Matthew 28
28
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 he has been raised to life and is on his way to Galilee. Go there, and you will see him. This 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 worshiped 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. The people of Judea 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)
16 #
Mt 26.32; Mk 14.28. Jesus' eleven disciples went to a mountain in Galilee, where Jesus had told them to meet him. 17They saw him and worshiped him, but some of them doubted.
18Jesus came to them and said:
I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth! 19#Ac 1.8. Go 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, 20and teach them to do everything I have told you. I will be with you always, even until the end of the world.

Mattityahu (Mat) 28
28
1After Shabbat, as the next day was dawning, Miryam of Magdala and the other Miryam went to see the grave. 2Suddenly there was a violent earthquake, for an angel of Adonai came down from heaven, rolled away the stone and sat on it. 3His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were as white as snow. 4The guards were so terrified at him that they trembled and became like dead men. 5But the angel said to the women, “Don’t be afraid. I know you are looking for Yeshua, who was executed on the stake. 6He is not here, because he has been raised — just as he said! Come and look at the place where he lay. 7Then go quickly and tell the talmidim, ‘He has been raised from the dead, and now he is going to the Galil ahead of you. You will see him there.’ Now I have told you.”
8So they left the tomb quickly, frightened yet filled with joy; and they ran to give the news to his talmidim. 9Suddenly Yeshua met them and said, “Shalom!” They came up and took hold of his feet as they fell down in front of him. 10Then Yeshua said to them, “Don’t be afraid! Go and tell my brothers to go to the Galil, and they will see me there.”
11As they were going, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the head cohanim everything that had happened. 12Then they met with the elders; and after discussing the matter, they gave the soldiers a sizeable sum of money 13and said to them, “Tell people, ‘His talmidim came during the night and stole his body while we were sleeping.’ 14If the governor hears of it, we will put things right with him and keep you from getting in trouble.” 15The soldiers took the money and did as they were told, and this story has been spread about by Judeans till this very day.
16So the eleven talmidim went to the hill in the Galil where Yeshua had told them to go. 17When they saw him, they prostrated themselves before him; but some hesitated. 18Yeshua came and talked with them. He said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Therefore, go and make people from all nations into talmidim, immersing them into the reality of the Father, the Son and the Ruach HaKodesh, 20and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember! I will be with you always, yes, even until the end of the age.”
