Jesus Is Alive
(Mark 16.1-8Luke 24.1-12John 20.1-10)1 The Sabbath was over, and it was almost daybreak on Sunday when Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. 2 Suddenly a strong earthquake struck, and the Lord's angel came down from heaven. He rolled away the stone and sat on it. 3 The angel looked as bright as lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. 4 The guards shook from fear and fell down, as though they were dead.
5 The angel said to the women, “Don't be afraid! I know you are looking for Jesus, who was nailed to a cross. 6 He isn't here! God has raised him to life, just as Jesus said he would. Come, see the place where his body was lying. 7 Now hurry! Tell his disciples he has been raised to life and is on his way to Galilee. Go there, and you will see him. This is what I came to tell you.”
8 The women were frightened and yet very happy, as they hurried from the tomb and ran to tell his disciples. 9 Suddenly Jesus met them and greeted them. They went near him, held on to his feet, and worshiped him. 10 Then Jesus said, “Don't be afraid! Tell my followers to go to Galilee. They will see me there.”
Report of the Guard
11 While the women were on their way, some soldiers who had been guarding the tomb went into the city. They told the chief priests everything that had happened. 12 So the chief priests met with the leaders and decided to bribe the soldiers with a lot of money. 13 They said to the soldiers, “Tell everyone that Jesus' disciples came during the night and stole his body while you were asleep. 14 If the governor hears about this, we will talk to him. You won't have anything to worry about.” 15 The soldiers took the money and did what they were told. The people of Judea still tell each other this story.
What Jesus' Followers Must Do
(Mark 16.14-18Luke 24.36-49John 20.19-23Acts 1.6-8)16 Jesus' eleven disciples went to a mountain in Galilee, where Jesus had told them to meet him. 17 They saw him and worshiped him, but some of them doubted.
18 Jesus came to them and said:
I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth! 19 Go to the people of all nations and make them my disciples. Baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, 20 and teach them to do everything I have told you. I will be with you always, even until the end of the world.
قيامة يسوع
(مرقس 16:1-8، لوقا 24:1-12، يوحنا 20:1-10)1 ولمّا مَضى السّبتُ وطلَعَ فَجرُ الأحَدِ، جاءَتْ مَريمُ المَجْدَليّةُ ومَريمُ الأُخرى لِزيارَةِ القَبرِ. 2 وفجأةً وقَعَ زِلزالٌ عظيمٌ، حينَ نَزَلَ مَلاكُ الرّبّ مِنَ السّماءِ ودَحرَجَ الحَجَرَ عَنْ بابِ القَبرِ وجلَسَ علَيهِ. 3 وكانَ مَنظرُهُ كالبَرقِ وثَوبُهُ أبيَضَ كالثّلجِ. 4 فاَرتَعبَ الحَرَسُ لمّا رأوهُ وصاروا مِثلَ الأمواتِ.
5 فقالَ المَلاكُ للمَرأتَينِ: «لا تَخافا. أنا أعرِفُ أنّكُما تَطلُبانِ يَسوعَ المَصلوبَ. 6 ما هوَ هُنا، لأنّهُ قامَ كما قالَ. تَقدّما واَنظُرا المكانَ الّذي كانَ مَوضوعًا فيهِ. 7 واَذهَبا في الحالِ إلى تلاميذِهِ وقولا لهُم: قامَ مِنْ بَينِ الأمواتِ، وها هوَ يَسبُقُكُم إلى الجَليلِ، وهُناكَ ترَوْنَهُ. ها أنا قُلتُ لكُما».
8 فتَركَتِ المَرأتانِ القَبرَ مُسرِعَتَينِ وهُما في خَوفٍ وفَرَحٍ عَظيمينِ، وذَهَبتا تحمِلانِ الخَبرَ إلى التّلاميذِ. 9 فلاقاهُما يَسوعُ وقالَ: «السّلامُ علَيكُما». فتَقَدّمَتا وأمسكَتا بِقَدَميهِ وسَجَدتا لَه. 10 فقالَ لهُما يَسوعُ: «لا تَخافا! إذهَبا وقولا لإخوَتي أنْ يَمْضوا إلى الجَليلِ، فهُناكَ يَرَوْنَني».
أقوال الحرس
11 وبَينَما هُما ذاهبتانِ رَجَع بَعضُ الحَرَسِ إلى المدينةِ وأخبَروا رُؤساءَ الكَهَنَةِ بكُلّ ما حدَثَ. 12 فاَجتَمعَ رُؤساءُ الكَهنَةِ والشّيوخُ، وبَعدَما تَشاوَرُوا رَشَوا الجُنودَ بمالٍ كثيرٍ، 13 وقالوا لهُم: «أشيعوا بَينَ النّاسِ أنّ تلاميذَ يَسوعَ جاؤُوا ليلاً وسَرَقوهُ ونَحنُ نائِمونَ. 14 وإذا سَمِعَ الحاكِمُ هذا الخبَرَ، فنَحنُ نُرضيهِ ونَرُدّ الأذى عنكُم». 15 فأخَذَ الحَرَسُ المالَ وعمِلوا كما قالوا لهُم. فاَنتشَرَتْ هذِهِ الرّوايةُ بَينَ اليَهودِ إلى اليوم.
يسوع يظهر لتلاميذه
(مرقس 16:14-18، لوقا 24:36-49، يوحنا 20:19-23، أعمال 1:6-8)16 أمّا التّلاميذُ الأحدَ عشَرَ، فذَهبوا إلى الجَليلِ، إلى الجبَلِ، مِثلما أمرَهُم يَسوعُ. 17 فلمّا رأوْهُ سَجَدوا لَه، ولكِنّ بَعضَهُم شكّوا. 18 فدَنا مِنهُم يَسوعُ وقالَ لهُم:
«نِلتُ كُلّ سُلطانٍ في السّماءِ والأرضِ. 19 فاَذهبوا وتَلْمِذوا جميعَ الأُمَمِ، وعَمّدوهُم باَسمِ الآبِ والابنِ والرّوحِ القُدُسِ، 20 وعلّموهُم أن يَعمَلوا بِكُلّ ما أوصَيْتُكُم بِه، وها أنا مَعكُم طَوالَ الأيّامِ، إلى اَنقِضاءِ الدّهرِ».
