Васкрсење
1А после суботе, у свануће првога дана недеље, дођоше Марија Магдалена и друга Марија да погледају гроб. 2У тај час наста велики потрес, јер је анђео Господњи сишао са неба, приступио, откотрљао гробни камен и сео на њега. 3Лик му је био као муња, а одећа бела као снег. 4Од страха пред њим, стражари су уздрхтали и постали као мртви.
5Анђео рече женама: „Не бојте се! Знам да тражите разапетог Исуса. 6Он није овде. Васкрсао је онако како је рекао. Дођите и видите место где је лежао. 7Стога идите и реците његовим ученицима да је васкрсао из мртвих. Он ево иде пред вама у Галилеју, онде ћете га видети. Ето, рекао сам вам.“
8Оне у журби одоше са гроба, те са страхом, али и са великом радошћу, отрчаше да јаве његовим ученицима. 9Уто их сретне Исус, те им рече: „Здраво!“ Оне му приђу, обујме његове ноге и падну ничице пред њим. 10Исус им тада рече: „Не бојте се! Идите и јавите мојој браћи да иду у Галилеју; тамо ће ме видети.“
11Док су оне одлазиле, неки од стражара оду у град и јаве водећим свештеницима све што се догодило. 12Они су се онда састали са старешинама и одлучили да војницима дају много новца. 13Рекли су им: „Реците да су његови ученици дошли ноћу и украли тело док смо ми спавали. 14А ако заповедник дочује за ово, ми ћемо га уверити и решити вас бриге.“ 15Стражари узму новац и учине како су их упутили. Ова прича се раширила међу Јеврејима све до данашњега дана.
Велико послање
16А једанаесторица ученика одоше у Галилеју, на гору на коју им Исус наредио да иду. 17Када су га угледали, пали су ничице, а неки су посумњали. 18Исус им приђе и рече им: „Дата ми је сва власт на небу и на земљи. 19Зато идите и начините све народе мојим ученицима, крстећи их у име Оца, Сина и Светога Духа. 20Учите их да држе све што сам вам заповедио. Ево, ја сам с вама у све дане до свршетка света.“
Jesus has risen
1After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.
2There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. 4The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.
5The angel said to the women, ‘Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. 7Then go quickly and tell his disciples: “He has risen from the dead and 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, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. 9Suddenly Jesus met them. ‘Greetings,’ he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshipped him. 10Then Jesus said to them, ‘Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.’
The guards’ report
11While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had happened. 12When the chief priests had met with the elders and devised a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money, 13telling them, ‘You are to say, “His disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep.” 14If this report gets to the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.’ 15So 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
16Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17When they saw him, they worshipped him; but some doubted. 18Then Jesus came to them and said, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.’
