Matthew 28:5a
Answering, the angel told the women . . .
Apokritheis de ho anggelos eipen tais gunaiksin:

Matthew 27:62
Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation,
Tehi de epaurion hehtis estin meta tehn Paraskeuehn

the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,
sunehchthehsan hoi archiereis kai hoi Farisaioi
63
saying, Sir, we remember
pros Pilaton, legontes: Kurie, emnehsthehmen

that that deceiver said while he was yet alive,
hoti ekeinos ho planos eipen eti dzohn:

(the) third day I wil rise again.
meta treis hehmeras egeiromai.
64
Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure
Keleuson oun asphalisthehnai ton tafon

for as long as it is the third day
heohs tehs tritehs hehmeras

lest his disciples come by night,
mehpote elthontes hoi mathehtai nuktos

and steal him away and say unto the people,

he was raised from the dead;
ehgertheh apo tohn nekrohn kai

so the last error shall be worse than the first.

Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch :
Epheh autois ho Pilatos: Echete koustohdian!

go your way, make it as sure as ye can.
Hupagete asphalisthase hohs oidate!

As it (the end of the Sabbath) began to dawn
tehi epifohskousehi

toward the first day of the week,
eis Mian sabbatohn

set out Mary Magdalene and the other Mary
ehlthen heh Mariam heh Magdaleneh kai heh alleh Maria

to see the sepulchre.
theohrehsai ton tafon
2
And behold, there was a great earthquake:
kai idou seismos egeneto megas

for the angel of the Lord descending from heaven,
anggelos gar Kuriou katabas eks ouranou

came and rolled back the stone (from the door)
kai proselthohn apekulisen ton lithon [apo tehs thuras]

and sat upon it.
kai ekathehto epanoh autou.
3
His countenance was like lightning,
Ehn de heh eidea autou hohs estrapeh

Tehi de Miai tohn sabbatohn,

cometh Mary when yet early dark it was,
Maria heh Magdaleneh erchetai proh-i skotias eti ousehs

unto the sepulchre and seeth the stone
eis to mnehmeion kai blepei ton lithon

taken away from the sepulchre,
ek tou mnehmeiou.
2
Then she runneth
Trechei oun

and cometh to Simon Peter and to the other disciple,
kai erchetai pros Simohna Petron kai pros ton allon mathehtehn

whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them,
hon ephilei ho Iehsous, kai legei autois:

They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre
Ehran ton Kurion ek tou mnehmeiou

And we know not where they have laid him.
kai ouk oidamen pou ethehkan auton.

Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple,
Eksehlthen oun ho Petros kai ho allos mathehtehs

and came to the sepulchre.
kai ehrchonto eis to mnehmeion ...
6b
Then cometh Simon Peter and went into the sepulchre.
Kai (Petros) eisehlthen eis to mnehmeion.
8
Then went in also that other disciple
Tote oun eisehlthen kai ho allos mathehtehs

... and he saw and believed that as yet they knew not
... kai eiden kai episteusen oudepoh gar ehideisan

the Scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.

6. The Empty Tomb

Luke 24:1
Now upon the First Day of the week,
Tehi de Miai tohn sabbatohn

VERY EARLY IN THE MORNING
orthrou batheohs
Luke 23:55
they came unto the sepulchre ... and certain others with them,
epi to mnehma ehlthon (hai duo gunaikis) (kai tines sun autais)

bringing the spices which they had prepared.
pherousai ha hehtoimasan arohmata.
Luke 24:2
And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
Heuron de ton lithon apokekulismenon apo tou mnehmeiou.
3
And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
eiselthousai de, oux heuron to sohma tou Kuriou Iehsou.
4
And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout,
Kai egeneto en tohi aporeisthai autas peri toutohn:

behold, two men stood
kai idou, andres duo epestehsan

by them in shining garments.
autais en esthehti astraptousehi.
5
As they were afraid
Emphobohn de genomenohn autohn

and bowed down their faces to the earth,
kai klinousohn ta prosohpa eis tehn gehn,
they said unto them,
eipan pros autas:

Why seek ye The Living among the dead?
Ti dzehteite ton Dzohnta meta to nekrohn?
6
He is not here, but was raised: remember
Ouk estin hohde alla ehgertheh: mnehsthehte

how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, saying,
hohs elalehsen hehmin eti ohn en tehi Galilaiai, legohn,
7
The Son of man must be delivered and be crucified
Ton Uion tou Anthrohpou hote dei paradothehnai

into the hands of sinful men
eis cheiras anthrohpohn hamartohlohn

and the third day rise again.
kai staurohthehnai kai tehi tritehi hehmerai anastehnai.
8
And they remembered his words
kai emnehsthehsan tohn rhehmatohn autou.
9
and returned from the sepulchre and told
kai hupostrepsasai apo tou mnehmeiou apehngeilan

all these things unto the eleven and to all the rest.
tauta panta tois hendeka kai pasan tois loipois.

