1 Passado o sábado, Maria Madalena, Maria, mãe de Tiago, e Salomé compraram óleos aromáticos para ungir o corpo de Jesus. 2 E, bem cedo, no primeiro dia da semana, ao nascer do sol, foram ao túmulo. 3 Diziam umas às outras:

— Quem nos removerá a pedra da entrada do túmulo?

4 E, olhando, viram que a pedra já estava removida. É que a pedra era muito grande. 5 Entrando no túmulo, viram um jovem sentado ao lado direito, vestido de branco, e ficaram atemorizadas. 6 Ele, porém, lhes disse:

— Não tenham medo! Vocês procuram Jesus, o Nazareno, que foi crucificado; ele ressuscitou, não está aqui; vejam o lugar onde o tinham colocado. 7 Mas vão e digam aos discípulos dele e a Pedro que ele vai adiante de vocês para a Galileia; lá vocês o verão, como ele disse.

8 E, saindo elas, fugiram do sepulcro, porque estavam tomadas de temor e assombro. E não contaram nada a ninguém, porque estavam com medo.

9 [Havendo Jesus ressuscitado de manhã cedo no primeiro dia da semana, apareceu primeiro a Maria Madalena, da qual tinha expulsado sete demônios. 10 E, partindo ela, foi anunciá-lo àqueles que, tendo sido companheiros de Jesus, estavam tristes e choravam.

11 Estes, ouvindo que ele vivia e que tinha sido visto por ela, não acreditaram.

12 Depois disso, Jesus manifestou-se em outra forma a dois deles que estavam a caminho do campo. 13 E, indo, eles o anunciaram aos demais, mas também a estes dois eles não deram crédito.

14 Finalmente, Jesus apareceu aos onze, quando estavam à mesa, e censurou-lhes a incredulidade e a dureza de coração, porque não deram crédito aos que o tinham visto já ressuscitado. 15 E disse-lhes:

— Vão por todo o mundo e preguem o evangelho a toda criatura. 16 Quem crer e for batizado será salvo; quem, porém, não crer será condenado. 17 Estes sinais acompanharão aqueles que creem: em meu nome, expulsarão demônios; falarão novas línguas; 18 pegarão em serpentes; e, se beberem alguma coisa mortífera, não lhes fará mal; se impuserem as mãos sobre enfermos, eles ficarão curados.

19 De fato, o Senhor Jesus, depois de lhes ter falado, foi recebido no céu e sentou-se à direita de Deus. 20 E eles foram e pregaram por toda parte, cooperando com eles o Senhor e confirmando a palavra por meio de sinais, que se seguiam.]

1 And when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, so that having come, they might anoint him.2 And very much early morning on the first day of the week, they come near to the sepulcher when the sun was risen.3 And they said to themselves, Who will roll away the stone for us from the door of the sepulcher?4 And having looked, they see that the stone has been rolled back, for it was very large.5 And having entered into the sepulcher, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a white robe, and they were alarmed.6 And he says to them, Be not alarmed. Ye seek Jesus, the man of Nazareth who was crucified. He was raised. He is not here. Behold, the place where they laid him.7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter, that he goes before you into Galilee. Ye will see him there, just as he said to you.8 And having come out, they fled from the sepulcher, and trembling and astonishment seized them. And they said nothing to any man, for they were afraid.9 Now having risen early morning on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons.10 That woman, having gone, informed those who became with him, as they mourned and wept.11 And those men, when they heard that he is alive, and was seen by her, did not believe.12 And after these things he appeared in a different form to two of them as they walked going into the countryside.13 And those men having departed, they reported to the others. Neither did they believe those men.14 Afterward he became visible to them, to the eleven, who were relaxing. And he upbraided their unbelief and hard heart, because they did not believe those who saw him after he was raised.15 And he said to them, Having gone into all the world, preach ye the good-news to the whole creation.16 He who believes and is immersed will be saved, but he who does not believe will be damned.17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will cast out demons. They will speak in new tongues.18 They will take up serpents, and if they drink anything deadly, it will, no, not harm them. They will lay hands on the feeble, and they will fare well.19 Therefore indeed, the Lord, after he spoke to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.20 And those men, having gone forth, they preached everywhere, the Lord working jointly, and confirming the word by the signs that followed. Truly.
