Matthew 28
28
Jesus Is Risen!
1Now after the Sabbath, near dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other #28:1 See note 27:61.Mary went to look at the tomb. [Mark 16:1-8; Luke 24:1-10, John 20:1-8] 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.”

Matthew 28
1¶ Now well along on the sabbath, as it began to dawn on the first of the sabbaths, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
2And, behold, there was a great earthquake, for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone from the door and sat upon it.
3His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow;
4and for fear of him the guards shook and became as dead men.
5And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye, for I know that ye seek Jesus, who was crucified.
6He is not here, for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
7And go quickly and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goes before you into Galilee; there ye shall see him; behold, I have told you.
8And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy and ran to bring his disciples word.
9And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, Receive joy. And they came and held him by the feet and worshipped him.
10Then Jesus said unto them, Be not afraid; go tell my brothers that they may go into Galilee, and there they shall see me.
11¶ Now when they were going, behold, some of the guard came into the city and reported unto the chief priests all the things that were done.
12And when they were assembled with the elders and had taken counsel, they gave a large amount of money to the soldiers,
13saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night and stole him away while we slept.
14And if this comes to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him and make you secure.
15So they took the money and did as they were taught, and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.
16¶ Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into the mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
17And when they saw him, they worshipped him; but some doubted.
18And Jesus came and spoke unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you; and, behold, I am with you always even unto the end of the age. Amen.
