Matthew 28
28
1And on the eve of the sabbaths, at the dawn, toward the first of the sabbaths, came Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, to see the sepulchre,
2and lo, there came a great earthquake, for a messenger of the Lord, having come down out of heaven, having come, did roll away the stone from the door, and was sitting upon it,
3and his countenance was as lightning, and his clothing white as snow,
4and from the fear of him did the keepers shake, and they became as dead men.
5And the messenger answering said to the women, ‘Fear not ye, for I have known that Jesus, who hath been crucified, ye seek;
6he is not here, for he rose, as he said; come, see the place where the Lord was lying;
7and having gone quickly, say ye to his disciples, that he rose from the dead; and lo, he doth go before you to Galilee, there ye shall see him; lo, I have told you.’
8And having gone forth quickly from the tomb, with fear and great joy, they ran to tell to his disciples;
9and as they were going to tell to his disciples, then lo, Jesus met them, saying, ‘Hail!’ and they having come near, laid hold of his feet, and did bow to him.
10Then saith Jesus to them, ‘Fear ye not, go away, tell to my brethren that they may go away to Galilee, and there they shall see me.’
11And while they are going on, lo, certain of the watch having come to the city, told to the chief priests all the things that happened,
12and having been gathered together with the elders, counsel also having taken, they gave much money to the soldiers,
13saying, ‘Say ye, that his disciples having come by night, stole him — we being asleep;
14and if this be heard by the governor, we will persuade him, and you keep free from anxiety.’
15And they, having received the money, did as they were taught, and this account was spread abroad among Jews till this day.
16And the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mount where Jesus appointed them,
17and having seen him, they bowed to him, but some did waver.
18And having come near, Jesus spake to them, saying, ‘Given to me was all authority in heaven and on earth;
19having gone, then, disciple all the nations, (baptizing them — to the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,
20teaching them to observe all, whatever I did command you,) and lo, I am with you all the days — till the full end of the age.’

News That Jesus Has Risen From Death
(Mk. 16:1–8; Lk. 24:1–12; Jn. 20:1–10)
1The day after the Sabbath day was the first day of the week. That day at dawn Mary Magdalene and the other woman named Mary went to look at the tomb.
2Suddenly an angel of the Lord came from the sky, and there was a huge earthquake. The angel went to the tomb and rolled the stone away from the entrance. Then he sat on top of the stone. 3The angel was shining as bright as lightning. His clothes were as white as snow. 4The soldiers guarding the tomb were very afraid of the angel. They shook with fear and then became like dead men.
5The angel said to the women, “Don’t be afraid. I know you are looking for Jesus, the one who was killed on the cross. 6But he is not here. He has risen from death, as he said he would. Come and see the place where his body was. 7And go quickly and tell his followers, ‘Jesus has risen from death. He is going into Galilee and will be there before you. You will see him there.’” Then the angel said, “Now I have told you.”
8So the women left the tomb quickly. They were afraid, but they were also very happy. They ran to tell his followers what happened. 9Suddenly, Jesus was there in front of them. He said, “Hello!” The women went to him and, holding on to his feet, worshiped him. 10Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Go tell my followers#28:10 followers Literally, “brothers.” to go to Galilee. They will see me there.”
Report to the Jewish Leaders
11The women went to tell the followers. At the same time, some of the soldiers who were guarding the tomb went into the city. They went to tell the leading priests everything that happened. 12Then the priests met with the older Jewish leaders and made a plan. They paid the soldiers a lot of money 13and said to them, “Tell the people that Jesus’ followers came during the night and stole the body while you were sleeping. 14If the governor hears about this, we will talk to him and keep you out of trouble.” 15So the soldiers kept the money and obeyed the priests. And that story is still spread among the Jews even today.
Jesus Talks to His Followers
(Mk. 16:14–18; Lk. 24:36–49; Jn. 20:19–23; Acts 1:6–8)
16The eleven followers went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus told them to go. 17On the mountain the followers saw Jesus. They worshiped him. But some of the followers did not believe that it was really Jesus. 18So he came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth is given to me. 19So go and make followers of all people in the world. Baptize them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. 20Teach them to obey everything that I have told you to do. You can be sure that I will be with you always. I will continue with you until the end of time.”
