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.”

Mattithyahu (Matthew) 28
28
1But late in the sabbath,#Greek: Sabbaths as it was dawning into day one of the week,#Greek: one of the sabbaths. See Explanatory Notes "First Day of the Week" and also Mark 16:2; Luke 24:1; 1 Cor. 16:2 Miryam from Maḡdala and the other Miryam came to see the tomb.
2And see, there was a great earthquake, for a messenger of יהוה came down out of heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it.
3And his appearance was like lightning, and his garments as white as snow.
4And the guards trembled for fear of him, and became like dead men.
5And the messenger responding, said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek יהושע who was impaled.
6“He is not here, for He was raised, as He said. Come, see the place where the Master lay.
7“And go quickly, say to His taught ones that He was raised from the dead, and see, He is going before you to Galil. There you shall see Him. See, I have told you.”
8And they left the tomb quickly, with fear and great joy, and ran to report to His taught ones.
9And as they were going to report to His taught ones, see, יהושע met them, saying, “Greetings!” And they came and held Him by the feet and did bow to Him.
10Then יהושע said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go, report to My brothers, to go to Galil, and they shall see Me there.”
11And while they were going, see, some of the watch having gone into the city, reported to the chief priests all that took place.
12And when they had come together with the elders and taken counsel, they gave enough silver to the soldiers,
13saying, “Say that His taught ones came at night and stole Him away while we slept.
14And if this should be reported to the governor, we shall win him over and keep you out of trouble.
15And having taken the silver they did as they were instructed. And this account was widely spread among the Yehuḏim, to this day.
16And the eleven taught ones went away into Galil, to the mountain which יהושע had appointed for them.
17And when they saw Him, they bowed to Him, but some doubted.
18And יהושע came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
19Therefore, go and make taught ones of all the nations, immersing them in the Name#Note the singular of the Father and of the Son and of the Set-apart Spirit,#Not found in the Hebrew Shem Toḇ text,” ...and make taught ones of all the nations, immersing them in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Set-apart Spirit.”
20teaching them to guard all that I have commanded you. And see, I am with you always, until the end of the age.” Amĕn.