Luke 24:13,19,22
Two of them ... said unto him, Certain women of our company
Duo eks autohn ... eipan autohi: Gunaikes tines eks hehmohn

which were early at the sepulchre ... astonished us,
genomenai orthrinai epi to mnehmeion ... eksestehsan hehmas,
23
and not finding his body, they came, saying that
kai meh heurousai to sohma autou ehlthon, legousai

they had also seen a vision of angels
kai optasian angelohn heohrakenai
who said that he was alive.
hoi legousin auton dzehn.

Luke 24:10
It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna
Ehsan de heh Magdalehneh Maria kai Iohanna

and Mary of James and other women with them
kai Maria heh Iakohbou kai hai loipai sun autais

which told these things unto the disciples.
elegon pros tous apostolous tauta.
11
And their words seemed to them as
Kai ephanehsan enohpion autohn hohsei

idle tales, and they believed them not.
lehpos ta rehmata tauta, kai ehpistoun autais. [Cf. Mark 16:8.]
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

 

7. Peter has another look

Luke 24:24
And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre
Kai apehlthon tines tohn sun hehmin epi ta mnehmeion

and found it even so as the women had said:
kai heuron houtohs kathohs kai hai gunaikes eipon:

but him they saw not.
auton de ouk eidon.
24:12
Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre;
Ho de Petros anastas edramen epi to mnehmeion

and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves,
kai parakupsas blepei ta othonia keimena mona,

and departed, wondering in himself
Kai apehlthen pros auton heauthaumadzohn

at that which was come to pass.
to gegonos.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

 

8. Women return to “see again”

Mark 16:2
And very early in the morning the First Day of the week
Kai lian proh-i tehi Miai tohn sabbatohn

they came upon the sepulchre
erchontai epi to mnehma

at the rising of the sun.
anateilantos tou hehliou.
3
And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away
Kai elegon pros heautas, Tis apokulisei hehmin ·

the stone from the door of the sepulchre?!
ton lithon ek tehs thuras tou mnehmeiou?!
4
And when they looked again, they saw that
Kai anablepsasai theohrousin, hoti,

the stone was cast away uphill :
anakekulistai ho lithos

despite it was very great.
ehn gar megas sfodra.
5
Again entering into the sepulchre, they saw
Kai eiselthousai eis to mnehmeion eidon

a young man sitting on the right side,
neaniskon kathehmenon en tois deksiois

clothed in a long white garment
peribeblehmenon stolehn leukehn

And they were frightened.
Kai eksethambehsehsan.
6
And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted :
Ho de legei autais· Meh ekthambeisthe!

Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth which was crucified :
Iehsoun dzehteite ton Nadzarehnon ton estaurohmenon.

He was raised [is risen]; he is not here :
Ehgertheh, ouk estin hohde;

Behold the place where they laid him.
ide ho topos hopou ethehkan auton!
7
But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter
Alla hupagete eipate tois mathehtais autou kai tohi Petrohi

that he goeth before you into Galilee :
hoti proagei humas eis to Galilaian.

there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.
Ekei auton opsesthe kathohs eipen humin.
8
And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre;
Kai ekselthousai ephugon apo tou mnehmeiou,

for they trembled and were amazed :
eichen gar autas tromos kai ekstasis.

neither said they anything to any(one);
Kai oudeni ouden eipan,

for they were afraid.
ephobounto gar.

 

9. FIRST APPEARANCE

John 20:11
But Mary had had stood after at the sepulchre without
Maria de heistehkei pros tohi mnehmeiohi eksoh

weeping; and as she wept, she stooped down into the spulchre
klaiousa; hohs de eklaien parekupsen eis to mnehmeion
12
and seeth two angels in white sitting,
kai theohrei duo angelous en leukois kathedzomenous,

the one at the head, and the other at the feet
hena pros tehi kephalehi kai hena pros tois posin

where the body of Jesus had lain.
hopou ekeito to sohma tou Iehsou.
13
And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou?
Kai legousin autehi ekeinoi: Gunai, ti klaieis?

