Vangelo secondo Matteo - Matthew 28

GREEK BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
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.	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.
2 Και ιδου εγεινε σεισμος μεγας? διοτι αγγελος Κυριου καταβας εξ ουρανου ηλθε και απεκυλισε τον λιθον απο της θυρας και εκαθητο επανω αυτου.	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.
3 Ητο δε η οψις αυτου ως αστραπη και το ενδυμα αυτου λευκον ως χιων.	3 His face was like lightning, his robe white as snow.
4 Και απο του φοβου αυτου εταραχθησαν οι φυλακες και εγειναν ως νεκροι.	4 The guards were so shaken by fear of him that they were like dead men.
5 Αποκριθεις δε ο αγγελος ειπε προς τας γυναικας? μη φοβεισθε σεις? διοτι εξευρω οτι Ιησουν τον εσταυρωμενον ζητειτε?	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.
6 δεν ειναι εδω? διοτι ανεστη, καθως ειπεν. Ελθετε, ιδετε τον τοπον οπου εκειτο ο Κυριος.	6 He is not here, for he has risen, as he said he would. Come and see the place where he lay,
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.	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.'
8 Και εξελθουσαι ταχεως απο του μνημειου μετα φοβου και χαρας μεγαλης εδραμον να απαγγειλωσι προς τους μαθητας αυτου.	8 Fil ed with awe and great joy the women came quickly away from the tomb and ran to tel his disciples.
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.	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.
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.	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.'
11 Ενω δε αυται απηρχοντο, ιδου, τινες των φυλακων ελθοντες εις την πολιν απηγγειλαν προς τους αρχιερεις παντα τα γενομενα,	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.
12 Και συναχθεντες μετα των πρεσβυτερων και συμβουλευθεντες εδωκαν εις τους στρατιωτας αργυρια ικανα,	12 These held a meeting with the elders and, after some discussion, handed a considerable sum ofmoney to the soldiers
13 λεγοντες? Ειπατε οτι οι μαθηται αυτου ελθοντες δια νυκτος εκλεισαν αυτον, ενω ημεις εκοιμωμεθα.	13 with these instructions, 'This is what you must say, "His disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep."
14 Και εαν ακουσθη τουτο ενωπιον του ηγεμονος, ημεις θελομεν πεισει αυτον και εσας θελομεν καμει αμεριμνους.	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.'
15 Εκεινοι δε λαβοντες τα αργυρια, επραξαν ως εδιδαχθησαν. Και διεφημισθη ο λογος ουτος παρα τοις Ιουδαιοις μεχρι της σημερον.	15 So they took the money and carried out their instructions, and to this day that is the story among theJews.
16 Οι δε ενδεκα μαθηται υπηγον εις την Γαλιλαιαν, εις το ορος οπου παρηγγειλεν εις αυτους ο Ιησους.	16 Meanwhile the eleven disciples set out for Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had arranged tomeet them.
17 Και ιδοντες αυτον προσεκυνησαν αυτον, τινες δε εδιστασαν.	17 When they saw him they fell down before him, though some hesitated.
18 Και προσελθων ο Ιησους, ελαλησε προς αυτους, λεγων? Εδοθη εις εμε πασα εξουσια εν ουρανω και επι γης.	18 Jesus came up and spoke to them. He said, 'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given tome.
19 Πορευθεντες λοιπον μαθητευσατε παντα τα εθνη, βαπτιζοντες αυτους εις το ονομα του Πατρος και του Υιου και του Αγιου Πνευματος,	19 Go, therefore, make disciples of al nations; baptise them in the name of the Father and of the Sonand of the Holy Spirit,
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.	20 and teach them to observe al the commands I gave you. And look, I am with you always; yes, to theend of time.'
