Matthew

The Resurrection

1After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week,Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb.

2Suddenly there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, rolled away the stone, and sat on it.

3His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow.

4The guards trembled in fear of him and became like dead men.

5But the 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, 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.’ See, I have told you.”

8So they hurried away from the tomb in fear and great joy, and ran to tell His disciples.

9SuddenlyJesus met them and said, “Greetings!” They came to Him, grasped His feet, and worshiped Him.

10“Do not be afraid,” said Jesus. “Go and tell My brothers to go to Galilee. There they will see Me.”

The Report of the Guards

11While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests all that had happened.

12And after the chief priests had met with the elders and formed a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money

13and instructed them: “You are to say, ‘His disciples came by night and stole Him away while we were asleep.’

14If this report reaches the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.”

15So the guards took the money and did as they were instructed. And this account has been circulated among the Jews to this very day.

The Great Commission

16Meanwhile, the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain Jesus had designated.

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 disciplesof all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

20and teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

耶穌復活

1安息日將盡，七日的頭一日，天快亮的時候，抹大拉的馬利亞和那個馬利亞來看墳墓。

2忽然，地大震動；因為有主的使者從天上下來，把石頭滾開，坐在上面。

3他的相貌如同閃電，衣服潔白如雪。

4看守的人就因他嚇得渾身亂戰，甚至和死人一樣。

5天使對婦女說：「不要害怕！我知道你們是尋找那釘十字架的耶穌。

6他不在這裏，照他所說的，已經復活了。你們來看安放主的地方。

7快去告訴他的門徒，說他從死裏復活了，並且在你們以先往加利利去，在那裏你們要見他。看哪，我已經告訴你們了。」

8婦女們就急忙離開墳墓，又害怕，又大大地歡喜，跑去要報給他的門徒。

9忽然，耶穌遇見她們，說：「願你們平安！」她們就上前抱住他的腳拜他。

10耶穌對她們說：「不要害怕！你們去告訴我的弟兄，叫他們往加利利去，在那裏必見我。」

看守的兵報告祭司長

11她們去的時候，看守的兵有幾個進城去，將所經歷的事都報給祭司長。

12祭司長和長老聚集商議，就拿許多銀錢給兵丁，說：

13「你們要這樣說：『夜間我們睡覺的時候，他的門徒來，把他偷去了。』

14倘若這話被巡撫聽見，有我們勸他，保你們無事。」

15兵丁受了銀錢，就照所囑咐他們的去行。這話就傳說在猶太人中間，直到今日。

門徒奉差遣

16十一個門徒往加利利去，到了耶穌約定的山上。

17他們見了耶穌就拜他，然而還有人疑惑。

18耶穌進前來，對他們說：「天上地下所有的權柄都賜給我了。

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凡我所吩咐你們的，都教訓他們遵守，我就常與你們同在，直到世界的末了。」
