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

28 安息日剛過,週日黎明時分,抹大拉的瑪麗亞和另一位瑪麗亞一同到墳墓去察看。

突然,大地劇烈地震動,上帝的天使從天而降,推開堵著墓穴的石頭,坐在上面。 他的容貌如閃電,衣裳潔白如雪。 看守墓穴的衛兵嚇得要死,渾身發抖。

天使對那兩個女人說:「不要怕,我知道你們是在找那位被釘十字架的耶穌。 祂不在這裡,正如祂所說的,祂已經復活了。你們來看,這是安放祂的地方。 現在你們快回去,把這消息告訴祂的門徒,祂已經從死裡復活,先你們一步去了加利利,你們將在那裡見到祂。記住,我已經告訴你們了。」

她們聽了又驚又喜,連忙離開墳墓,跑去告訴門徒。 忽然,耶穌迎面而來,對她們說:「願你們平安!」她們就上前抱住祂的腳敬拜祂。

10 耶穌對她們說:「不要害怕。去告訴我的弟兄,叫他們到加利利去,他們將在那裡見到我。」

行賄造謠

11 她們還在趕路的時候,有些守墓的衛兵已經進城把整件事告訴祭司長。 12 祭司長和長老聚集商議,決定用重金買通守墓的衛兵,又吩咐他們: 13 「你們就說,『半夜裡我們熟睡的時候,耶穌的門徒把祂的屍體偷走了。』 14 如果這件事傳到總督那裡,我們一定會替你們出面,保你們無事。」 15 守衛收下錢,便依照吩咐去做。於是,這說法在猶太人中一直流傳到今天。

大使命

16 十一個門徒趕到加利利,到了耶穌和他們約定的山上, 17 看到耶穌就敬拜祂,但有些人仍然心存疑惑。 18 耶穌上前對門徒說:

「天上地下所有的權柄都交給我了。 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, 20 教導他們遵守我吩咐你們的一切。記住,我必常與你們同在,一直到世界的末了。」

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.
