Jesus uppstår ur graven

28 Efter sabbaten, i gryningen den första veckodagen,[a] gick Maria från Magdala och den andra Maria för att besöka graven. Och se, då blev det en stor jordbävning, ty en Herrens ängel steg ner från himlen. Han gick fram och rullade bort stenen och satte sig på den. Hans utseende var som blixten, och hans kläder var vita som snö. Vakterna skakade av skräck för honom och blev som döda. Ängeln sade till kvinnorna: "Var inte förskräckta! Jag vet att ni söker Jesus, den korsfäste. Han är inte här. Han har uppstått, så som han har sagt. Kom och se platsen där han låg! Och gå genast och säg till hans lärjungar att han har uppstått från de döda. Och se, han går före er till Galileen. Där kommer ni att få se honom. Jag har nu sagt det till er."

De skyndade sig då bort från graven, under fruktan och i stor glädje, och sprang för att tala om det för hans lärjungar. Och se, Jesus kom emot dem och hälsade dem. Och de gick fram och fattade om hans fötter och tillbad honom. 10 Då sade Jesus till dem: "Var inte förskräckta! Gå och säg till mina bröder att de skall gå till Galileen. Där kommer de att få se mig."

Vaktstyrkans rapport

11 Medan de var på väg, kom några ur vaktstyrkan in i staden och underrättade översteprästerna om allt som hade hänt. 12 Dessa samlades med de äldste och beslöt att ge soldaterna en stor summa pengar 13 och sade: "Säg att hans lärjungar kom på natten och rövade bort honom medan vi sov. 14 Och om landshövdingen får höra det, skall vi tala med honom och se till att ni kan känna er helt lugna." 15 De tog emot pengarna och gjorde som de hade blivit tillsagda, och än i dag är detta rykte spritt bland judarna.

Jesu missionsbefallning

16 De elva lärjungarna begav sig till det berg i Galileen dit Jesus hade befallt dem att gå. 17 Och när de såg honom, tillbad de honom, men andra tvivlade. 18 Då trädde Jesus fram och talade till dem och sade: "Jag har fått all makt i himlen och på jorden. 19 Gå därför ut och gör alla folk till lärjungar! Döp dem i Faderns och Sonens och den helige Andes namn 20 och lär dem att hålla[b] allt vad jag har befallt er. Och se, jag är med er alla dagar intill tidens slut."

The Resurrection

28 (A)Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and (B)the other Mary went to see the tomb. And behold, there was a great earthquake, for (C)an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. (D)His appearance was like lightning, and (E)his clothing white as snow. And for fear of him the guards trembled and (F)became like dead men. But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here, for he has risen, (G)as he said. Come, see the place where he[a] lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, (H)he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. See, I have told you.” So they departed quickly from the tomb (I)with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. And behold, Jesus (J)met them and said, “Greetings!” And they came up and (K)took hold of his feet and (L)worshiped him. 10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid; (M)go and tell (N)my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me.”

The Report of the Guard

11 While they were going, behold, some of (O)the guard went into the city and told the chief priests all that had taken place. 12 And when they had assembled with the elders and taken counsel, they gave a sufficient sum of money to the soldiers 13 and said, “Tell people, (P)‘His disciples came by night and stole him away while we were asleep.’ 14 And if this comes to (Q)the governor's ears, we will (R)satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.” 15 So they took the money and did as they were directed. And this story has been spread among the Jews (S)to this day.

The Great Commission

16 Now the eleven disciples (T)went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. 17 And when they saw him they (U)worshiped him, but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and said to them, (V)“All authority (W)in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 (X)Go therefore and (Y)make disciples of (Z)all nations, (AA)baptizing them (AB)in[b] (AC)the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them (AD)to observe all that (AE)I have commanded you. And behold, (AF)I am with you always, to (AG)the end of the age.”

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)
