La resurrección
28:1-8 – Mr 16:1-8; Lc 24:1-10
1Después del sábado, al amanecer del primer día de la semana, María Magdalena y la otra María fueron a ver el sepulcro.
2Sucedió que hubo un terremoto violento porque un ángel del Señor bajó del cielo, se acercó al sepulcro, quitó la piedra y se sentó sobre ella. 3Su aspecto era como el de un relámpago y su ropa era blanca como la nieve. 4Los guardias tuvieron tanto miedo de él que se pusieron a temblar y quedaron como muertos.
5El ángel dijo a las mujeres:
—No tengan miedo; sé que ustedes buscan a Jesús, el que fue crucificado. 6No está aquí, pues ha resucitado, tal como dijo. Vengan a ver el lugar donde estaba. 7Luego vayan pronto a decirles a sus discípulos: “Él se ha levantado de entre los muertos y va delante de ustedes a Galilea. Allí lo verán”. Eso vine a decirles.
8Así que las asustadas mujeres se alejaron a toda prisa del sepulcro, pero muy alegres corrieron a dar la noticia a los discípulos. 9En eso Jesús les salió al encuentro y las saludó. Ellas se acercaron, abrazaron sus pies y lo adoraron.
10—No tengan miedo —dijo Jesús—. Vayan a decirles a mis hermanos que se dirijan a Galilea y allí me verán.
El informe de los guardias
11Mientras las mujeres iban de camino, algunos de los guardias entraron en la ciudad e informaron a los jefes de los sacerdotes de todo lo que había sucedido. 12Después de reunirse estos jefes con los líderes religiosos y de trazar un plan, dieron a los soldados una fuerte suma de dinero 13y les encargaron: «Digan que los discípulos de Jesús vinieron por la noche y que, mientras ustedes dormían, se robaron el cuerpo. 14Y si el gobernador llega a enterarse de esto, nosotros responderemos por ustedes y les evitaremos cualquier problema».
15Así que los soldados tomaron el dinero e hicieron como se les había instruido. Esta es la versión de los sucesos que hasta el día de hoy ha circulado entre los judíos.
La gran comisión
16Los once discípulos fueron a Galilea, a la montaña que Jesús les había indicado. 17Cuando lo vieron, lo adoraron; pero algunos dudaban. 18Jesús se acercó entonces a ellos y dijo:
—Se me ha dado toda autoridad en el cielo y en la tierra. 19Por tanto, vayan y hagan discípulos de todas las naciones, bautizándolos en el nombre del Padre y del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo, 20enseñándoles a obedecer todo lo que les he mandado a ustedes. Y les aseguro que estaré con ustedes siempre, hasta el fin del mundo.28:20 el fin del mundo. Lit. la consumación del siglo.
Jesus Rises From the Dead
1The Sabbath day was now over. It was dawn on the first day of the week. Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.
2There was a powerful earthquake. An angel of the Lord came down from heaven. The angel went to the tomb. He rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3His body shone like lightning. His clothes were as white as snow. 4The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.
5The angel said to the women, “Don’t be afraid. I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6He is not here! He has risen, just as he said he would! Come and see the place where he was lying. 7Go quickly! Tell his disciples, ‘He has risen from the dead. He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”
8So the women hurried away from the tomb. They were afraid, but they were filled with joy. They ran to tell the disciples. 9Suddenly Jesus met them. “Greetings!” he said. They came to him, took hold of his feet and worshiped him. 10Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee. There they will see me.”
The Guards Report to the Chief Priests
11While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city. They reported to the chief priests all that had happened. 12When the chief priests met with the elders, they came up with a plan. They gave the soldiers a large amount of money. 13They told the soldiers, “We want you to say, ‘His disciples came during the night. They stole his body while we were sleeping.’ 14If the governor hears this report, we will pay him off. That will keep you out of trouble.” 15So the soldiers took the money and did as they were told. This story has spread all around among the Jews to this day.
Jesus’ Final Orders to His Disciples
16Then the 11 disciples went to Galilee. They went to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17When they saw him, they worshiped him. But some still had their doubts. 18Then Jesus came to them. He said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19So you must go and make disciples of all nations. Baptize them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. 20Teach them to obey everything I have commanded you. And you can be sure that I am always with you, to the very end.”
