罗米买了香料,要去抹耶稣的遗体。 周日清早,太阳刚刚升起,她们就去坟墓那里。 途中她们彼此议论说:“谁能替我们滚开墓口那块大石头呢?” 她们抬头一看,那块大石头已经滚到一旁。 她们进了坟墓,看见一位身穿洁白长袍的青年坐在右边,吓了一跳。 那青年对她们说:“不要害怕,你们要找那位被钉十字架的拿撒勒人耶稣吗?祂已经复活了,不在这里。你们看!这是安放祂的地方。 你们快回去,告诉祂的门徒,特别是彼得,‘祂先你们一步去了加利利,你们将在那里见到祂,正如祂以前所说的一样。’”

她们从坟墓出来,跑走了,战战兢兢,疑惑不已,什么也没有告诉他人,因为她们很害怕。

耶稣显现

耶稣在周日清晨复活后,首先向抹大拉的玛丽亚显现,耶稣曾在她身上赶出七个鬼。 10 玛丽亚赶到门徒那里,看见他们仍然在哭泣哀悼, 11 就告诉他们耶稣已经复活了,还向她显现过,但他们不相信。

12 此后,有两个门徒在去乡下的路上,看到耶稣以另一种形象向他们显现。 13 他们回去告诉其他的门徒,但门徒还是不相信。

最后的使命

14 后来,当十一位门徒在一起吃饭的时候,耶稣向他们显现,责备他们又不信又固执,因为他们不肯相信那些人在祂复活后见过祂。 15 耶稣又对他们说:“你们要到世界各地去,向全人类传扬福音。 16 相信并接受洗礼的人必定得救,不肯相信的人必被定罪。 17 必有神迹随着信我的人,他们能奉我的名赶鬼,说新的方言, 18 又能用手拿蛇,万一喝了什么毒物,也不会受害。他们把手按在病人身上,病人就可痊愈。” 19 主耶稣说完这些话,就被接回天上,坐在上帝的右边。 20 门徒出去到处传扬福音,主和他们一同工作,借着神迹证实他们所传的道。

16 And the sabbath being [now] past, Mary of Magdala, and Mary the [mother] of James, and Salome, bought aromatic spices that they might come and embalm him.

And very early on the first [day] of the week they come to the sepulchre, the sun having risen.

And they said to one another, Who shall roll us away the stone out of the door of the sepulchre?

And when they looked, they see that the stone has been rolled [away], for it was very great.

And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right, clothed in a white robe, and they were amazed and alarmed;

but he says to them, Be not alarmed. Ye seek Jesus, the Nazarene, the crucified one. He is risen, he is not here; behold the place where they had put him.

But go, tell his disciples and Peter, he goes before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him, as he said to you.

And they went out, and fled from the sepulchre. And trembling and excessive amazement possessed them, and they said nothing to any one, for they were afraid.

Now when he had risen very early, the first [day] of the week, he appeared first to Mary of Magdala, out of whom he had cast seven demons.

10 *She* went and brought word to those that had been with him, [who were] grieving and weeping.

11 And when these heard that he was alive and had been seen of her, they disbelieved [it].

12 And after these things he was manifested in another form to two of them as they walked, going into the country;

13 and *they* went and brought word to the rest; neither did they believe them.

14 Afterwards as they lay at table he was manifested to the eleven, and reproached [them with] their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who had seen him risen.

15 And he said to them, Go into all the world, and preach the glad tidings to all the creation.

16 He that believes and is baptised shall be saved, and he that disbelieves shall be condemned.

17 And these signs shall follow those that have believed: in my name they shall cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues;

18 they shall take up serpents; and if they should drink any deadly thing it shall not injure them; they shall lay hands upon the infirm, and they shall be well.

19 The Lord therefore, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat at the right hand of God.

20 And they, going forth, preached everywhere, the Lord working with [them], and confirming the word by the signs following upon [it].
