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.”

  2. Matthew 28:19 Or into

28 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.

His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:

And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.

And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

He is not here: for he is risen, 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, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.

And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.

And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.

10 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

11 Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done.

12 And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,

13 Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.

14 And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you.

15 So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.

16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.

18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Jesus uppstår från de döda

28 Tidigt på söndagsmorgonen, alltså dagen efter sabbatsdagen, gick Maria från Magdala och den andra Maria i gryningen ut till graven.

Plötsligt blev det en våldsam jordbävning. En Herrens ängel kom nämligen ner från himlen och rullade undan stenen och satte sig på den.

Hans ansikte lyste som blixten, och hans kläder var vita som snö.

Vakterna blev skräckslagna när de såg honom, och de föll till marken och låg där som döda.

Sedan talade ängeln till kvinnorna och sa: Var inte rädda! Jag vet att ni söker efter Jesus, han som blev korsfäst.

Men han är inte här! Han har återvänt till livet, alldeles som han sa att han skulle göra. Kom och se var hans kropp låg.

Och skynda er nu att berätta för hans lärjungar att han har uppstått från de döda, och att han går före till Galileen för att möta dem där. Det är mitt budskap till dem.

Jesus visar sig för några kvinnor

Kvinnorna skyndade sig iväg från graven. De var fruktansvärt uppskrämda men samtidigt glada. Och de sprang för att träffa lärjungarna så de kunde berätta vad ängeln hade sagt.

Men de hade inte hunnit långt förrän Jesus plötsligt stod framför dem!God morgon, sa han. Och de föll till marken inför honom och fattade om hans fötter och tillbad honom.

10 Sedan sa Jesus till dem: Var inte rädda! Gå och säg till mina bröder att de ska komma till Galileen. Där ska de få se mig.

Vakterna vid graven mutas

11 Så fort kvinnorna gett sig iväg från graven, sprang några av vakterna som stått där till översteprästerna och berättade vad som hade hänt.

12-13 De sammankallade då ett möte med alla de judiska ledarna, och man beslutade att muta vakterna med en stor summa pengar. Säg att ni sov allesammans, när Jesu lärjungar kom och stal kroppen mitt i natten.

14 Och om landshövdingen får höra om detta så vet ni att vi står på er sida, och allt ska ordna sig till det bästa, lovade de.

15 Vakterna tog emot pengarna och spred sedan ut det som de blivit tillsagda att säga. Deras berättelse blev snart känd vida omkring bland judarna, som tror på den än i dag.

Jesus befaller lärjungarna att predika de goda nyheterna i hela världen

16 Sedan gick de elva lärjungarna till det berg i Galileen där Jesus sagt att de skulle träffa honom.

17 Där fann de honom och de tillbad honom, men några av dem var inte säkra på att det verkligen var Jesus.

18 Han sa då till dem: ''Av Gud har jag fått all makt i himlen och på jorden.

19 Gå därför ut i hela världen och kalla alla människor till att bli mina lärjungar, och döp dem i Faderns och Sonens och den helige Andes namn.

20 Och lär dem att leva på det sätt jag sagt er, och kom ihåg att jag alltid är med er, ända till tidens slut.

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)
