Lectionary

April -20-2025 Easter - Sunday of the Resurrection (Kyomtho)

Matthew 28:1-20

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."

11 While they were going, behold, some of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests all that had taken place.

12 And when they had assembled with the elders and taken counsel, they gave a sum of money to the soldiers

13 and said, "Tell people, `His disciples came by night and stole him away while we were asleep.'

14 And if this comes to the governor's ears, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble."

15 So they took the money and did as they were directed; and this story has been spread among the Jews to this day.

16 Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them.

17 And when they saw him they worshiped him; but some doubted.

18 And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

മത്തായി 28

1 ശബ്ബത്തു കഴിഞ്ഞു ആഴ്ചവട്ടത്തിന്റെ ഒന്നാം ദിവസം വെളുക്കുമ്പോൾ മഗ്ദലക്കാരത്തി മറിയയും മറ്റെ മറിയയും കല്ലറ കാണ്മാൻ ചെന്നു.

2 പെട്ടെന്നു വലിയോരു ഭൂകമ്പം ഉണ്ടായി; കർത്താവിന്റെ ദൂതൻ സ്വർഗ്ഗത്തിൽ നിന്നു ഇറങ്ങിവന്നു, കല്ലു ഉരുട്ടിനീക്കി അതിന്മേൽ ഇരുന്നിരുന്നു.

3 അവന്റെ രൂപം മിന്നലിന്നു ഒത്തതും അവന്റെ ഉടുപ്പു ഹിമം പോലെ വെളുത്തതും ആയിരുന്നു.

4 കാവൽക്കാർ അവനെ കണ്ടു പേടിച്ചു വിറെച്ചു മരിച്ചവരെപ്പോലെ ആയി.

5 ദൂതൻ സ്ത്രീകളോടു: ഭയപ്പെടേണ്ടാ; ക്രൂശിക്കപ്പെട്ട യേശുവിനെ നിങ്ങൾ അന്വേഷിക്കുന്നു എന്നു ഞാൻ അറിയുന്നു;

6 അവൻ ഇവിടെ ഇല്ല; താൻ പറഞ്ഞതുപോലെ ഉയിർത്തെഴുന്നേറ്റു; അവൻ കിടന്ന സ്ഥലം വന്നുകാണ്മിൻ

7 അവൻ മരിച്ചവരുടെ ഇടയിൽനിന്നു ഉയിർത്തെഴുന്നേറ്റു എന്നു വേഗം ചെന്നു അവന്റെ ശിഷ്യന്മാരോടു പറവിൻ; അവൻ നിങ്ങൾക്കു മുമ്പെ ഗലീലെക്കു പോകുന്നു; അവിടെ നിങ്ങൾ അവനെ കാണും; ഞാൻ നിങ്ങളോടു പറഞ്ഞിരിക്കുന്നു എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.

8 അങ്ങനെ അവർ വേഗത്തിൽ ഭയത്തോടും മഹാസന്തോഷത്തോടും കൂടി കല്ലറ വിട്ടു അവന്റെ ശിഷ്യന്മാരോടു അറിയിപ്പാൻ ഓടിപ്പോയി. എന്നാൽ യേശു അവരെ എതിരേറ്റു:

9 “നിങ്ങൾക്കു വന്ദനം” എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു; അവർ അടുത്തുചെന്നു അവന്റെ കാൽ പിടിച്ചു അവനെ നമസ്കരിച്ചു.

10 യേശു അവരോടു: “ഭയപ്പെടേണ്ട; നിങ്ങൾ പോയി എന്റെ സഹോദരന്മാരോടു ഗലീലെക്കു പോകുവാൻ പറവിൻ; അവിടെ അവർ എന്നെ കാണും” എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.

11 അവർ പോകുമ്പോൾ കാവൽക്കൂട്ടത്തിൽ ചിലർ നഗരത്തിൽ ചെന്നു സംഭവിച്ചതു എല്ലാം മഹാപുരോഹിതന്മാരോടു അറിയിച്ചു.

12 അവർ ഒന്നിച്ചുകൂടി മൂപ്പന്മാരുമായി ആലോചനകഴിച്ചിട്ടു പടയാളികൾക്കു വേണ്ടുവോളം പണം കൊടുത്തു;

13 അവന്റെ ശിഷ്യന്മാർ രാത്രിയിൽ വന്നു ഞങ്ങൾ ഉറങ്ങുമ്പോൾ അവനെ കട്ടുകൊണ്ടുപോയി എന്നു പറവിൻ.

14 വസ്തുത നാടുവാഴിയുടെ സന്നിധാനത്തിൽ എത്തി എങ്കിലോ ഞങ്ങൾ അവനെ സമ്മതിപ്പിച്ചു നിങ്ങളെ നിർഭയരാക്കിക്കൊള്ളാം എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.

15 അവർ പണം വാങ്ങി ഉപദേശപ്രകാരം ചെയ്തു; ഈ കഥ ഇന്നുവരെ യെഹൂദന്മാരുടെ ഇടയിൽ പരക്കെ നടപ്പായിരിക്കുന്നു.

16 എന്നാൽ പതിനൊന്നു ശിഷ്യന്മാർ ഗലീലയിൽ യേശു അവരോടു കല്പിച്ചിരുന്ന മലെക്കു പോയി.

17 അവനെ കണ്ടപ്പോൾ അവർ നമസ്കരിച്ചു; ചിലരോ സംശയിച്ചു.

18 യേശു അടുത്തുചെന്നു: “സ്വർഗ്ഗത്തിലും ഭൂമിയിലും സകല അധികാരവും എനിക്കു നല്കപ്പെട്ടിരിക്കുന്നു.

19 ആകയാൽ നിങ്ങൾ പുറപ്പെട്ടു, പിതാവിന്റെയും പുത്രന്റെയും പരിശുദ്ധാത്മാവിന്റെയും നാമത്തിൽ സ്നാനം കഴിപ്പിച്ചും
