The Resurrection
1 # For ver. 1-8, see Mark 16:1-8; Luke 24:1-10; John 20:1 Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and #ch. 27:56, 61the other Mary went to see the tomb. 2And behold, there was a great earthquake, for #[John 20:12]an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3#Dan. 10:6 His appearance was like lightning, and #[Dan. 7:9; Mark 9:3; John 20:12; Acts 1:10]his clothing white as snow. 4And for fear of him the guards trembled and #[Rev. 1:17]became like dead men. 5But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. 6He is not here, for he has risen, #ch. 27:63as he said. Come, see the place where he#28:6 Some manuscripts the Lord lay. 7Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, #ver. 10, 16; ch. 26:32he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. See, I have told you.” 8So they departed quickly from the tomb #[Ps. 2:11]with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. 9And behold, Jesus #[Mark 16:9; John 20:14] met them and said, “Greetings!” And they came up and #2 Kgs. 4:27 took hold of his feet and #ver. 17; Luke 24:52worshiped him. 10Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid; #See John 20:18 go and tell #John 20:17; [Ps. 22:22; Rom. 8:29; Heb. 2:11, 12, 17]my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me.”
The Report of the Guard
11While they were going, behold, some of #ch. 27:65, 66the guard went into the city and told the chief priests all that had taken place. 12And when they had assembled with the elders and taken counsel, they gave a sufficient sum of money to the soldiers 13and said, “Tell people, #[ch. 27:64]‘His disciples came by night and stole him away while we were asleep.’ 14And if this comes to #ch. 27:2 the governor’s ears, we will #See Acts 12:20 (Gk.)satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.” 15So they took the money and did as they were directed. And this story has been spread among the Jews #ch. 27:8to this day.
The Great Commission
16Now the eleven disciples #ver. 7went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. 17And when they saw him they #ver. 9worshiped him, but some doubted. 18And Jesus came and said to them, #ch. 11:27; Dan. 7:13, 14; John 3:35; 13:3; 17:2; Acts 2:36; Rom. 14:9; 1 Cor. 15:27; Eph. 1:10, 20-22; Phil. 2:9, 10; Col. 2:10; Heb. 1:2; 2:8; 1 Pet. 3:22; [ch. 9:6; John 5:27] “All authority #[ch. 6:10; Luke 2:14]in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19#Mark 16:15, 16 Go therefore and #ch. 13:52 make disciples of #Luke 24:47; [ch. 24:14; Mark 11:17; Rom. 1:5] all nations, #Mark 16:15, 16 baptizing them #See Acts 8:16 in#28:19 Or into#[2 Cor. 13:14]the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20teaching them #John 14:15 to observe all that #[Acts 1:2] I have commanded you. And behold, #[ch. 1:23; 18:20; John 12:26; 14:3; 17:24; Acts 18:10] I am with you always, to #See ch. 13:39the end of the age.”

Resurrection
1After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the tomb. 2Look, there was a great earthquake, for an angel from the Lord came down from heaven. Coming to the stone, he rolled it away and sat on it. 3Now his face was like lightning and his clothes as white as snow. 4The guards were so terrified of him that they shook with fear and became like dead men. 5But the angel said to the women, “Don’t be afraid. I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. 6He isn’t here, because he’s been raised from the dead, just as he said. Come, see the place where they laid him. 7Now hurry, go and tell his disciples, ‘He’s been raised from the dead. He’s going on ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there.’ I’ve given the message to you.”
8With great fear and excitement, they hurried away from the tomb and ran to tell his disciples. 9But Jesus met them and greeted them. They came and grabbed his feet and worshipped him. 10Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Go and tell my brothers that I am going into Galilee. They will see me there.”
Guards’ report
11Now as the women were on their way, some of the guards came into the city and told the chief priests everything that had happened. 12They met with the elders and decided to give a large sum of money to the soldiers. 13They told them, “Say that Jesus’ disciples came at night and stole his body while you were sleeping. 14And if the governor hears about this, we will take care of it with him so you will have nothing to worry about.” 15So the soldiers took the money and did as they were told. And this report has spread throughout all Judea to this very day.
Commissioning of the disciples
16Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus told them to go. 17When they saw him, they worshipped him, but some doubted. 18Jesus came near and spoke to them, “I’ve received all authority in heaven and on earth. 19Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20teaching them to obey everything that I’ve commanded you. Look, I myself will be with you every day until the end of this present age.”
