Matthew 28

NEW JERUSALEM	GREEK BIBLE
1 After the Sabbath, and towards dawn on the first day of the week, Mary of Magdala and the other Marywent to visit the sepulchre.	1 Αφου δε επερασε το σαββατον, περι τα χαραγματα της πρωτης ημερας της εβδομαδος ηλθε Μαρια η Μαγδαληνη και η αλλη Μαρια, δια να θεωρησωσι τον ταφον.
2 And suddenly there was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord, descending from heaven, cameand rol ed away the stone and sat on it.	2 Και ιδου εγεινε σεισμος μεγας? διοτι αγγελος Κυριου καταβας εξ ουρανου ηλθε και απεκυλισε τον λιθον απο της θυρας και εκαθητο επανω αυτου.
3 His face was like lightning, his robe white as snow.	3 Ητο δε η οψις αυτου ως αστραπη και το ενδυμα αυτου λευκον ως χιων.
4 The guards were so shaken by fear of him that they were like dead men.	4 Και απο του φοβου αυτου εταραχθησαν οι φυλακες και εγειναν ως νεκροι.
5 But the angel spoke; and he said to the women, 'There is no need for you to be afraid. I know you arelooking for Jesus, who was crucified.	5 Αποκριθεις δε ο αγγελος ειπε προς τας γυναικας? μη φοβεισθε σεις? διοτι εξευρω οτι Ιησουν τον εσταυρωμενον ζητειτε?
6 He is not here, for he has risen, as he said he would. Come and see the place where he lay,	6 δεν ειναι εδω? διοτι ανεστη, καθως ειπεν. Ελθετε, ιδετε τον τοπον οπου εκειτο ο Κυριος.
7 then go quickly and tel his disciples, "He has risen from the dead and now he is going ahead of you toGalilee; that is where you wil see him." Look! I have told you.'	7 Και υπαγετε ταχεως και ειπατε προς τους μαθητας αυτου οτι ανεστη εκ των νεκρων, και ιδου, υπαγει προτερον υμων εις την Γαλιλαιαν? εκει θελετε ιδει αυτον? ιδου, σας ειπον.
8 Fil ed with awe and great joy the women came quickly away from the tomb and ran to tel his disciples.	8 Και εξελθουσαι ταχεως απο του μνημειου μετα φοβου και χαρας μεγαλης εδραμον να απαγγειλωσι προς τους μαθητας αυτου.
9 And suddenly, coming to meet them, was Jesus. 'Greetings,' he said. And the women came up to himand, clasping his feet, they did him homage.	9 Ενω δε ηρχοντο να απαγγειλωσι προς τους μαθητας αυτου, ιδου, ο Ιησους απηντησεν αυτας, λεγων? Χαιρετε. Και εκειναι προσελθουσαι επιασαν τους ποδας αυτου και προσεκυνησαν αυτον.
10 Then Jesus said to them, 'Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers that they must leave for Galilee;there they wil see me.'	10 Τοτε λεγει προς αυτας ο Ιησους? Μη φοβεισθε? υπαγετε, απαγγειλατε προς τους αδελφους μου, δια να υπαγωσιν εις την Γαλιλαιαν? και εκει θελουσι με ιδει.
11 Now while they were on their way, some of the guards went off into the city to tell the chief priests althat had happened.	11 Ενω δε αυται απηρχοντο, ιδου, τινες των φυλακων ελθοντες εις την πολιν απηγγειλαν προς τους αρχιερεις παντα τα γενομενα,
12 These held a meeting with the elders and, after some discussion, handed a considerable sum ofmoney to the soldiers	12 Και συναχθεντες μετα των πρεσβυτερων και συμβουλευθεντες εδωκαν εις τους στρατιωτας αργυρια ικανα,
13 with these instructions, 'This is what you must say, "His disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep."	13 λεγοντες? Ειπατε οτι οι μαθηται αυτου ελθοντες δια νυκτος εκλεισαν αυτον, ενω ημεις εκοιμωμεθα.
14 And should the governor come to hear of this, we undertake to put things right with him ourselvesand to see that you do not get into trouble.'	14 Και εαν ακουσθη τουτο ενωπιον του ηγεμονος, ημεις θελομεν πεισει αυτον και εσας θελομεν καμει αμεριμνους.
15 So they took the money and carried out their instructions, and to this day that is the story among theJews.	15 Εκεινοι δε λαβοντες τα αργυρια, επραξαν ως εδιδαχθησαν. Και διεφημισθη ο λογος ουτος παρα τοις Ιουδαιοις μεχρι της σημερον.
16 Meanwhile the eleven disciples set out for Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had arranged tomeet them.	16 Οι δε ενδεκα μαθηται υπηγον εις την Γαλιλαιαν, εις το ορος οπου παρηγγειλεν εις αυτους ο Ιησους.
17 When they saw him they fell down before him, though some hesitated.	17 Και ιδοντες αυτον προσεκυνησαν αυτον, τινες δε εδιστασαν.
18 Jesus came up and spoke to them. He said, 'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given tome.	18 Και προσελθων ο Ιησους, ελαλησε προς αυτους, λεγων? Εδοθη εις εμε πασα εξουσια εν ουρανω και επι γης.
19 Go, therefore, make disciples of al nations; baptise them in the name of the Father and of the Sonand of the Holy Spirit,	19 Πορευθεντες λοιπον μαθητευσατε παντα τα εθνη, βαπτιζοντες αυτους εις το ονομα του Πατρος και του Υιου και του Αγιου Πνευματος,
20 and teach them to observe al the commands I gave you. And look, I am with you always; yes, to theend of time.'	20 διδασκοντες αυτους να φυλαττωσι παντα οσα παρηγγειλα εις εσας? και ιδου, εγω ειμαι μεθ' υμων πασας τας ημερας εως της συντελειας του αιωνος. Αμην.
