Matthew 28
28
1After Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week,#28:1. This would correspond to the day we identify as Sunday. The text clearly identifies this as “day one,” the day after the Sabbath “the seventh day.” Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. 2All of a sudden there was a tremendous earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and rolled away the stone, and sat on it. 3His face blazed like lightning, and his clothes were as white as snow. 4The guards shook with fear, falling down as if they were dead.
5The angel told the women, “Don't be afraid! I know you're looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6He's not here. He's risen from the dead, just as he said he would. Come and see where the Lord was lying. 7Now go quickly and tell his disciples that he's risen from the dead and that he's going on ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there, I promise you!”
8They quickly left the tomb, both afraid and very happy, running to tell his disciples. 9Suddenly Jesus came to meet them, and greeted them. They went over to him, held on to his feet and worshiped him. 10Then Jesus said to them, “Don't be afraid! Go and tell my brothers to leave for Galilee, and they will see me there.”
11As they left, some of the guards went into the city and explained to the chief priests everything that had happened. 12After the chief priests had met with the elders, and worked out a plan, they bribed the soldiers with a great deal of money.
13“Say that his disciples came during the night and stole him while we were sleeping,” they told the soldiers. 14“And if the governor hears about this, we'll talk to him and you won't have to worry.”
15So the soldiers took the money and did what they were told. This story has been spread among the Jewish people to this very day.
16But the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17When they saw him they worshiped him, though some doubted. 18Jesus came to them and told them, “All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19So go and make disciples of people of all nations, and baptize them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. 20Teach them to follow all the commands I have given you. Remember, I am always with you, to the very end of the world.”

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.
