1 No fim do sábado, ao alvorecer do primeiro dia da semana, Maria Madalena e a outra Maria foram ver o sepulcro.
2 Eis que tinha havido um grande terremoto; pois um anjo do Senhor descera do céu e, chegando-se ao sepulcro, removera a pedra, e sentara-se sobre ela.
3 A sua aparência era como um relâmpago, e a sua veste branca como a neve.
4 Os guardas, receiosos dele, tremeram e ficaram como mortos.
5 Mas o anjo disse às mulheres: Não temais vós; porque sei que procurais a Jesus, que foi crucificado.
6 Ele não está aqui, porque ressuscitou, como 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 Galiléia; 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 meus irmãos que se dirijam à Galiléia, e lá me hão de ver.
11 Enquanto elas iam, vieram à cidade alguns soldados 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 isto chegar aos ouvidos 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 se há divulgado entre os judeus até o dia de hoje.
16 Partiram os onze discípulos para a Galiléia, para o monte que Jesus lhes designara;
17 e vendo-o, adoraram-no, mas alguns tiveram suas dúvidas.
18 Jesus, aproximando-se, disse-lhes: Foi-me dado todo o poder no céu e na terra.
19 Ide, pois, e fazei discípulos de todas as nações, batizando-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. Eis que eu estou convosco todos os dias até o fim do mundo.
1 And on the eve of the sabbaths, at the dawn, toward the first of the sabbaths, came Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, to see the sepulchre,
2 and lo, there came a great earthquake, for a messenger of the Lord, having come down out of heaven, having come, did roll away the stone from the door, and was sitting upon it,
3 and his countenance was as lightning, and his clothing white as snow,
4 and from the fear of him did the keepers shake, and they became as dead men.
5 And the messenger answering said to the women, `Fear not ye, for I have known that Jesus, who hath been crucified, ye seek;
6 he is not here, for he rose, as he said; come, see the place where the Lord was lying;
7 and having gone quickly, say ye to his disciples, that he rose from the dead; and lo, he doth go before you to Galilee, there ye shall see him; lo, I have told you.`
8 And having gone forth quickly from the tomb, with fear and great joy, they ran to tell to his disciples;
9 and as they were going to tell to his disciples, then lo, Jesus met them, saying, `Hail!` and they having come near, laid hold of his feet, and did bow to him.
10 Then saith Jesus to them, `Fear ye not, go away, tell to my brethren that they may go away to Galilee, and there they shall see me.`
11 And while they are going on, lo, certain of the watch having come to the city, told to the chief priests all the things that happened,
12 and having been gathered together with the elders, counsel also having taken, they gave much money to the soldiers,
13 saying, `Say ye, that his disciples having come by night, stole him -- we being asleep;
14 and if this be heard by the governor, we will persuade him, and you keep free from anxiety.`
15 And they, having received the money, did as they were taught, and this account was spread abroad among Jews till this day.
16 And the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mount where Jesus appointed them,
17 and having seen him, they bowed to him, but some did waver.
18 And having come near, Jesus spake to them, saying, `Given to me was all authority in heaven and on earth;
19 having gone, then, disciple all the nations, (baptizing them -- to the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,
20 teaching them to observe all, whatever I did command you,) and lo, I am with you all the days -- till the full end of the age.`
