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 Has Risen
1After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.
2There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. 4The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.
5The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. 7Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”
8So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. 9Suddenly Jesus met them. “Greetings,” he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him. 10Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.”
The Guards’ Report
11While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had happened. 12When the chief priests had met with the elders and devised a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money, 13telling them, “You are to say, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep.’ 14If this report gets to the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.” 15So the soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has been widely circulated among the Jews to this very day.
The Great Commission
16Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
