1 Quando terminou o sábado, Maria Madalena, Salomé e Maria, mãe de Tiago, foram comprar perfumes para pôr no corpo de Jesus. 2 No domingo de manhã, ao nascer do sol, elas foram ao túmulo. 3 Pelo caminho, interrogavam-se como poderiam afastar a enorme pedra da entrada. 4 Mas quando chegaram, viram que a pedra, muito pesada, já tinha sido removida e que a entrada estava aberta. 5 Entraram no túmulo e viram, sentado do lado direito, um jovem vestido de branco e assustaram-se. 6 Então ele disse-lhes: "Não fiquem atemorizadas. É Jesus, o nazareno que foi crucificado, que procuram? Não está aqui, ressuscitou! 7 Vejam, era aqui que o seu corpo se encontrava. Vão e deem este recado aos seus discípulos, incluindo Pedro: ‘Jesus vai adiante de vocês para a Galileia e ali o verão, tal como vos disse antes de morrer.’ " 8 Trémulas e confusas, demasiado amedrontadas para falar, as mulheres saíram do túmulo em fuga. E não disseram nada uma à outra, porque estavam assustadas.

9 Na madrugada de domingo Jesus ressuscitou e a primeira pessoa que o viu foi Maria Madalena, de quem tinha expulsado sete demónios. 10 Ela veio ter com os discípulos que estavam tristes e chorosos. 11 E anunciou-lhes que tinha visto Jesus que se encontrava vivo. Mas eles não acreditaram.

12 Naquele dia, mais tarde, Jesus apareceu de outra forma a dois deles que iam de Jerusalém para os campos. 13 Estes voltaram correndo para Jerusalém, para dar a notícia aos outros, mas ninguém acreditou neles. 14 Mais tarde, Jesus apareceu aos onze discípulos, quando estavam a comer juntos, e censurou-os pela sua incredulidade, pela sua dureza de coração em acreditar nos testemunhos daqueles que o tinham visto depois de ter ressuscitado dentre os mortos.

15 Então disse-lhes: "Vão por todo o mundo e preguem a boa nova a todos e em toda a parte. 16 Quem crer e for batizado será salvo, mas quem não quiser crer será condenado. 17 E darei a quem crer os seguintes sinais: em meu nome expulsará demónios e falará novas línguas. 18 Poderá até pegar em serpentes e se beber alguma coisa venenosa não lhe fará mal. Poderá colocar as mãos sobre os doentes e curá-los."

19 Quando acabou de falar-lhes, Jesus foi levado para o céu e sentou-se à direita de Deus. 20 Os discípulos foram pregando por toda a parte e o Senhor estava com eles, comprovando o que diziam com os sinais que acompanhavam a sua mensagem.

1 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him. 2 And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun. 3 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre? 4 And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great. 5 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted. 6 And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him. 7 But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you. 8 And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid.

9 Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils. 10 And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept. 11 And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.

12 After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country. 13 And they went and told it unto the residue: neither believed they them.

14 Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen. 15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
