Matthew Chapter 28 (ESV)
undefined
Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb.
undefined
And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it.
undefined
His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow.
undefined
And for fear of him the guards trembled and became like dead men.
undefined
But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified.
undefined
He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay.
undefined
Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. See, I have told you.”
undefined
So they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples.
undefined
And behold, Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” And they came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped him.
undefined
Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me.”
undefined
While they were going, behold, some of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests all that had taken place.
undefined
And when they had assembled with the elders and taken counsel, they gave a sufficient sum of money to the soldiers
undefined
and said, “Tell people, ‘His disciples came by night and stole him away while we were asleep.’
undefined
And if this comes to the governor's ears, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.”
undefined
So they took the money and did as they were directed. And this story has been spread among the Jews to this day.
undefined
Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them.
undefined
And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted.
undefined
And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
undefined
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
undefined
teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
