譯本參照AFV  A  Faithful Version 的希臘文 2009版本

11. And as they were going, behold, some of the guard went into the city and reported to the chief priests all the things that were done.

12. Then, after gathering together with the elders and taking counsel, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers,

13. Saying, “Tell everyone that His disciples came by night and stole Him while you were sleeping.

14. And if the governor hears of this, we will persuade him to release you from responsibility.”

15. And they took the money and did as they were instructed; and this report has been spread abroad among the Jews to this day.

16. Now the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them to meet Him.

17. And when they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted.

18. And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.

19. Therefore, go and make disciples in all nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit;

20. Teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you. And lo, I am with you always, even until the completion of the age.” Amen.

 (A Faithful Version)

11. 二位婦女離去之後。有守墳的人，進城，把事件發生的始末，儘告訴祭司長。

12. 祭司長連長老等人，為此聚集商議，商訂給衛士大筆報酬，

13. 吩咐：你們對大眾說，耶穌的使徒夜半到來，趁著打盹 (take  a  nap)的時候偷走了遺體。

14. 若總督聽了這個解釋，我們也會勸說這不是你們的過失。

15. 衛士收了錢，照吩咐辦事。這傳言就在猶太人當中傳開，直到今日。

16. 當十一個使徒收到了消息，便照吩咐前往加利利去，到了耶穌與他們約定的山崗

17. 眾人看見耶穌，就俯伏於他，當中有人依舊存疑。

18. 耶穌對人說以下的一番話：天上地下所有的權柄都賜給我了。

19. 所以，你們要去，使萬民作我的使徒，奉父、子、聖靈的名給他們施行水禮。

20. 凡我所吩咐你們的，都教導他們遵守。我就常與你們同在，直到世界的末了。 阿們！

翻譯這段馬太的描述，要回到總督之前的決定，他金盆洗手，就表示不會參與猶太人對耶穌要採取任何的行動的決定，明哲保身置之事外。當時就不再參與只讓官兵履行押送的職責。

至於守墳這事參與，也有三種可能性：1. 猶太人領導自己承擔這一切；2.全交給押送的官兵協助；3.二者共同負責。

按照不信任別人的人性習慣，第三種情況出現的可能性最高。

按上面採納的共同行事原則看這段描述，首先是被派去協助官兵守墳的猶太人，是負有報訊的責任。收買官兵作證，是增更信用度以及可以推卸責任的方法。這是今日一般避拍開責任的手法極度一致。

耶穌復活，按馬太的記叙，是他的經歷，相信沒有想到有一天被收錄，成了聖經的一部份。因此，沒有弄虛作假的必要。這書信被留存，是 [神] 蹟。

這使命，是對11位使徒，跟隨耶穌三年 (約數，因為有人長有人短)，每個人都接收到這樣的吩咐，那是每個使徒都有耶和華被差派去作見證的使命，也有能力去為人施行水禮的權利。它本身就有一種意象：先峰約翰影像，為將來承擔使命的人，用水禮為他們作使命承擔的印證。

水禮，不單是儀式，裡面有同釘同死同復活，不就是耶穌的一生？是秉有以身作則，以具體生活的見證為一生的準則，揭示可謂 [神] 兒子的身份，將來就與耶穌一起，一右一左。馬太的領受有體會有深度。完。
