Воскресение Христа

о прошествии субботы случилось великое землетрясение, ибо ангел Господень сошел с небес и отвалил камень от входа в гробницу. Вид ангела был подобен молнии, и одежда его была белой, как снег. Стерегущие пещеру воины в страхе пали на землю и стали как мертвые. Придя в себя, они пошли в город и рассказали первосвященникам обо всем происшедшем. Собрав совет со старейшинами, первосвященники дали воинам много денег со словами: «Скажите, что ученики Его, придя ночью, украли Его, пока мы спали. А если слух о происшедшем дойдет до правителя, мы уговорим его не наказывать вас». Воины, взяв деньги, пошли и поступили так, как их научили первосвященники.

В тот же день рано утром Мария Магдалина, Мария – мать Иакова и Иосии и Саломия пошли в сад, где была гробница, чтобы помазать благовониями тело Иисуса. Они говорили между собою: «Кто отвалит нам камень от входа в пещеру?» Подойдя ближе, женщины с удивлением обнаружили, что камень отвален, а он был очень большой. Войдя в пещеру, они увидели ангела, облаченного в белые одежды, и ужаснулись. Но ангел сказал им: «Не бойтесь! Ибо знаю, вы ищете Иисуса распятого. Его нет здесь – Он воскрес, как и сказал вам. Вот место, где был положен Господь. Пойдите скорее скажите ученикам Его, что Он воскрес из мертвых и ждет их в Галилее».

И, выйдя из пещеры, женщины со страхом и великой радостью побежали возвестить ученикам о воскресении Христа.

fter the Sabbath… there was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men. When they came to themselves they went into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had happened. When the chief priests had met with the elders and devised a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money, telling them, “You are to say, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep.’ If this report gets to the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.” So the soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed.

That same day, very early in the morning, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome went to the garden where Jesus was buried, to anoint his body. On their way there, they asked each other, “Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?” But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.

The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him. Now I have told you.”

So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples that Jesus had risen!
