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)

La resurrección(A)

28 Cuando pasó el día de reposo, al amanecer del primer día de la semana, María Magdalena y la otra María fueron a visitar el sepulcro. De pronto, hubo un gran terremoto, porque un ángel del Señor descendió del cielo, removió la piedra, y se sentó sobre ella. Su aspecto era el de un relámpago, y sus vestidos eran blancos como la nieve. Al verlo, los guardias temblaron de miedo y se quedaron como muertos. Pero el ángel les dijo a las mujeres: «No teman. Yo sé que buscan a Jesús, el que fue crucificado. No está aquí, pues ha resucitado, como él dijo. Vengan y vean el lugar donde fue puesto el Señor. Luego, vayan pronto y digan a sus discípulos que él ha resucitado de los muertos. De hecho, va delante de ustedes a Galilea; allí lo verán. Ya se lo he dicho.» Entonces ellas salieron del sepulcro con temor y mucha alegría, y fueron corriendo a dar la noticia a los discípulos. En eso, Jesús les salió al encuentro y les dijo: «¡Salve!» Y ellas se acercaron y le abrazaron los pies, y lo adoraron. 10 Entonces Jesús les dijo: «No teman. Vayan y den la noticia a mis hermanos, para que vayan a Galilea. Allí me verán.»

El informe de la guardia

11 Mientras ellas iban, algunos de la guardia fueron a la ciudad y les contaron a los principales sacerdotes todo lo que había sucedido. 12 Éstos se reunieron con los ancianos y, después de ponerse de acuerdo, dieron mucho dinero a los soldados 13 y les dijeron: «Ustedes digan que sus discípulos fueron de noche y se robaron el cuerpo, mientras ustedes estaban dormidos. 14 Si el gobernador se entera de esto, nosotros lo convenceremos y a ustedes los pondremos a salvo.» 15 Ellos tomaron el dinero y siguieron las instrucciones recibidas. Y ésta es la versión que se ha divulgado entre los judíos hasta el día de hoy.

La gran comisión(B)

16 Pero los once discípulos se fueron a Galilea,(C) al monte que Jesús les había señalado, 17 y cuando lo vieron, lo adoraron. Pero algunos dudaban. 18 Jesús se acercó y les dijo: «Toda autoridad me ha sido dada en el cielo y en la tierra. 19 Por tanto, vayan y hagan discípulos en todas las naciones,(D) y bautícenlos en el nombre del Padre, y del Hijo, y del Espíritu Santo. 20 Enséñenles a cumplir todas las cosas que les he mandado. Y yo estaré con ustedes todos los días, hasta el fin del mundo.» Amén.

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.”
