耶穌復活
1過了安息日，抹大拉的瑪麗亞、雅各的母親瑪麗亞和撒羅米買了香料，要去抹耶穌的遺體。 2週日清早，太陽剛剛升起，她們就去墳墓那裡。 3她們彼此議論說：「誰能替我們滾開墓口那塊大石頭呢？」 4她們抬頭一看，見那塊大石頭已經滾到一旁。 5她們進了墳墓，看見一位身穿潔白長袍的青年坐在右邊，嚇了一跳。 6那青年對她們說：「不要害怕，你們要找那位被釘十字架的拿撒勒人耶穌嗎？祂已經復活了，不在這裡。你們看！這是安放祂的地方。 7你們回去，告訴祂的門徒，特別是彼得，『祂要先你們一步去加利利，你們將在那裡見到祂，正如祂以前所說的一樣。』」
8她們從墳墓出來，跑走了，戰戰兢兢，不知所措，什麼也沒有對別人說，因為她們很害怕。
耶穌顯現
9耶穌在週日清晨復活後，首先向抹大拉的瑪麗亞顯現，耶穌曾在她身上趕出七個鬼。 10瑪麗亞去告訴那些向來跟耶穌在一起的人，看見他們仍然在哭泣哀悼， 11就告訴他們耶穌已經復活了，她還看見了耶穌，但他們不相信。
12此後，有兩個門徒在去鄉下的路上，看到耶穌變了形像向他們顯現。 13他們回去告訴其他門徒，但門徒還是不相信。
最後的使命
14後來，當十一位使徒在一起吃飯的時候，耶穌向他們顯現，責備他們硬著心不信，因為他們不肯相信那些人在祂復活後見過祂。 15耶穌又對他們說：「你們要到世界各地去，向天下人傳揚福音。 16相信並接受洗禮的人必定得救，不信的人必被定罪。 17必有神蹟隨著信我的人，他們能奉我的名趕鬼，說新的方言， 18又能用手拿蛇，萬一喝了什麼毒物，也不會受害。他們把手按在病人身上，病人就能痊癒。」 19主耶穌說完這些話，就被接到天上，坐在上帝的右邊。 20門徒出去到處傳揚福音，主和他們一同做工，以神蹟相伴來證實他們所傳的道。16·20 有古卷無9-20節。
Jesus Rises From the Dead
1The Sabbath day ended. Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices. They were going to use them for Jesus’ body. 2Very early on the first day of the week, they were on their way to the tomb. It was just after sunrise. 3They asked each other, “Who will roll the stone away from the entrance to the tomb?”
4Then they looked up and saw that the stone had been rolled away. The stone was very large. 5They entered the tomb. As they did, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe. He was sitting on the right side. They were alarmed.
6“Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. But he has risen! He is not here! See the place where they had put him. 7Go! Tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him. It will be just as he told you.’ ”
8The women were shaking and confused. They went out and ran away from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.
9Jesus rose from the dead early on the first day of the week. He appeared first to Mary Magdalene. He had driven seven demons out of her. 10She went and told those who had been with him. She found them crying. They were very sad. 11They heard that Jesus was alive and that she had seen him. But they did not believe it.
12After that, Jesus appeared in a different form to two of them. This happened while they were walking out in the country. 13The two returned and told the others about it. But the others did not believe them either.
14Later Jesus appeared to the 11 disciples as they were eating. He spoke firmly to them because they had no faith. They would not believe those who had seen him after he rose from the dead.
15He said to them, “Go into all the world. Preach the good news to everyone. 16Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who does not believe will be punished. 17Here are the miraculous signs that those who believe will do. In my name they will drive out demons. They will speak in languages they had not known before. 18They will pick up snakes with their hands. And when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all. They will place their hands on sick people. And the people will get well.”
19When the Lord Jesus finished speaking to them, he was taken up into heaven. He sat down at the right hand of God. 20Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere. The Lord worked with them. And he backed up his word by the signs that went with it.
