< Matthew 28 >
1 Now on the morning of the Sabbath, when it began to grow light on the first Sabbath, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the sepulcher.
οψε δε σαββατων τη επιφωσκουση εισ μιαν σαββατων ηλθεν μαρια η μαγδαληνη και η αλλη μαρια θεωρησαι τον ταφον
2 And behold, a great earthquake occurred. For an Angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and as he approached, he rolled back the stone and sat down on it.
και ιδου σεισμοσ εγενετο μεγασ αγγελοσ γαρ κυριου καταβασ εξ ουρανου προσελθων απεκυλισεν τον λιθον απο τησ θυρασ και εκαθητο επανω αυτου
3 Now his appearance was like lightning, and his vestment was like snow.
ην δε η ιδεα αυτου ωσ αστραπη και το ενδυμα αυτου λευκον ωσει χιων
4 Then, out of fear of him, the guards were terrified, and they became like dead men.
απο δε του φοβου αυτου εσεισθησαν οι τηρουντεσ και εγενοντο ωσει νεκροι
5 Then the Angel responded by saying to the women: “Do not be afraid. For I know that you are seeking Jesus, who was crucified.
αποκριθεισ δε ο αγγελοσ ειπεν ταισ γυναιξιν μη φοβεισθε υμεισ οιδα γαρ οτι ιησουν τον εσταυρωμενον ζητειτε
6 He is not here. For he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where the Lord was placed.
ουκ εστιν ωδε ηγερθη γαρ καθωσ ειπεν δευτε ιδετε τον τοπον οπου εκειτο ο κυριοσ
7 And then, go quickly, and tell his disciples that he has risen. And behold, he will precede you to Galilee. There you shall see him. Lo, I have told you beforehand.”
και ταχυ πορευθεισαι ειπατε τοισ μαθηταισ αυτου οτι ηγερθη απο των νεκρων και ιδου προαγει υμασ εισ την γαλιλαιαν εκει αυτον οψεσθε ιδου ειπον υμιν
8 And they went out of the tomb quickly, with fear and in great joy, running to announce it to his disciples.
και εξελθουσαι ταχυ απο του μνημειου μετα φοβου και χαρασ μεγαλησ εδραμον απαγγειλαι τοισ μαθηταισ αυτου
9 And behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Hail.” But they drew near and took hold of his feet, and they adored him.
ωσ δε επορευοντο απαγγειλαι τοισ μαθηταισ αυτου και ιδου ιησουσ απηντησεν αυταισ λεγων χαιρετε αι δε προσελθουσαι εκρατησαν αυτου τουσ ποδασ και προσεκυνησαν αυτω
10 Then Jesus said to them: “Do not be afraid. Go, announce it to my brothers, so that they may go to Galilee. There they shall see me.”
τοτε λεγει αυταισ ο ιησουσ μη φοβεισθε υπαγετε απαγγειλατε τοισ αδελφοισ μου ινα απελθωσιν εισ την γαλιλαιαν και εκει με οψονται
11 And when they had departed, behold, some of the guards went into the city, and they reported to the leaders of the priests all that had happened.
πορευομενων δε αυτων ιδου τινεσ τησ κουστωδιασ ελθοντεσ εισ την πολιν απηγγειλαν τοισ αρχιερευσιν απαντα τα γενομενα
12 And gathering together with the elders, having taken counsel, they gave an abundant sum of money to the soldiers,
και συναχθεντεσ μετα των πρεσβυτερων συμβουλιον τε λαβοντεσ αργυρια ικανα εδωκαν τοισ στρατιωταισ
13 saying: “Say that his disciples arrived at night and stole him away, while we were sleeping.
λεγοντεσ ειπατε οτι οι μαθηται αυτου νυκτοσ ελθοντεσ εκλεψαν αυτον ημων κοιμωμενων
14 And if the procurator hears about this, we will persuade him, and we will protect you.”
και εαν ακουσθη τουτο επι του ηγεμονοσ ημεισ πεισομεν αυτον και υμασ αμεριμνουσ ποιησομεν
15 Then, having accepted the money, they did as they were instructed. And this word has been spread among the Jews, even to this day.
οι δε λαβοντεσ τα αργυρια εποιησαν ωσ εδιδαχθησαν και διεφημισθη ο λογοσ ουτοσ παρα ιουδαιοισ μεχρι τησ σημερον
16 Now the eleven disciples went on to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
οι δε ενδεκα μαθηται επορευθησαν εισ την γαλιλαιαν εισ το οροσ ου εταξατο αυτοισ ο ιησουσ
17 And, seeing him, they worshipped him, but certain ones doubted.
και ιδοντεσ αυτον προσεκυνησαν αυτω οι δε εδιστασαν
18 And Jesus, drawing near, spoke to them, saying: “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.
και προσελθων ο ιησουσ ελαλησεν αυτοισ λεγων εδοθη μοι πασα εξουσια εν ουρανω και επι γησ
19 Therefore, go forth and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
πορευθεντεσ μαθητευσατε παντα τα εθνη βαπτιζοντεσ αυτουσ εισ το ονομα του πατροσ και του υιου και του αγιου πνευματοσ
20 teaching them to observe all that I have ever commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, even to the consummation of the age.” (aiōn )
διδασκοντεσ αυτουσ τηρειν παντα οσα ενετειλαμην υμιν και ιδου εγω μεθ υμων ειμι πασασ τασ ημερασ εωσ τησ συντελειασ του αιωνοσ αμην (aiōn )
