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 Rises from the Dead
1The day after the Sabbath day was the first day of the week. At dawn on the first day, Mary Magdalene and another woman named Mary went to look at the tomb.
2At that time there was a strong earthquake. An angel of the Lord came down from heaven, went to the tomb, and rolled the stone away from the entrance. Then he sat on the stone. 3He was shining as bright as lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. 4The soldiers guarding the tomb shook with fear because of the angel, and they became like dead men.
5The angel said to the women, “Don’t be afraid. I know that you are looking for Jesus, who has been crucified. 6He is not here. He has risen from the dead as he said he would. Come and see the place where his body was. 7And go quickly and tell his followers, ‘Jesus has risen from the dead. He is going into Galilee ahead of you, and you will see him there.’ ” Then the angel said, “Now I have told you.”
8The women left the tomb quickly. They were afraid, but they were also very happy. They ran to tell Jesus’ followers what had happened. 9Suddenly, Jesus met them and said, “Greetings.” The women came up to him, took hold of his feet, and worshiped him. 10Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Go and tell my followers to go on to Galilee, and they will see me there.”
The Soldiers Report to the Leaders
11While the women went to tell Jesus’ followers, some of the soldiers who had been guarding the tomb went into the city to tell the leading priests everything that had happened. 12Then the priests met with the elders and made a plan. They paid the soldiers a large amount of money 13and said to them, “Tell the people that Jesus’ followers came during the night and stole the body while you were asleep. 14If the governor hears about this, we will satisfy him and save you from trouble.” 15So the soldiers kept the money and did as they were told. And that story is still spread among the people even today.
Jesus Talks to His Followers
16The eleven followers went to Galilee to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17On the mountain they saw Jesus and worshiped him, but some of them did not believe it was really Jesus. 18Then Jesus came to them and said, “All power in heaven and on earth is given to me. 19So go and make followers of all people in the world. Baptize them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. 20Teach them to obey everything that I have taught you, and I will be with you always, even until the end of this age.”
