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 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. 2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. 3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: 4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. 5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. 6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. 7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you. 8 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.

9 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him. 10 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

11 Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done. 12 And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers, 13 Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept. 14 And if this come to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him, and secure you. 15 So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.

16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. 17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
