PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 οψε δε σαββατων τη επιφωσκουση εισ μιαν σαββατων ηλθεν μαρια η μαγδαληνη και η αλλη μαρια θεωρησαι τον ταφον
1 Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.
1 Ὀψὲ δὲ σαββάτων, τῇ ἐπιφωσκούσῃ εἰς μίαν σαββάτων, ἦλθε Μαρία ἡ Μαγδαληνὴ καὶ ἡ ἄλλη Μαρία θεωρῆσαι τὸν τάφον.
2 και ιδου σεισμοσ εγενετο μεγασ αγγελοσ γαρ κυριου καταβασ εξ ουρανου προσελθων απεκυλισεν τον λιθον απο τησ θυρασ και εκαθητο επανω αυτου
2 Behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from the sky and came and rolled away the stone from the door and sat on it.
2 καὶ ἰδοὺ σεισμὸς ἐγένετο μέγας· ἄγγελος γὰρ Κυρίου καταβὰς ἐξ οὐρανοῦ προσελθὼν ἀπεκύλισε τὸν λίθον ἀπὸ τῆς θύρας καὶ ἐκάθητο ἐπάνω αὐτοῦ.
3 ην δε η ιδεα αυτου ωσ αστραπη και το ενδυμα αυτου λευκον ωσει χιων
3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow.
3 ἦν δὲ ἡ ἰδέα αὐτοῦ ὡς ἀστραπὴ καὶ τὸ ἔνδυμα αὐτοῦ λευκὸν ὡσεὶ χιών.
4 απο δε του φοβου αυτου εσεισθησαν οι τηρουντεσ και εγενοντο ωσει νεκροι
4 For fear of him, the guards shook, and became like dead men.
4 ἀπὸ δὲ τοῦ φόβου αὐτοῦ ἐσείσθησαν οἱ τηροῦντες καὶ ἐγένοντο ὡσεὶ νεκροί.
5 αποκριθεισ δε ο αγγελοσ ειπεν ταισ γυναιξιν μη φοβεισθε υμεισ οιδα γαρ οτι ιησουν τον εσταυρωμενον ζητειτε
5 The angel answered the women, “Don’t be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus, who has been crucified.
5 ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ ἄγγελος εἶπε ταῖς γυναιξί· μὴ φοβεῖσθε ὑμεῖς· οἶδα γὰρ ὅτι Ἰησοῦν τὸν ἐσταυρωμένον ζητεῖτε·
6 ουκ εστιν ωδε ηγερθη γαρ καθωσ ειπεν δευτε ιδετε τον τοπον οπου εκειτο ο κυριοσ
6 He is not here, for he has risen, just like he said. Come, see the place where the Lord was lying.
6 οὐκ ἔστιν ὧδε· ἠγέρθη γὰρ καθὼς εἶπε. δεῦτε ἴδετε τὸν τόπον ὅπου ἔκειτο ὁ Κύριος.
7 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
7 Go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has risen from the dead, and behold, he goes before you into Galilee; there you will see him.’ Behold, I have told you.”
7 καὶ ταχὺ πορευθεῖσαι εἴπατε τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ ὅτι ἠγέρθη ἀπὸ τῶν νεκρῶν, καὶ ἰδοὺ προάγει ὑμᾶς εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν· ἐκεῖ αὐτὸν ὄψεσθε· ἰδοὺ εἶπον ὑμῖν.
8 και εξελθουσαι ταχυ απο του μνημειου μετα φοβου και χαρασ μεγαλησ εδραμον απαγγειλαι τοισ μαθηταισ αυτου
8 They departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring his disciples word.
8 καὶ ἐξελθοῦσαι ταχὺ ἀπὸ τοῦ μνημείου μετὰ φόβου καὶ χαρᾶς μεγάλης ἔδραμον ἀπαγγεῖλαι τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ.
9 ωσ δε επορευοντο απαγγειλαι τοισ μαθηταισ αυτου και ιδου ιησουσ απηντησεν αυταισ λεγων χαιρετε αι δε προσελθουσαι εκρατησαν αυτου τουσ ποδασ και προσεκυνησαν αυτω
9 As they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Rejoice!” They came and took hold of his feet, and worshiped him.
9 [ὡς δὲ ἐπορεύοντο ἀπαγγεῖλαι τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ,] καὶ ἰδοὺ Ἰησοῦς ἀπήντησεν αὐταῖς λέγων· χαίρετε. αἱ δὲ προσελθοῦσαι ἐκράτησαν αὐτοῦ τοὺς πόδας καὶ προσεκύνησαν αὐτῷ.
10 τοτε λεγει αυταισ ο ιησουσ μη φοβεισθε υπαγετε απαγγειλατε τοισ αδελφοισ μου ινα απελθωσιν εισ την γαλιλαιαν και εκει με οψονται
10 Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Go tell my brothers that they should go into Galilee, and there they will see me.”
