Matthew 28

CHAPTER 28
1But in the eventide of the sabbath, [or holiday], that beginneth to shine in the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene came, and another Mary, to see the sepulchre.
2And lo! there was made a great earth-shaking; for the angel of the Lord came down from heaven, and nighed, and turned away the stone, and sat thereon.
3And his looking was as lightning, and his clothes [white] as snow;
4and for dread of him the keepers were afeared, and they were made as dead men.
5But the angel answered, and said to the women, Do not ye dread, for I know that ye seek Jesus, that was crucified;
6he is not here, for he is risen, as he said; come ye, and see ye the place, where the Lord was laid.
7And go ye soon, and say ye to his disciples, that he is risen. And lo! he shall go before you into Galilee; there ye shall see him. Lo! I have before-said to you.
8And they went out soon from the burials [or the sepulchre], with dread, and great joy, running to tell to his disciples.
9And lo! Jesus met them, and said, Hail ye. And they nighed, and held his feet, and worshipped him.
10Then Jesus said to them, Do not ye dread; go ye, tell ye to my brethren, that they go into Galilee; there they shall see me.
11And when they were gone, lo! some of the keepers came into the city, and told to the princes of priests all things that were done.
12And when they were gathered together with the elder men, and had taken their counsel, they gave to the knights much money,
13and said, Say ye, that his disciples came by night, and have stolen him, while ye slept.
14And if this be heard of the justice [or the president], we shall counsel him, and make you secure.
15And when the money was taken, they did, as they were taught. And this word is published among the Jews, till into this day.
16And the eleven disciples went into Galilee, into an hill, where Jesus had ordained to them.
17And they saw him, and worship-ped; but some of them doubted.
18And Jesus came nigh, and spake to them, and said, All power in heaven and in earth is given to me.
19Therefore go ye, and teach all folks, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost;
20teaching them to keep all things, whatever things I have commanded to you; and lo! I am with you in all days, into the end of the world.

Matthew 28
28
Jesus Is Risen!
1Now after the Sabbath, near dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other #See note 27:61.Mary went to look at the tomb. 2And a great earthquake had occurred, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled away the stone [from the opening of the tomb], and sat on it. 3The angel’s appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were as white as snow. 4The guards shook, paralyzed with fear [at the sight] of him and became like dead men [pale and immobile]. 5But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified. 6He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said [He would]. Come! See the place where He was lying. 7Then go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead; and behold, He is going ahead of you into Galilee [as He promised]. There you will see Him; behold, I have told you.”
8So the women left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy, and ran to tell [the good news to] the disciples. 9And as they went, suddenly, Jesus met them, saying, “Rejoice!” And they went to Him and took hold of His feet [in homage] and worshiped Him [as the Messiah]. 10Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid; go and tell My brothers to leave for Galilee, and there they will see Me [just as I promised].”
11While they were on their way, some of the [Roman] guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had happened. 12And when the chief priests had gathered with the elders and had consulted together [to develop a plan of deception], they gave a sufficient sum of money [as a bribe] to the soldiers, 13and said, “You say this, ‘His disciples came at night and stole Him while we were sleeping.’ 14And if the governor (Pilate) hears about it, we will calm him down and keep you out of trouble.” 15So they took the money [they were paid for lying] and did as they were instructed; and this [fabricated] story was widely spread among the Jews, and is to the present day.
The Great Commission
16Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had designated. 17And when they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted [that it was really He]. 18Jesus came up and said to them, “All authority (all power of absolute rule) in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. 19Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations [help the people to learn of Me, believe in Me, and obey My words], baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always [remaining with you perpetually—regardless of circumstance, and on every occasion], even to the end of the age.”
