Matthew 28
GOD’S WORD Translation
Jesus Comes Back to Life(A)
28 After the day of rest—a holy day, as the sun rose Sunday morning, Mary from Magdala and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.
2 Suddenly, there was a powerful earthquake. An angel of the Lord had come down from heaven, rolled the stone away, and was sitting on it. 3 He was as bright as lightning, and his clothes were as white as snow. 4 The guards were so deathly afraid of him that they shook.
5 The angel said to the women, “Don’t be afraid! I know you’re looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6 He’s not here. He has been brought back to life as he said. Come, see the place where he was lying. 7 Then go quickly, and tell his disciples that he has been brought back to life. He’s going ahead of them into Galilee. There they will see him. Take note that I have told you.”
8 They hurried away from the tomb with fear and great joy and ran to tell his disciples.
9 Suddenly, Jesus met them and greeted them. They went up to him, bowed down to worship him, and took hold of his feet.
10 Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t be afraid! Go, tell my followers to go to Galilee. There they will see me.”
The Guards Report to the Chief Priests
11 While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city. They told the chief priests everything that had happened.
12 The chief priests gathered together with the leaders and agreed on a plan. They gave the soldiers a large amount of money 13 and told them to say that Jesus’ disciples had come at night and had stolen his body while they were sleeping. 14 ⌞They added,⌟ “If the governor hears about it, we’ll take care of it, and you’ll have nothing to worry about.”
15 The soldiers took the money and did as they were told. Their story has been spread among the Jewish people to this day.
Jesus Gives Instructions to the Disciples
16 The eleven disciples went to the mountain in Galilee where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they bowed down in worship, though some had doubts.
18 When Jesus came near, he spoke to them. He said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 So wherever you go, make disciples of all nations: Baptize them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. 20 Teach them to do everything I have commanded you.
“And remember that I am always with you until the end of time.”
Matteus 28
nuBibeln (Swedish Contemporary Bible)
Jesus uppstår från de döda
(Mark 16:1-8; Luk 24:1-12; Joh 20:1-18)
28 I morgongryningen på första veckodagen, dagen efter sabbaten, gick Maria från Magdala och den andra Maria ut för att se på graven.
2 Då blev det plötsligt en våldsam jordbävning, för en Herrens ängel steg ner från himlen och rullade undan stenen och satte sig på den. 3 Hans ansikte lyste som blixten, och hans kläder var vita som snö. 4 Vakterna skakade skräckslagna för honom och låg där sedan som döda.
5 Men ängeln talade till kvinnorna och sa: ”Var inte rädda! Jag vet att ni söker efter Jesus, som blev korsfäst. 6 Han är inte här. Han har uppstått, precis som han sa. Kom och se var han låg. 7 Skynda er sedan och säg till hans lärjungar att han har uppstått från de döda, och att han ska gå före dem till Galileen. Där ska de få se honom. Jag har sagt detta till er.”
Jesus visar sig för några kvinnor
8 Kvinnorna lämnade genast graven, uppskrämda men samtidigt glada, och sprang för att berätta det för Jesus lärjungar. 9 Men då kom plötsligt Jesus emot dem och hälsade på dem. Och de gick fram till honom och grep om hans fötter och tillbad honom.
10 Men Jesus sa till dem: ”Var inte rädda! Gå och säg till mina bröder att de ska ge sig av till Galileen. Där ska de få se mig.”
Vakterna vid graven mutas
11 Medan kvinnorna var på väg, kom några av de vakter som stått där till staden, till översteprästerna och berättade vad som hade hänt. 12 Översteprästerna diskuterade då saken med folkets ledare, och gav sedan vakterna en stor summa pengar 13 och sa till dem: ”Säg att Jesus lärjungar kom mitt i natten och stal kroppen medan ni sov. 14 Om landshövdingen får höra om det, så ska vi ta hand om honom. Ni behöver inte oroa er.”
15 Soldaterna tog därför pengarna och gjorde som man sagt till dem. Snart spreds detta rykte bland judarna, och sprids än idag.
Jesus befaller sina lärjungar att sprida budskapet om honom i hela världen
16 De elva lärjungarna gick sedan till det berg i Galileen dit Jesus hade befallt dem att gå. 17 Och när de såg honom föll de ner inför honom, men några tvivlade.
18 Då gick Jesus fram till dem och sa: ”Jag har fått all makt i himlen och på jorden. 19 Gå därför ut till alla folk och gör dem till mina lärjungar. Döp dem i Faderns och Sonens och den heliga Andens namn, 20 och lär dem att följa allt som jag har befallt er. Och jag ska alltid vara med er, ända till tidsålderns slut.”
Matthew 28
New King James Version
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. 2 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. 3 (E)His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. 4 And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like (F)dead men.
5 But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. 6 He is not here; for He is risen, (G)as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. 7 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.”
8 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
9 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.
