Matteus 28

Jesu oppstandelse

(Mark 16,1–10; Luk 24,1–12; Joh 20,1–10)

1 Da sabbaten var over og det begynte å lysne den første dag i uken, gikk Maria Magdalena og den andre Maria for å se til graven. 2 Med ett kom det et kraftig jordskjelv, for en Herrens engel steg ned fra himmelen, gikk fram og rullet steinen til side og satte seg på den. 3 Han var som lynet å se til, og drakten var hvit som snø. 4 Vaktene skalv av redsel da de så ham, og de ble liggende som døde. 5 Men engelen tok til orde og sa til kvinnene: «Frykt ikke! Jeg vet at dere søker Jesus, den korsfestede. 6 Han er ikke her, han er oppstått, slik som han sa. Kom og se stedet hvor han lå! t

7 Skynd dere av sted til hans disipler og si: Han er stått opp fra de døde og går i forveien for dere til Galilea; der skal dere få se ham. – Nå har jeg sagt dere det.»t
8 De skyndte seg da bort fra graven med frykt og stor glede, og løp for å fortelle det til disiplene. 9 Da kom Jesus mot dem og sa: «Vær hilset!» De gikk fram og omfavnet hans føtter og tilbad ham.

10 Jesus sa til dem: «Frykt ikke! Gå og si til mine brødre at de skal dra til Galilea. Der skal de se meg.»t

Et rykte blant jødene

15 De tok imot pengene og gjorde som de fikk beskjed om. Og dette ryktet spredte seg blant jødene og har holdt seg til denne dag.

Misjonsbefalingen

Matthew 28

The Resurrection

1 Now after the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.2 Suddenly there was a severe earthquake, for an angel of the Lordt descending from heaven came and rolled away the stone and sat on it.3 Hist appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow.4 Thet guards were shaken and became like dead men because they were so afraid of him.5 But the angel saidt to the women, “Do not be afraid; I knowt that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.s6 He is not here, for he has been raised,t just as he said. Come and see the place where hes was lying.7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has been raised from the dead. Het is going ahead of you into Galilee. You will see him there.’ Listen, I have told you!”8 Sot they left the tomb quickly, with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples.9 Butt Jesus met them, saying, “Greetings!” Theyt came to him, held on to his feet and worshiped him.

10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee. They will see me there.”

The Guards’ Report

11 Whilet they were going, somet of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests everything that had happened.12 Aftert they had assembled with the elders and formed a plan, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers,13 telling them, “You are to say, ‘His disciples came at night and stole his bodyt while we were asleep.’14 Ift this matter is heard before the governor,t we will satisfy hims and keep you out of trouble.”t

15 So they took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story is told among the Jews to this day.s

The Great Commission

16 Sot the eleven disciples went to Galilee to the mountain Jesus had designated.17 Whent they saw him, they worshiped him,t but some doubted.t18 Then Jesus came up and said to them,t “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.19 Therefore got and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,s

20 teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And remember,t I am with yous always, to the end of the age.”s