10 τότε λέγει αὐταῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· μὴ φοβεῖσθε· ὑπάγετε ἀπαγγείλατε τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς μου ἵνα ἀπέλθωσιν εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν, κἀκεῖ με ὄψονται.
11 πορευομενων δε αυτων ιδου τινεσ τησ κουστωδιασ ελθοντεσ εισ την πολιν απηγγειλαν τοισ αρχιερευσιν απαντα τα γενομενα
11 Now while they were going, behold, some of the guards came into the city and told the chief priests all the things that had happened.
11 Πορευομένων δὲ αὐτῶν ἰδού τινες τῆς κουστωδίας ἐλθόντες εἰς τὴν πόλιν ἀπήγγειλαν τοῖς ἀρχιερεῦσιν ἅπαντα τὰ γενόμενα.
12 και συναχθεντεσ μετα των πρεσβυτερων συμβουλιον τε λαβοντεσ αργυρια ικανα εδωκαν τοισ στρατιωταισ
12 When they were assembled with the elders and had taken counsel, they gave a large amount of silver to the soldiers,
12 καὶ συναχθέντες μετὰ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων συμβούλιόν τε λαβόντες ἀργύρια ἱκανὰ ἔδωκαν τοῖς στρατιώταις λέγοντες·
13 λεγοντεσ ειπατε οτι οι μαθηται αυτου νυκτοσ ελθοντεσ εκλεψαν αυτον ημων κοιμωμενων
13 saying, “Say that his disciples came by night and stole him away while we slept.
13 εἴπατε ὅτι οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ νυκτὸς ἐλθόντες ἔκλεψαν αὐτὸν ἡμῶν κοιμωμένων.
14 και εαν ακουσθη τουτο επι του ηγεμονοσ ημεισ πεισομεν αυτον και υμασ αμεριμνουσ ποιησομεν
14 If this comes to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him and make you free of worry.”
14 καὶ ἐὰν ἀκουσθῇ τοῦτο ἐπὶ τοῦ ἡγεμόνος, ἡμεῖς πείσομεν αὐτὸν καὶ ὑμᾶς ἀμερίμνους ποιήσομεν.
15 οι δε λαβοντεσ τα αργυρια εποιησαν ωσ εδιδαχθησαν και διεφημισθη ο λογοσ ουτοσ παρα ιουδαιοισ μεχρι τησ σημερον
15 So they took the money and did as they were told. This saying was spread abroad among the Jews, and continues until today.
15 οἱ δὲ λαβόντες τὰ ἀργύρια ἐποίησαν ὡς ἐδιδάχθησαν. καὶ διεφημίσθη ὁ λόγος οὗτος παρὰ Ἰουδαίοις μέχρι τῆς σήμερον.
16 οι δε ενδεκα μαθηται επορευθησαν εισ την γαλιλαιαν εισ το οροσ ου εταξατο αυτοισ ο ιησουσ
16 But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had sent them.
16 Οἱ δὲ ἕνδεκα μαθηταὶ ἐπορεύθησαν εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν, εἰς τὸ ὄρος οὗ ἐτάξατο αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς.
17 και ιδοντεσ αυτον προσεκυνησαν αυτω οι δε εδιστασαν
17 When they saw him, they bowed down to him; but some doubted.
17 καὶ ἰδόντες αὐτὸν προσεκύνησαν αὐτῷ, οἱ δὲ ἐδίστασαν.
18 και προσελθων ο ιησουσ ελαλησεν αυτοισ λεγων εδοθη μοι πασα εξουσια εν ουρανω και επι γησ
18 Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.
18 καὶ προσελθὼν ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐλάλησεν αὐτοῖς λέγων· ἐδόθη μοι πᾶσα ἐξουσία ἐν οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐπὶ γῆς.
19 πορευθεντεσ μαθητευσατε παντα τα εθνη βαπτιζοντεσ αυτουσ εισ το ονομα του πατροσ και του υιου και του αγιου πνευματοσ
19 Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
19 πορευθέντες μαθητεύσατε πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, βαπτίζοντες αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ Πατρὸς καὶ τοῦ Υἱοῦ καὶ τοῦ Ἁγίου Πνεύματος,
20 διδασκοντεσ αυτουσ τηρειν παντα οσα ενετειλαμην υμιν και ιδου εγω μεθ υμων ειμι πασασ τασ ημερασ εωσ τησ συντελειασ του αιωνοσ αμην
20 teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
20 διδάσκοντες αὐτοὺς τηρεῖν πάντα ὅσα ἐνετειλάμην ὑμῖν· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ μεθ᾽ ὑμῶν εἰμι πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας ἕως τῆς συντελείας τοῦ αἰῶνος. ἀμήν.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
For the sake of these soldiers that earthquake took place, in order to dismay them, and that the testimony might come from them, which accordingly was the result. For the report was thus free from suspicion, as proceeding from the guards themselves.
