Matthew 28 : 1 - 20
Chapter 28
| 1 | Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.
|
| 2 | And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it.
|
| 3 | His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow.
|
| 4 | And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men.
|
| 5 | But the angel answered and said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified.
|
| 6 | He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
|
| 7 | And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you."
|
| 8 | So they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word.
|
| 9 | And as they went to tell His disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, "Rejoice!" So they came and held Him by the feet and worshiped Him.
|
| 10 | Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid. Go and tell My brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see Me."
|
| 11 | Now while they were going, behold, some of the guard came into the city and reported to the chief priests all the things that had happened.
|
| 12 | When they had assembled with the elders and consulted together, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers,
|
| 13 | saying, "Tell them, "His disciples came at night and stole Him away while we slept.'
|
| 14 | And if this comes to the governor's ears, we will appease him and make you secure."
|
| 15 | So they took the money and did as they were instructed; and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.
|
| 16 | Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them.
|
| 17 | When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted.
|
| 18 | And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
|
| 19 | Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
|
| 20 | teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.
