< Matthew 28 >

1 And, late in the week, when it was on the point of dawning into the first of the week, came Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, to view the sepulchre.
And in the close evening of the sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, came Mary of Magdala and the other Mary, to view the sepulchre.
2 And lo! a great commotion occurred, —for, a messenger of the Lord, descending out of heaven, and coming near, had rolled away the stone, and was sitting upon it.
And lo, there was a great earthquake: for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled away the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
3 Now his appearance, was, as lightning, and, his clothing, white as snow;
And his aspect was like the lightning; and his raiment white like snow:
4 and, for fear of him, they who were keeping watch were thrown into a commotion, and became as dead men.
and from fear of him the keepers were astounded, and became as dead men.
5 But the messenger, answering, said unto the women—Be not, ye, afraid! For I know that, Jesus the crucified, ye are seeking:
And the angel answered, and said to the women: Be not ye afraid, for I know that ye seek Jesus who was crucified.
6 He is not here, for he hath arisen, as he said. Come! see the place where he lay;
He is not here; for he is risen, as he predicted. Come ye, see the place where our Lord was laid.
7 And, quickly going, tell his disciples—He hath arisen from the dead, and lo! he is going before you into Galilee; —There, shall ye yourselves see him: Lo! I have told you.
And then go quickly, tell his disciples, that he is risen from the dead; and lo, he precedeth you to Galilee; there will ye see him. Behold, I have told you.
8 And, departing quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, they ran to bring tidings unto his disciples.
And they went quickly from the sepulchre, with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples.
9 And lo! Jesus, met them, saying—Joy to you! And, they, going forward, held his feet, and worshipped him.
And lo, Jesus met them, and said to them: Hail, ye. And they came and clasped his feet, and worshipped him.
10 Then, Jesus saith unto them—Be not afraid! Go your way, bear tidings unto my brethren, that they may depart into Galilee; and, there, shall they themselves see me.
Then Jesus said to them: Be not afraid; but go, tell my brethren, that they go into Galilee, and there they will see me.
11 Now as they were, going, lo! certain of the guard, went into the city and reported unto the High-priests all the things that had come to pass;
And while they were going, some of the guards came into the city, and told the chief priests all that had occurred.
12 and, being gathered together with the Elders and taking counsel, sufficient pieces of silver, gave they unto the soldiers, —
And they assembled with the Elders, and held a council; and they gave no little money to the guards,
13 saying—Say ye, His disciples, coming, by night, stole him, while we were sleeping;
and said to them: Say ye, that his disciples came and stole him away by night, while we were asleep.
14 And, if this be reported unto the governor, we, will persuade him, and will make, you, free from care.
And if this should be reported before the President, we will pacify him, and cause you not to be troubled.
15 And, they, taking the pieces of silver, did as they were instructed. And this account was spread abroad among the Jews…until this [very] day.
And they, having received the money, did as they were instructed. And this story is current among the Jews to this day.
16 And, the eleven disciples, went into Galilee, unto the mountain which, Jesus, had appointed them;
And the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them.
17 and, seeing him, they worshipped, but, some, doubted.
And when they beheld him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
18 And Jesus, coming near, spake unto them, saying—All authority, in heaven and on earth, hath been given unto me;
And Jesus came near, and discoursed with them, and said to them: All authority is given to me, in heaven and on earth. And as my Father sent me, so also I send you.
19 Go ye, therefore, and disciple all the nations, Immersing them into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, —
Go ye, therefore, and instruct all nations; and baptize them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I myself have commanded you, And lo! I, am, with you, all the days, until the conclusion of the age. (aiōn g165)
And teach them to observe all that I have commanded you. And, behold, I am with you always, unto the consummation of the worlds Amen. Completion of the Holy Gospel as published by Matthew; and which he published in Hebrew, in the land of the Palestineans. (aiōn g165)
