恭讀聖瑪竇福音 28:1-10
安息日一過,一周的第一日,天快亮時,瑪利亞瑪達肋納,和另外一位瑪利亞,來看墳墓。忽然發生了大地震,因為上主的天使從天降來,上前把石頭滾開,坐在上面。他的容貌好像閃電;他的衣服潔白如雪。看守的人由於怕他,嚇得打顫,變得好像死人一樣。
天使對婦女說:「你們不要害怕!我知道你們尋找被釘死的耶穌。他不在這裡,因為他已經照他所說的,復活了。你們來看看安放過他的地方;並且快去告訴他的門徒:他已經由死者中復活了。看!他在你們之先,到加里肋亞去,在那裡,你們要看見他。看!我已經告訴了你們。」
婦女們趕快離開墳墓,又恐懼,又非常喜樂,跑去報告耶穌的門徒。
忽然,耶穌迎面而來,對婦女們說:「願你們平安!」她們於是上前,抱住耶穌的腳,朝拜了他。耶穌對她們說:「不要害怕!你們去,報告我的兄弟,叫他們往加里肋亞去,他們要在那裡看見我。」

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 28:1-10

1 Now after the sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Mag’dalene and the other Mary went to see the sepulchre. 2 And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone, and sat upon it. 3 His appearance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow. 4 And for fear of him the guards trembled and became like dead men. 5 But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid; for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. 6 He is not here; for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. 7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. Lo, I have told you.” 8 So they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. 9 And behold, Jesus met them and said, “Hail!” And they came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped him. 10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid; go and tell my brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see me.”
