Matthew 28

Jesus Comes Back to Life
(Mark 16:1–8; Luke 24:1–12; John 20:1–10)
1After the day of rest—a holy day, as the sun rose Sunday morning, Mary from Magdala and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.
2Suddenly, there was a powerful earthquake. An angel of the Lord had come down from heaven, rolled the stone away, and was sitting on it. 3He was as bright as lightning, and his clothes were as white as snow. 4The guards were so deathly afraid of him that they shook.
5The angel said to the women, “Don’t be afraid! I know you’re looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6He’s not here. He has been brought back to life as he said. Come, see the place where he was lying. 7Then go quickly, and tell his disciples that he has been brought back to life. He’s going ahead of them into Galilee. There they will see him. Take note that I have told you.”
8They hurried away from the tomb with fear and great joy and ran to tell his disciples.
9Suddenly, Jesus met them and greeted them. They went up to him, bowed down to worship him, and took hold of his feet.
10Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t be afraid! Go, tell my followers to go to Galilee. There they will see me.”
The Guards Report to the Chief Priests
11While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city. They told the chief priests everything that had happened.
12The chief priests gathered together with the leaders and agreed on a plan. They gave the soldiers a large amount of money 13and told them to say that Jesus’ disciples had come at night and had stolen his body while they were sleeping. 14⌞They added,⌟ “If the governor hears about it, we’ll take care of it, and you’ll have nothing to worry about.”
15The soldiers took the money and did as they were told. Their story has been spread among the Jewish people to this day.
Jesus Gives Instructions to the Disciples
16The eleven disciples went to the mountain in Galilee where Jesus had told them to go. 17When they saw him, they bowed down in worship, though some had doubts.
18When Jesus came near, he spoke to them. He said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19So wherever you go, make disciples of all nations: Baptize them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. 20Teach them to do everything I have commanded you.
“And remember that I am always with you until the end of time.”

Mattityahu 28
28
1Now after Shabbos, at the time of Shacharis on Yom Rishon (the first day of the week), Miryam of Magdala and the other Miryam came to look at the kever.
2And hinei! a great earthquake had occurred, for a malach Adonoi (an angel of Hashem) descended from Shomayim and came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it.
3And his appearance was like lightning and his garment as white as snow.
4And the shomrim (guards) shook for fear of him and became like dead men.
5And the malach, in reply, said to the nashim, Do not be afraid, for I know that you are seeking Yehoshua, who has been hanged on HaEtz.
6He is not here. To him has come the Techiyas HaMesim, just as he said. Come, see the place where HaAdon was lying.
7And go quickly, tell his talmidim about the Techiyas HaMoshiach from HaMesim. And, hinei! He is going ahead of you into the Galil. There you will see him. Hinei! I have told you!
8And they departed quickly from the kever with fear and great simcha and ran to report everything to Moshiachʼs talmidim.
9And hinei! Moshiach met them, saying Shalom Aleichem. And they came up and took hold of his feet and fell prostrate before him.
10Then he said to them, Do not be afraid; go and take word to my Achim that they may go away to the Galil, and there they shall see me.
11Now while they were on their way, hinei! Some of the shomrim came into the city and reported to the Rashei Hakohanim all the things that had happened.
12And when they had assembled with the Zekenim and counseled together, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers,
13And said, You are to say, His talmidim came by night and stole him away while we were asleep.
14And if this should come to the Governorʼs ears, we will win him over and keep you out of trouble.
15And the ones who took the kesef did as they had been instructed and this story was widely spread among the Yehudim to this day.
16But the Achad Asar Talmidim proceeded to the Galil, to the mountain which Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach had designated.
17And when they saw him, they prostrated themselves before him, but some were doubtful.
18And he came up and spoke to them, saying, All samchut (authority) has been given to me in Shomayim and on HaAretz.
19Go, therefore, make talmidim for Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach of all the nations, giving them a tevilah in a mikveh mayim in Hashem, in the Name of HaAv, and HaBen, and HaRuach Hakodesh,
20Teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And hinei! I#28:20 Moshiach am with you always, even unto the Ketz HaOlam Hazeh.
