1 E, no fim do sábado, quando já despontava o primeiro dia da semana, Maria Madalena e a outra Maria foram ver o sepulcro.

2 E eis que houvera um grande terremoto, porque um anjo do Senhor, descendo do céu, chegou, removendo a pedra da porta, e sentou-se sobre ela.

3 E o seu aspecto era como um relâmpago, e as suas vestes brancas como neve.

4 E os guardas, com medo dele, ficaram muito assombrados, e como mortos.

5 Mas o anjo, respondendo, disse às mulheres: Não tenhais medo; pois eu sei que buscais a Jesus, que foi crucificado.

6 Ele não está aqui, porque já ressuscitou, como havia dito. Vinde, vede o lugar onde o Senhor jazia.

7 Ide pois, imediatamente, e dizei aos seus discípulos que já ressuscitou dentre os mortos. E eis que ele vai adiante de vós para a Galiléia; ali o vereis. Eis que eu vo-lo tenho dito.

8 E, saindo elas pressurosamente do sepulcro, com temor e grande alegria, correram a anunciá-lo aos seus discípulos.

9 E, indo elas a dar as novas aos seus discípulos, eis que Jesus lhes sai ao encontro, dizendo: Eu vos saúdo. E elas, chegando, abraçaram os seus pés, e o adoraram.

10 Então Jesus disse-lhes: Não temais; ide dizer a meus irmãos que vão à Galiléia, e lá me verão.

11 E, quando iam, eis que alguns da guarda, chegando à cidade, anunciaram aos príncipes dos sacerdotes todas as coisas que haviam acontecido.

12 E, congregados eles com os anciãos, e tomando conselho entre si, deram muito dinheiro aos soldados,

13 Dizendo: Dizei: Vieram de noite os seus discípulos e, dormindo nós, o furtaram.

14 E, se isto chegar a ser ouvido pelo presidente, nós o persuadiremos, e vos poremos em segurança.

15 E eles, recebendo o dinheiro, fizeram como estavam instruídos. E foi divulgado este dito entre os judeus, até ao dia de hoje.

16 E os onze discípulos partiram para a Galiléia, para o monte que Jesus lhes tinha designado.

17 E, quando o viram, o adoraram; mas alguns duvidaram.

18 E, chegando-se Jesus, falou-lhes, dizendo: É-me dado todo o poder no céu e na terra.

19 Portanto ide, fazei discípulos de todas as nações, batizando-os em nome do Pai, e do Filho, e do Espírito Santo;

20 Ensinando-os a guardar todas as coisas que eu vos tenho mandado; e eis que eu estou convosco todos os dias, até a consumação dos séculos. Amém.

1 Now late on the Sabbath, when the dawn of the first day of the week was near, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the place where his body was.

2 And there was a great earth-shock; for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, rolling back the stone, took his seat on it.

3 His form was shining like the light, and his clothing was white as snow:

4 And for fear of him the watchmen were shaking, and became as dead men.

5 And the angel said to the women, Have no fear: for I see that you are searching for Jesus, who was put to death on the cross.

6 He is not here, for he has come to life again, even as he said. Come, see the Lord's resting-place.

7 And go quickly and give his disciples the news that he has come back from the dead, and is going before you into Galilee; there you will see him, as I have said to you.

8 And they went away quickly, with fear and great joy, to give his disciples the news.

9 And on the way, Jesus came to them, saying, Be glad. And they came and put their hands on his feet, and gave him worship.

10 Then said Jesus to them, Have no fear: go and give word to my brothers to go into Galilee, and there they will see me.

11 Now, while they were going, some of the watchmen came into the town and gave news to the chief priests of all the things which had taken place.

12 And when they had come together with those in authority, and had made their decision, they gave much money to the watchmen, saying,

13 Say, His disciples came by night and took him away secretly while we were sleeping.

14 And if this comes to the ruler's ears, we will see that he does not make you responsible.

15 So they took the money, and did as they had been ordered: and this account has been current among the Jews till the present time.

16 But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had given them orders to go.

17 And when they saw him they gave him worship: but some were in doubt.

18 And Jesus came to them and said, All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.

19 Go then, and make disciples of all the nations, giving them baptism in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit:

20 Teaching them to keep all the rules which I have given you: and see, I am ever with you, even to the end of the world.
