Matthew 28
28
The Son Is Risen!
1Now after Shabbat, as it began to dawn on the first day of the week, Miriam of Magdala and the other Miriam came to look at the tomb.
2And suddenly there was a great earthquake, for an angel of Adonai descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it.
3His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow.
4And those keeping watch were shaken for fear of him and became like dead men.
5But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know you are looking for Yeshua who was crucified.
6He is not here; for He is risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying.
7Go quickly now and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead. And behold, He’s going before you to the Galilee. There you will see Him. See, I have told you!”
8They quickly left the tomb, with fear yet with great joy, and ran to bring news to His disciples.
The Good News Cannot Be Hidden
9And behold, Yeshua met them. “Shalom!” He said. They drew near, grasped his feet, and worshiped Him.
10“Don’t be afraid,” Yeshua said to them. “Go tell My brothers to head for the Galilee, and there they will see Me.”
11Now while they were going, some of the guard came into the city and reported to the ruling kohanim all that had happened.
12And when they had assembled with the elders and consulted together, they gave a large sum of silver to the soldiers,
13saying, “Tell them, ‘His disciples came at night and stole Him away while we were sleeping.’
14And if this is heard by the governor, we’ll appease him and keep you out of trouble.”
15So the soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story was spread among the Judeans to this day.
Authority to Make Disciples Everywhere
16Now the eleven disciples went to the Galilee, to the mountain Yeshua had designated.
17When they saw Him, they worshiped; but some wavered.
18And Yeshua came up to them and spoke to them, saying, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.
19Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, immersing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Ruach ha-Kodesh,
20teaching them to observe all I have commanded you. And remember! I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

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.”
