Notes on this text (2)
- The Old Testament is translated from the Hebrew, not from the Septuagint read in the Orthodox Church; there are no deuterocanonical books.
- Katharevousa (learned 19th-century Greek), as in the CrossWire module (text from theword.gr).
1 Αφού δε επέρασε το σάββατον, περί τα χαράγματα της πρώτης ημέρας της εβδομάδος ήλθε Μαρία η Μαγδαληνή και η άλλη Μαρία, διά να θεωρήσωσι τον τάφον.
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.
2 Και ιδού έγεινε σεισμός μέγας· διότι άγγελος Κυρίου καταβάς εξ ουρανού ήλθε και απεκύλισε τον λίθον από της θύρας και εκάθητο επάνω αυτού.
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.
3 Ήτο δε η όψις αυτού ως αστραπή και το ένδυμα αυτού λευκόν ως χιών.
3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow.
4 Και από του φόβου αυτού εταράχθησαν οι φύλακες και έγειναν ως νεκροί.
4 For fear of him, the guards shook, and became like dead men.
5 Αποκριθείς δε ο άγγελος είπε προς τας γυναίκας· μη φοβείσθε σείς· διότι εξεύρω ότι Ιησούν τον εσταυρωμένον ζητείτε·
5 The angel answered the women, “Don’t be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus, who has been crucified.
6 δεν είναι εδώ· διότι ανέστη, καθώς είπεν. Έλθετε, ίδετε τον τόπον όπου έκειτο ο Κύριος.
6 He is not here, for he has risen, just like he said. Come, see the place where the Lord was lying.
7 Και υπάγετε ταχέως και είπατε προς τους μαθητάς αυτού ότι ανέστη εκ των νεκρών, και ιδού, υπάγει πρότερον υμών εις την Γαλιλαίαν· εκεί θέλετε ιδεί αυτόν· ιδού, σας είπον.
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.”
8 Και εξελθούσαι ταχέως από του μνημείου μετά φόβου και χαράς μεγάλης έδραμον να απαγγείλωσι προς τους μαθητάς αυτού.
8 They departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring his disciples word.
9 Ενώ δε ήρχοντο να απαγγείλωσι προς τους μαθητάς αυτού, ιδού, ο Ιησούς απήντησεν αυτάς, λέγων· Χαίρετε. Και εκείναι προσελθούσαι επίασαν τους πόδας αυτού και προσεκύνησαν αυτόν.
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.
10 Τότε λέγει προς αυτάς ο Ιησούς· Μη φοβείσθε· υπάγετε, απαγγείλατε προς τους αδελφούς μου, διά να υπάγωσιν εις την Γαλιλαίαν· και εκεί θέλουσι με ιδεί.
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.”
11 Ενώ δε αυταί απήρχοντο, ιδού, τινές των φυλάκων ελθόντες εις την πόλιν απήγγειλαν προς τους αρχιερείς πάντα τα γενόμενα,
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.
12 Και συναχθέντες μετά των πρεσβυτέρων και συμβουλευθέντες έδωκαν εις τους στρατιώτας αργύρια ικανά,
12 When they were assembled with the elders and had taken counsel, they gave a large amount of silver to the soldiers,
13 λέγοντες· Είπατε ότι οι μαθηταί αυτού ελθόντες διά νυκτός έκλεψαν αυτόν, ενώ ημείς εκοιμώμεθα.
13 saying, “Say that his disciples came by night and stole him away while we slept.
14 Και εάν ακουσθή τούτο ενώπιον του ηγεμόνος, ημείς θέλομεν πείσει αυτόν και εσάς θέλομεν κάμει αμερίμνους.
14 If this comes to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him and make you free of worry.”
15 Εκείνοι δε λαβόντες τα αργύρια, έπραξαν ως εδιδάχθησαν. Και διεφημίσθη ο λόγος ούτος παρά τοις Ιουδαίοις μέχρι της σήμερον.
15 So they took the money and did as they were told. This saying was spread abroad among the Jews, and continues until today.
16 Οι δε ένδεκα μαθηταί υπήγον εις την Γαλιλαίαν, εις το όρος όπου παρήγγειλεν εις αυτούς ο Ιησούς.
16 But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had sent them.
17 Και ιδόντες αυτόν προσεκύνησαν αυτόν, τινές δε εδίστασαν.
17 When they saw him, they bowed down to him; but some doubted.
18 Και προσελθών ο Ιησούς, ελάλησε προς αυτούς, λέγων· Εδόθη εις εμέ πάσα εξουσία εν ουρανώ και επί γης.
18 Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.
19 Πορευθέντες λοιπόν μαθητεύσατε πάντα τα έθνη, βαπτίζοντες αυτούς εις το όνομα του Πατρός και του Υιού και του Αγίου Πνεύματος,
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,
20 διδάσκοντες αυτούς να φυλάττωσι πάντα όσα παρήγγειλα εις εσάς· και ιδού, εγώ είμαι μεθ' υμών πάσας τας ημέρας έως της συντελείας του αιώνος. Αμήν.
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.

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.
