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, 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.
