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.

Jesus is alive
Jesus is alive
(Mark 16.1-8; Luke 24.1-12; John 20.1-10)
1The Sabbath was over, and it was almost daybreak on Sunday when Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. 2Suddenly a strong earthquake struck, and the Lord's angel came down from heaven. He rolled away the stone and sat on it. 3The angel looked as bright as lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. 4The guards shook from fear and fell down, as though they were dead.
5The angel said to the women, “Don't be afraid! I know you are looking for Jesus, who was nailed to a cross. 6He isn't here! God has raised him to life, just as Jesus said he would. Come, see the place where his body was lying. 7Now hurry! Tell his disciples that he has been raised to life and is on his way to Galilee. Go there, and you will see him. That is what I came to tell you.”
8The women were frightened and yet very happy, as they hurried from the tomb and ran to tell his disciples. 9Suddenly Jesus met them and greeted them. They went near him, held on to his feet, and worshipped him. 10Then Jesus said, “Don't be afraid! Tell my followers to go to Galilee. They will see me there.”
Report of the guard
11While the women were on their way, some soldiers who had been guarding the tomb went into the city. They told the chief priests everything that had happened. 12So the chief priests met with the leaders and decided to bribe the soldiers with a lot of money. 13They said to the soldiers, “Tell everyone that Jesus' disciples came during the night and stole his body while you were asleep. 14If the governor#28.14 governor: Pontius Pilate. hears about this, we will talk to him. You won't have anything to worry about.” 15The soldiers took the money and did what they were told. Some of the Jewish people still tell each other this story.
What Jesus' followers must do
(Mark 16.14-18; Luke 24.36-49; John 20.19-23; Acts 1.6-8)
16Jesus' eleven disciples went to a mountain in Galilee, where Jesus had told them to meet him.#Mt 26.32; Mk 14.28. 17They saw him and worshipped him, but some of them doubted.
18Jesus came to them and said:
I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth! 19Go to the people of all nations and make them my disciples. Baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit,#Ac 1.8. 20and teach them to do everything I have told you. I will be with you always, even until the end of the world.
