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 When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus’ body. 2 Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb 3 and they asked each other, "Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?"

4 But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. 5 As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.

6 "Don’t be alarmed," he said. "You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. 7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.’ "

8 Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.*

[The earliest manuscripts and some other ancient witnesses do not have verses 9–20.]

9 When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had driven seven demons.10 She went and told those who had been with him and who were mourning and weeping.11 When they heard that Jesus was alive and that she had seen him, they did not believe it.

12 Afterward Jesus appeared in a different form to two of them while they were walking in the country.13 These returned and reported it to the rest; but they did not believe them either.

14 Later Jesus appeared to the Eleven as they were eating; he rebuked them for their lack of faith and their stubborn refusal to believe those who had seen him after he had risen.

15 He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues;18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well."

19 After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God.20 Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it.
