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.
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 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 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 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow.
And his aspect was like the lightning; and his raiment white like snow:
4 For fear of him, the guards shook, and became like dead men.
and from fear of him the keepers were astounded, 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 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 has risen, just like he said. Come, see the place where the Lord was lying.
He is not here; for he is risen, as he predicted. Come ye, see the place where our Lord was laid.
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 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 They departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring his disciples word.
And they went quickly from the sepulchre, with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples.
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 lo, Jesus met them, and said to them: Hail, ye. And they came and clasped his feet, and worshipped him.
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 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 while they were going, behold, some of the guards came into the city and told the chief priests all the things that had happened.
And while they were going, some of the guards came into the city, and told the chief priests all that had occurred.
12 When they were assembled with the elders and had taken counsel, they gave a large amount of silver to the soldiers,
And they assembled with the Elders, and held a council; and they gave no little money to the guards,
13 saying, “Say that his disciples came by night and stole him away while we slept.
and said to them: Say ye, that his disciples came and stole him away by night, while we were asleep.
14 If this comes to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him and make you free of worry.”
And if this should be reported before the President, we will pacify him, and cause you not to be troubled.
15 So they took the money and did as they were told. This saying was spread abroad among the Jews, and continues until today.
And they, having received the money, did as they were instructed. And this story is current among the Jews to this day.
16 But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had sent them.
And the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them.
17 When they saw him, they bowed down to him; but some doubted.
And when they beheld him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
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 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 and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in 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 that I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen. (aiōn g165)