She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord,
Legei autois, hoti ehran ton Kurion mou,

and I know not where they have laid him.
kai ouk oida pou ethehkan auton.
14
And when she had thus said, she turned herself back,
Tauta epousa estrapheh eis ta opisoh

and saw Jesus standing,
kai theohrei ton Iehsoun hestohta,

and knew not that it was Jesus.
kai ouk ehidei hoti Iehsous estin.

15
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou?
Legei autehi ho Jehsous: Ginai, ti klaieis?

Whom seekest thou? She supposing him to be the gardener,
Tina dzehteis?Ekeineh dokousa hoti ho kehpouros estin,

saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence,
legei autohi: Kurie, ei su ebastasas auton,

tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him.
eipe moi pou ethehkas auton, kagoh auton aroh.
16
Jesus saith unto her, Mary!
Legei autehi Jehsous: Mariam!

She turned herself, and saith unto him,
Strapheisa ekeineh, legei autohi Hebraisti:

Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
Rabbouni (ho legetai didaskale).
17
Jesus saith unto her, Don’t stay here by me;
Legei autehi Iehsous: Meh mou haptou,

for I am not yet ascended to my Father:
oupoh gar anabebehka pros ton Patera.

But go to my brethren, and say unto them,
Poreuou de pros tous adelphous mou, kai eipe autois:

I ascend unto my Father, and your Father;
Anabainoh pros ton Patera mou kai Patera humohn

and to my God, and your God.
kai Theon mou kai Theon humohn.
Mark 16:9

Thus, risen,
Anastas de

Jesus early the First Day of the week
proh-i Prohtehi sabbatou

appeared first to Mary Magdalene.
ephaneh prohton Mariai tehi Magdalehnehi.

John 20:18
Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples
Erchetai Mariam heh Magdalehneh anggelousa tois mathehtais

that she had seen the Lord,
hoti: Heohraka ton Kurion;

and that he had spoken these things unto her.
kai tauta eipen autehi.

Mark 16:10
And she went and told them
Ekeineh poreutheisa apehngeilen tois

that had been with him, as they mourned and wept.
met’ autou genomenois, penthousi kai klaiousin.

And they, when they had heard that he was alive
Kakeinoi akousantes hoti dzei

and had been seen of her, believed not.
kai etheatheh hup’ autehs ehpistehsan kai ouk episteusen autehi.
.
.
.

 

10. SECOND APPEARANCE

Mary Magdalene therefore was not with them when the other women together with Joanna and Mary of James had gone to the sepulchre again where . . .

Matthew 28:5a
. . . answered the angel the women and explained to them...
. . . apokritheis de ho anggelos eipen tais gunaiksin . . .

Fear not ye:
Meh phobeisthe humeis:

for I know that ye seek Jesus which was crucified.
Oida gar hoti Iehsoun ton estaurohmenon dzehteite.
6
He is not here because he was raised as he said.
Ouk estin hohde; ehgertheh gar kathohs eipen.

Come in! See the place where the Lord lay.
Deute idete ton topon hopou ekeito.
7
Indeed rather, Go quickly and tell his disciples
Kai tachu poreutheisai eipate tois mathehtais autou

that he was raised and is risen from the dead!
hoti ehgertheh apo tohn nekrohn.

And behold, he goeth before you into Galilee;
Kai idou proagei humas eis tehn Galilaian;

there will you see him.
ekei auton opsesthe.

Behold, I command you!
Idou eipon humin!
8
And they departed quickly from the sepulchre
Kai apelthousai tachu apo tou mnehmeiou

with fear and great joy
meta phobou kai charas megalehs

and did run to bring his disciples word.
edramon apangeilai tois mathehtois autou.
9
And as they went to tell his disciples,
Hohs de eporeuonto appangeilai tois mathehtais autou,

behold, Jesus met them, saying,
Kai idou Iehsous hupehntehsen autais

Hail, joy!
legohn: Chairete!

And they came and held him by the feet
Hai de proselthousai ekratehsan autou tous podas

and worshipped him.
kai prosekunehsan autohi.
10
Then said Jesus unto them,
Tote legei autais ho Iehsous:

Be not afraid : Go!
Meh phobeisthe : Hupagete!

Tell my brethren
Appangeilate tois adelphois mou

that they go into Galilee; there will they find me.
hina apelthohsin eis tehn Galilaian, kakei me opsontai.
