1 En laat n die sabbat toe dit begin lig word, teen die eerste dag van die week, kom Maria Magdal,na en die ander Maria om na die graf te gaan kyk.

2 En daar kom 'n groot aardbewing, want 'n engel van die Here het uit die hemel neergedaal en gekom en die steen van die opening weggerol en daarop gaan sit.

3 En sy gedaante was soos weerlig en sy kleding wit soos sneeu.

4 En uit vrees vir hom het die wagte gebewe en soos dooies geword.

5 Maar die engel antwoord en sê vir die vroue: Moenie vrees nie, want ek weet julle soek Jesus wat gekruisig is.

6 Hy is nie hier nie, want Hy het opgestaan soos Hy gesê het. Kom kyk na die plek waar die Here gelê het;

7 en gaan haastig, sê vir sy dissipels: Hy het opgestaan uit die dode en gaan voor julle uit na Galil,a. Daar sal julle Hom sien. Kyk, ek het julle dit gesê.

8 En hulle het haastig weggegaan van die graf met vrees en groot blydskap, en gehardloop om dit aan sy dissipels te vertel.

9 En terwyl hulle op weg was om dit aan sy dissipels te vertel, kom Jesus hulle meteens teë en sê: Wees gegroet! Toe kom hulle nader en gryp sy voete en aanbid Hom.

10 En Jesus sê vir hulle: Moenie vrees nie. Gaan heen en vertel my broeders dat hulle na Galil,a moet gaan; en daar sal hulle My sien.

11 En terwyl hulle op weg was, kom daar sommige van die wag in die stad en vertel die owerpriesters alles wat gebeur het.

12 En nadat hulle saam met die ouderlinge vergader en raad gehou het, het hulle die soldate baie geld gegee

13 en gesê: Julle moet sê: Sy dissipels het in die nag gekom en Hom gesteel terwyl ons aan die slaap was.

14 En as dit by die goewerneur gehoor word, sal ons hom tevrede stel en maak dat julle sonder sorg is.

15 Hulle het toe die geld geneem en gedoen soos hulle geleer was. En hierdie verhaal is versprei onder die Jode, tot vandag toe.

16 En die elf dissipels het na Galil,a gegaan, na die berg waar Jesus hulle bestel het.

17 En toe hulle Hom sien, het hulle Hom aanbid; maar sommige het getwyfel.

18 En Jesus het nader gekom en met hulle gespreek en gesê: Aan My is gegee alle mag in die hemel en op aarde.

19 Gaan dan heen, maak dissipels van al die nasies, en doop hulle in die Naam van die Vader en die Seun en die Heilige Gees; en leer hulle om alles te onderhou wat Ek julle beveel het.

20 En kyk, Ek is met julle al die dae tot aan die voleinding van die wêreld. Amen.

1 Now late on the sabbath day, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. 2 And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled away the stone, and sat upon it. 3 His appearance was as lightning, and his raiment white as snow: 4 and for fear of him the watchers did quake, and became as dead men. 5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye; for I know that ye seek Jesus, who hath been crucified. 6 He is not here; for he is risen, even as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. 7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples, He is risen from the dead; and lo, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you. 8 And they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring his disciples word. 9 And behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and took hold of his feet, and worshipped him. 10 Then saith Jesus unto them, Fear not: go tell my brethren that they depart into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

11 Now while they were going, behold, some of the guard came into the city, and told unto the chief priests all the things that were come to pass. 12 And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave much money unto the soldiers, 13 saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept. 14 And if this come to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him, and rid you of care. 15 So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying was spread abroad among the Jews, and continueth until this day.

16 But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, unto the mountain where Jesus had appointed them. 17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him; but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came to them and spake unto them, saying, All authority hath been given unto me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit: 20 teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.
