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.”
耶稣复活
1安息日刚过，周日黎明时分，抹大拉的玛丽亚和另一位玛丽亚一同到坟墓去察看。
2突然，大地剧烈地震动，上帝的天使从天而降，推开堵着墓穴的石头，坐在上面。 3他的容貌如闪电，衣裳洁白如雪。 4看守墓穴的卫兵吓得要死，浑身发抖。
5天使对那两个女人说：“不要怕，我知道你们是在找那位被钉十字架的耶稣。 6祂不在这里，正如祂所说的，祂已经复活了。你们来看，这是安放祂的地方。 7现在你们快回去，把这消息告诉祂的门徒，祂已经从死里复活，先你们一步去了加利利，你们将在那里见到祂。记住，我已经告诉你们了。”
8她们听了又惊又喜，连忙离开坟墓，跑去告诉门徒。 9忽然，耶稣迎面而来，对她们说：“愿你们平安！”她们就上前抱住祂的脚敬拜祂。
10耶稣对她们说：“不要害怕。去告诉我的弟兄，叫他们到加利利去，他们将在那里见到我。”
行贿造谣
11她们还在赶路的时候，有些守墓的卫兵已经进城把整件事告诉祭司长。 12祭司长和长老聚集商议，决定用重金买通守墓的卫兵，又吩咐他们： 13“你们就说，‘半夜里我们熟睡的时候，耶稣的门徒把祂的尸体偷走了。’ 14如果这件事传到总督那里，我们一定会替你们出面，保你们无事。” 15守卫收下钱，便依照吩咐去做。于是，这说法在犹太人中一直流传到今天。
大使命
16十一个门徒赶到加利利，到了耶稣和他们约定的山上， 17看到耶稣就敬拜祂，但有些人仍然心存疑惑。 18耶稣上前对门徒说：
“天上地下所有的权柄都交给我了。 19所以，你们要去使万民做我的门徒，奉父、子、圣灵的名给他们施洗， 20教导他们遵守我吩咐你们的一切。记住，我必常与你们同在，一直到世界的末了。”
