Matthew 28
1 Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.
Now late on the Sabbath, when the dawn of the first day of the week was near, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the place where his body was.
2 Behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from the sky and came and rolled away the stone from the door and sat on it.
And there was a great earth-shock; for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, rolling back the stone, took his seat on it.
3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow.
His form was shining like the light, and his clothing was white as snow:
4 For fear of him, the guards shook, and became like dead men.
And for fear of him the watchmen were shaking, and became as dead men.
5 The angel answered the women, “Don’t be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus, who has been crucified.
And the angel said to the women, Have no fear: for I see that you are searching for Jesus, who was put to death on the cross.
6 He is not here, for he has risen, just like he said. Come, see the place where the Lord was lying.
He is not here, for he has come to life again, even as he said. Come, see the Lord's resting-place.
7 Go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has risen from the dead, and behold, he goes before you into Galilee; there you will see him.’ Behold, I have told you.”
And go quickly and give his disciples the news that he has come back from the dead, and is going before you into Galilee; there you will see him, as I have said to you.
8 They departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring his disciples word.
And they went away quickly, with fear and great joy, to give his disciples the news.
9 As they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Rejoice!” They came and took hold of his feet, and worshiped him.
And on the way, Jesus came to them, saying, Be glad. And they came and put their hands on his feet, and gave him worship.
10 Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Go tell my brothers that they should go into Galilee, and there they will see me.”
Then said Jesus to them, Have no fear: go and give word to my brothers to go into Galilee, and there they will see me.
11 Now while they were going, behold, some of the guards came into the city and told the chief priests all the things that had happened.
Now, while they were going, some of the watchmen came into the town and gave news to the chief priests of all the things which had taken place.
12 When they were assembled with the elders and had taken counsel, they gave a large amount of silver to the soldiers,
And when they had come together with those in authority, and had made their decision, they gave much money to the watchmen, saying,
13 saying, “Say that his disciples came by night and stole him away while we slept.
Say, His disciples came by night and took him away secretly while we were sleeping.
14 If this comes to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him and make you free of worry.”
And if this comes to the ruler's ears, we will see that he does not make you responsible.
15 So they took the money and did as they were told. This saying was spread abroad among the Jews, and continues until today.
So they took the money, and did as they had been ordered: and this account has been current among the Jews till the present time.
16 But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had sent them.
But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had given them orders to go.
17 When they saw him, they bowed down to him; but some doubted.
And when they saw him they gave him worship: but some were in doubt.
18 Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.
And Jesus came to them and said, All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.
19 Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
Go then, and make disciples of all the nations, giving them baptism in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit:
