復活的清晨

28 過了安息日,在一週的頭一天[a],黎明的時候,茉大拉瑪麗亞和另一個瑪麗亞來看墳墓。 忽然發生了強烈的地震,主的一位天使從天上降下來,上前把那石頭[b]滾開,坐在上面。 他的容貌像閃電,衣服潔白如雪。 看守的衛兵們因怕天使就渾身發抖,變得像死人那樣。

天使對婦女們說:「你們不要怕!我知道你們是在尋找被釘十字架的耶穌。 他不在這裡,因為他已經復活[c]了,正如他所說過的。你們來看安放他[d]的地方。 趕快去告訴他的門徒們:『他從死人中復活了。看哪,他要在你們之前到加利利去。在那裡,你們將見到他。』看哪,我已經告訴你們了!」

她們立即離開墓穴,又懼怕,又大大歡喜,跑去告訴耶穌的門徒們。 這時候[e],忽然耶穌迎面而來,說:「願你們歡喜!」她們就上前來抱住他的腳拜他。 10 耶穌對她們說:「不要怕!去告訴我的弟兄們,要他們到加利利去。在那裡,他們將見到我。」

士兵受賄造謠

11 她們離去的時候,正好有一些衛兵進了城,把所發生的事都報告給祭司長們。 12 祭司長們就與長老們一起聚集商議,給了士兵們許多銀錢, 13 說:「你們要說:『他的門徒們夜裡來,趁我們睡著的時候,把他偷走了。』 14 如果這事被總督聽見了,我們會說服他,保證你們無事。」 15 士兵們收了銀錢,就照所指示的去做。於是這說法就流傳在猶太人當中,直到今天。

大使命

16 十一個門徒往加利利去,到了耶穌給他們指定的那座山上。 17 他們看見耶穌,就拜他,不過還有人疑惑。 18 耶穌前來,對他們說:「天上和地上所有的權柄都賜給我了。 19 所以你們要去,使萬民成為我的門徒;奉父、子、聖靈的名給他們施洗[f][g] 20 凡我所吩咐你們的,都教導他們遵守。看哪,我就天天都與你們同在,直到這世代的終結。」

耶穌復活(A)

28 過了安息日,在禮拜日天亮的時候,抹大拉的馬利亞和另一個馬利亞來看墳墓。 忽然,地震得很厲害;主的使者從天上下來,把石頭輥開,坐在上面。 他的樣子好像閃電,衣服潔白如雪。 看守的人因為害怕他,就渾身戰抖,好像死了一樣。 那使者對婦女們說:“你們不要怕,我知道你們在找被釘十字架的耶穌。 他不在這裡,已經照他所說的復活了。你們來看安放他的地方吧。 快去告訴他的門徒:‘他已經從死人中復活了。他會比你們先到加利利去,你們在那裡必看見他。’現在我已經告訴你們了。” 她們立刻離開墳墓,又害怕,又十分歡喜,跑去告訴耶穌的門徒。 忽然,耶穌向她們迎面而來,說:“你們好。”她們就上前,抱住他的腳拜他。 10 耶穌對她們說:“不要怕,去告訴我的弟兄,叫他們到加利利去,他們在那裡必看見我。”

衛兵受賄造謠

11 她們去的時候,有些衛兵進了城,把一切所發生的事向祭司長報告。 12 祭司長就和長老聚集在一起商量,然後拿許多錢給士兵, 13 說:“你們要這樣說:‘他的門徒晚上來了,趁我們睡著的時候,把他偷走了。’ 14 如果總督知道了這件事,我們會說服他,不會牽連你們。” 15 士兵收了錢,就照著祭司長和長老的指使去作。這種說法直到今日還流傳在猶太人當中。

主交給門徒的使命(B)

16 十一個門徒往加利利去,到了耶穌指定的山上。 17 他們看見耶穌就拜他,但仍然有些人懷疑。 18 耶穌上前來,對他們說:“天上地上一切權柄都賜給我了。 19 所以,你們要去使萬民作我的門徒,奉父子聖靈的名,給他們施洗(“奉父子聖靈的名,給他們施洗”或譯:“給他們施洗,歸入父子聖靈的名”), 20 我吩咐你們的一切,都要教導他們遵守。這樣,我就常常與你們同在,直到這世代的終結。”

Resurrection Morning

28 After the Sabbath,(A) as the first day of the week was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to view the tomb. There was a violent earthquake, because an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and approached the tomb. He rolled back the stone and was sitting on it.(B) His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing was as white as snow.(C) The guards were so shaken by fear of him that they became like dead men.

The angel told the women, ‘Don’t be afraid, because I know you are looking for Jesus who was crucified.(D) He is not here. For he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.(E) Then go quickly and tell his disciples,(F) “He has risen from the dead and indeed he is going ahead of you to Galilee; you will see him there.” Listen, I have told you.’(G)

So, departing quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, they ran to tell his disciples the news. Just then[a] Jesus met them and said, ‘Greetings! ’ They came up, took hold of his feet, and worshipped him.(H) 10 Then Jesus told them, ‘Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to leave for Galilee, and they will see me there.’(I)

The Soldiers Bribed to Lie

11 As they were on their way, some of the guards came into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had happened. 12 After the priests[b] had assembled with the elders and agreed on a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money 13 and told them, ‘Say this, “His disciples came during the night and stole him while we were sleeping.” 14 If this reaches the governor’s ears, we will deal with[c] him and keep you out of trouble.’(J) 15 They took the money and did as they were instructed, and this story has been spread among Jewish people to this day.(K)

The Great Commission

16 The eleven disciples travelled to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had directed them.(L) 17 When they saw him, they worshipped,[d] but some doubted. 18 Jesus came near and said to them, ‘All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.(M) 19 Go, therefore, and make disciples(N) of[e] all nations,(O) baptising(P) them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember,[f] I am with you always,[g] to the end of the age.’(Q)

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)
