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.
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.
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.
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.
3 Now his appearance, was, as lightning, and, his clothing, white as snow;
His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow.
4 and, for fear of him, they who were keeping watch were thrown into a commotion, and became as dead men.
For fear of him, the guards shook, and became like 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:
The angel answered the women, “Don’t be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus, who has been 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 has risen, just like he said. Come, see the place where the Lord was lying.
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.
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.”
8 And, departing quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, they ran to bring tidings unto his disciples.
They departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring his disciples word.
9 And lo! Jesus, met them, saying—Joy to you! And, they, going forward, held his feet, and worshipped him.
As they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Rejoice!” They came and took hold of his feet, and worshiped 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, “Don’t be afraid. Go tell my brothers that they should 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;
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.
12 and, being gathered together with the Elders and taking counsel, sufficient pieces of silver, gave they unto the soldiers, —
When they were assembled with the elders and had taken counsel, they gave a large amount of silver to the soldiers,
13 saying—Say ye, His disciples, coming, by night, stole him, while we were sleeping;
saying, “Say that his disciples came by night and stole him away while we slept.
14 And, if this be reported unto the governor, we, will persuade him, and will make, you, free from care.
If this comes to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him and make you free of worry.”
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.
So they took the money and did as they were told. This saying was spread abroad among the Jews, and continues until today.
