Mateo 28
La resurrección
1 Pasado el sábado, al amanecer del primer día de la semana, fueron María Magdalena y la otra María a ver el sepulcro.2 De pronto hubo un gran terremoto, porque un ángel del Señor descendió del cielo y, acercándose, removió la piedra y se sentó sobre ella.3 Su aspecto era como un relámpago, y su vestido blanco como la nieve.4 De miedo de él, los guardas temblaron y se quedaron como muertos.5 Pero el ángel dijo a las mujeres: «No temáis vosotras, porque yo sé que buscáis a Jesús, el que fue crucificado.6 No está aquí, pues ha resucitado, como dijo. Venid, ved el lugar donde fue puesto el Señor.
7 E id pronto y decid a sus discípulos que ha resucitado de los muertos y va delante de vosotros a Galilea; allí lo veréis. Ya os lo he dicho.»
8 Entonces ellas, saliendo del sepulcro con temor y gran gozo, fueron corriendo a dar las nuevas a sus discípulos. Y mientras iban a dar las nuevas a los discípulos,
9 Jesús les salió al encuentro, diciendo:
—¡Salve!
Y ellas, acercándose, abrazaron sus pies y lo adoraron.
10 Entonces Jesús les dijo:
—No temáis; id, dad las nuevas a mis hermanos, para que vayan a Galilea, y allí me verán.
El informe de la guardia
11 Mientras ellas iban, unos de la guardia fueron a la ciudad y dieron aviso a los principales sacerdotes de todas las cosas que habían acontecido.12 Estos se reunieron con los ancianos y, después de ponerse de acuerdo, dieron mucho dinero a los soldados,13 diciéndoles: «Decid vosotros: “Sus discípulos llegaron de noche y lo hurtaron mientras nosotros estábamos dormidos.”
14 Y si esto lo oye el gobernador, nosotros lo persuadiremos y os pondremos a salvo.»
15 Ellos tomaron el dinero e hicieron como se les había instruido. Este dicho se ha divulgado entre los judíos hasta el día de hoy.
La gran comisión
16 Pero los once discípulos se fueron a Galilea, al monte donde Jesús les había ordenado.17 Cuando lo vieron, lo adoraron, aunque algunos dudaban.18 Jesús se acercó y les habló diciendo: «Toda potestad me es dada en el cielo y en la tierra.19 Por tanto, id y haced discípulos a todas las naciones, bautizándolos en el nombre del Padre, del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo,
20 y enseñándoles que guarden todas las cosas que os he mandado. Y yo estoy con vosotros todos los días, hasta el fin del mundo.»
Amén.
MATTHEW 28
Jesus Is Alive
(Mark 16.1-8; Luke 24.1-12; John 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 governort 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 16.14-18; Luke 24.36-49; John 20.19-23; Acts 1.6-8)
16 t 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 t 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.
