Mateus 28

A ressurreição de Jesus. Sua aparição às mulheres

1 *Mt 27.1-8;Mc 16.1-8;Lc 24.1-10; cp.Jo 20.1-8No fim do sábado, ao alvorecer do primeiro dia da semana, *vd.Mt 27.56,61Maria Madalena e a outra Maria foram ver o sepulcro. 2 Eis que tinha havido um grande terremoto; pois *cp.Lc 24.4;Jo 20.12um anjo do Senhor descera do céu, e, chegando-se ao sepulcro, removera *Mc 16.4;Mt 27.60,66a pedra, e sentara-se sobre ela. 3 *cp.Dn 7.9;10.6;Mc 9.3;Jo 20.12;At 1.10A sua aparência era como um relâmpago, e a sua veste, branca como a neve. 4 Os guardas, receosos dele, tremeram e ficaram como mortos. 5 Mas o anjo disse às mulheres: *Mt 27.10;Mt 14.27Não temais vós; porque sei que procurais a Jesus, que foi crucificado. 6 Ele não está aqui, porque ressuscitou, *Mt 27.63; cp.12.40;16.21como disse; vinde e vede o lugar onde ele jazia. 7 Ide depressa dizer a seus discípulos que ele ressuscitou dos mortos e vai adiante de vós para a *Mt 26.32;Mt 28.10,16Galileia; lá, o vereis. Olhai que vo-lo tenho dito. 8 Elas deixaram apressadamente o túmulo, tomadas de medo e grande gozo, e foram correndo avisar os discípulos. 9 Eis que Jesus as encontrou e lhes disse: Salve! Elas, aproximando-se, abraçaram-lhe os pés e adoraram-no. 10 Então lhes disse Jesus: Não temais; ide avisar a *Jo 20.17; cp.Rm 8.29;Hb 2.11-12,17meus irmãos que se dirijam à Galileia e lá me hão de ver.

Os judeus subornam os guardas

11 Enquanto elas iam, vieram à cidade alguns *Mt 27.65-66soldados da guarda e contaram aos principais sacerdotes tudo o que havia sucedido. 12 Estes, reunidos com os anciãos, tendo consultado entre si, deram bastante dinheiro aos soldados, 13 recomendando-lhes que dissessem: Os seus discípulos vieram de noite e furtaram-no, enquanto nós dormíamos. 14 Se isso chegar aos *Mt 27.2ouvidos do governador, nós o persuadiremos e vos livraremos de cuidado. 15 Os soldados receberam o dinheiro e fizeram como lhes haviam recomendado; e esta notícia *Mt 9.31;Mc 1.45se há divulgado entre os judeus até o *Mt 27.8dia de hoje.

Jesus aparece aos discípulos na Galileia. A missão dos apóstolos ao mundo

16 Partiram os onze discípulos *Mt 26.32;Mt 28.7,10para a Galileia, para o monte que Jesus lhes designara; 17 e, vendo-o, adoraram-no, mas *vd.Mc 16.11alguns tiveram suas dúvidas. 18 Jesus, aproximando-se, disse-lhes: *Mt 26.64; cp.Dn 7.13s.;Rm 14.9;Ef 1.20-22;Fp 2.9s.;Cl 2.10;1Pe 3.22; vd.Mt 11.27Foi-me dado todo o poder no céu e na terra. 19 *Mc 16.15s.Ide, pois, *Mt 13.52; cp.At 14.21e fazei discípulos de *Lc 24.47; cp.Mt 25.32todas as nações, *cp.At 2.38;8.16;Rm 6.3;1Co 1.13,15ss.;Gl 3.27batizando-as em o nome do Pai, e do Filho, e do Espírito Santo; 20 instruindo-as a observar todas as coisas que vos tenho mandado. *Mt 18.20;At 18.10Eis que eu estou convosco todos os dias até o *vd.Mt 13.39fim do mundo.

1 Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. 2 Behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from the sky and came and rolled away the stone from the door and sat on it. 3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. 4 For fear of him, the guards shook, and became like dead men. 5 The angel answered the women, "Don’t be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus, who has been crucified. 6 He is not here, for he has risen, just like he said. Come, see the place where the Lord was lying. 7 Go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has risen from the dead, and behold, he goes before you into Galilee; there you will see him.’ Behold, I have told you."

8 They departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring his disciples word. 9 As they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, "Rejoice!"

They came and took hold of his feet, and worshiped him.

10 Then Jesus said to them, "Don’t be afraid. Go tell my brothers *28:10 The word for "brothers" here may be also correctly translated "brothers and sisters" or "siblings." that they should go into Galilee, and there they will see me."

11 Now while they were going, behold, some of the guards came into the city and told the chief priests all the things that had happened. 12 When they were assembled with the elders and had taken counsel, they gave a large amount of silver to the soldiers, 13 saying, "Say that his disciples came by night and stole him away while we slept. 14 If this comes to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him and make you free of worry." 15 So they took the money and did as they were told. This saying was spread abroad among the Jews, and continues until today.

16 But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had sent them. 17 When they saw him, they bowed down to him; but some doubted. 18 Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go*28:19 TR and NU add "therefore" and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.
