Matthew 28

Now after the Sabbath, at the dawning on the first of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to watch the tomb.

And behold, a great earthquake happened, for an angel of the Lord, having come down from heaven and having approached, rolled away the stone and was sitting on it. \*

Now his appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow.

And the ones guarding were shaken from the fear of him and became as dead. \*

But answering, the angel said to the women, “You, do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus, the one having been crucified.

He is not here, for he was raised up, just as he said. Come, see the place where he was lying.

And having gone quickly, say to his disciples, ‘He has been raised up from the dead. And behold, he is going before you to Galilee. There you will see him.’ Behold, I have said {it} to you.” \*

And having quickly gone away from the tomb with fear and great joy, they ran to report {this} to his disciples.

And behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Rejoice!” But they, having approached, seized his feet and worshiped him.

Then Jesus says to them, “Do not be afraid. Go, report {this} to my brothers so that they might go away to Galilee, and there they will see me.” \*

Now they going, behold, some of the guard, having come into the city, reported to the chief priests all the things having happened.

And having been gathered together with the elders, and having taken counsel, they gave many pieces of silver to the soldiers,

saying, “Say, ‘His disciples, having come at night, stole him, we sleeping.’ \*

And if this is heard by the governor, we will persuade and make you free from concern.”

And they, having taken the pieces of silver, did as they were taught. And this word has been reported among the Jews until today. \*

Now the 11 disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had directed them.

And having seen him, they worshiped, but they doubted. \*

And having approached, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “All authority was given to me in heaven and on the earth.

Having gone, therefore, disciple all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit; \*

teaching them to keep everything, as much as I commanded you. And behold, I am with you all the days, until the end of the age.”
