Matthew 28
28
1 NOW AFTER the Sabbath, near dawn of the first day of the week, Mary of Magdala and the other Mary went to take a look at the tomb.
2 And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled the boulder back and sat upon it.
3 His appearance was like lightning, and his garments as white as snow.
4 And those keeping guard were so frightened at the sight of him that they were agitated and they trembled and became like dead men.
5 But the angel said to the women, Do not be alarmed and frightened, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, Who was crucified.
6 He is not here; He has risen, as He said [He would do]. Come, see the place where He lay.
7 Then go quickly and tell His disciples, He has risen from the dead, and behold, He is going before you to Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you.
8 So they left the tomb hastily with fear and great joy and ran to tell the disciples.
9 And as they went, behold, Jesus met them and said, Hail (greetings)! And they went up to Him and clasped His feet and worshiped Him.
10 Then Jesus said to them, Do not be alarmed and afraid; go and tell My brethren to go into Galilee, and there they will see Me.
11 While they were on their way, behold, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had occurred.
12 And when they [the chief priests] had gathered with the elders and had consulted together, they gave a sufficient sum of money to the soldiers,
13 And said, Tell people, His disciples came at night and stole Him away while we were sleeping.
14 And if the governor hears of it, we will appease him and make you safe and free from trouble and care.
15 So they took the money and did as they were instructed; and this story has been current among the Jews to the present day.
16 Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed and made appointment with them.
17 And when they saw Him, they fell down and worshiped Him; but some doubted.
18 Jesus approached and, breaking the silence, said to them, All authority (all power of rule) in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.
19 Go then and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20 Teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you, and behold, I am with you all the days (perpetually, uniformly, and on every occasion), to the [very] close and consummation of the age. Amen (so let it be).

Matthew 28
28
Resurrection Morning
1After the Sabbath, # Mk 16:1-8; Lk 24:1-10; Jn 20:1-8 as the first day of the week was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to view the tomb. 2Suddenly there was a violent earthquake, because an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and approached the tomb. He rolled back the stone and was sitting on it. # Lk 24:4; Jn 20:12 3His appearance was like lightning, and his robe was as white as snow. # Dn 7:9; 10:6; Mk 9:3; Jn 20:12; Ac 1:10 4The guards were so shaken from fear of him that they became like dead men.
5But the angel told the women, “Don’t be afraid, because I know you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. # Mt 14:27; 28:10; Rv 1:17 6He is not here! For He has been resurrected, just as He said. Come and see the place where He lay. # Mt 12:40; 16:21; 27:63 7Then go quickly and tell His disciples, # Mt 10:1; 26:56; Mk 3:7; 16:20; Lk 6:13; Jn 12:16 ‘He has been raised from the dead. In fact, He is going ahead of you to Galilee; you will see Him there.’ Listen, I have told you.” # Mt 26:32; Mk 16:7
8So, departing quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, they ran to tell His disciples the news. 9Just then # Other mss add as they were on their way to tell the news to His disciples Jesus met them and said, “Good morning! ” They came up, took hold of His feet, and worshiped Him. # Mk 16:9; Jn 20:14 10Then Jesus told them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell My brothers to leave for Galilee, and they will see Me there.” # Jn 20:17; Rm 8:29; Heb 2:11-12,17
The Soldiers Are Bribed to Lie
11As they were on their way, some of the guards came into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had happened. 12After the priests # Lit After they had assembled with the elders and agreed on a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money 13and told them, “Say this, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole Him while we were sleeping.’ 14If this reaches the governor’s ears, # Lit this is heard by the governor we will deal with # Lit will persuade him and keep you out of trouble.” # Mt 27:2; Ac 12:20 15So they took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has been spread among Jewish people to this day. # Mt 9:31; 27:8; Mk 1:45
The Great Commission
16The 11 disciples traveled to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had directed them. # Mt 26:32; 28:7 17When they saw Him, they worshiped, # Other mss add Him but some doubted. 18Then Jesus came near and said to them, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. # Dn 7:13-14; Jn 17:2; Rm 14:9; Eph 1:20-22; Php 2:9-10; Col 2:10; 1Pt 3:22 19Go, therefore, and make disciples # Mt 10:42; 28:19; Lk 14:26; Jn 8:31; 13:35; 15:8; Ac 6:1 of # Or and disciple ; lit and instruct all nations, # Mk 16:15; Lk 24:47 baptizing # Ac 2:38; 8:16 them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, # Lit look I am with you always, # Lit all the days to the end of the age.” # Mt 13:39; 18:20; Ac 1:2; 2:42; 18:10
