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 worshiped 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 worshiped 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, baptizing 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.”
耶穌復活
1安息日剛過，週日黎明時分，抹大拉的瑪麗亞和另一位瑪麗亞一同到墳墓去察看。
2突然，大地劇烈地震動，主的天使從天而降，把墓口的石頭滾開，坐在上面。 3他的容貌如閃電，衣裳潔白如雪。 4看守墓穴的衛兵嚇得渾身發抖，像死人一樣。
5天使對那兩個女人說：「不要怕，我知道你們是在找那位被釘十字架的耶穌。 6祂不在這裡，正如祂所說的，祂已經復活了。你們來看，這是安放祂的地方。 7現在你們快去告訴祂的門徒，祂已經從死裡復活，要先你們一步去加利利，你們將在那裡見到祂。記住，我已經告訴你們了。」
8她們聽了又害怕又欣喜，連忙離開墳墓，跑去告訴門徒。 9忽然，耶穌迎面而來，對她們說：「願你們平安！」她們就上前抱住祂的腳敬拜祂。
10耶穌對她們說：「不要害怕。你們去告訴我的弟兄，叫他們到加利利去，他們將在那裡見到我。」
行賄造謠
11她們還在趕路的時候，有些守墓的衛兵已經進城把整件事告訴祭司長。 12祭司長和長老聚集商議，決定用重金買通守墓的衛兵， 13又吩咐他們：「你們就說，『夜裡我們熟睡的時候，耶穌的門徒來把祂的屍體偷走了。』 14如果這件事傳到總督那裡，我們會跟他解釋，保你們無事。」 15守衛收下錢，便依照吩咐去做。於是，這說法在猶太人中一直流傳到今天。
大使命
16十一個門徒趕到加利利，到了耶穌和他們約定的山上， 17看到耶穌就敬拜祂，但有些人仍然心存疑惑。 18耶穌上前對門徒說：
「天上地下所有的權柄都交給我了。 19所以，你們要去使萬民作我的門徒，奉父、子、聖靈的名給他們施洗， 20教導他們遵守我吩咐你們的一切。記住，我必常與你們同在，一直到世界的末了。」
