Matthew 28

1 And◦ in the twilight of the Sabbaths, as it dawned toward◦ the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, to behold the tomb.
2 And behold◦, there was◦ a great earthquake; for◦ the angel of the Lord, descending from◦ heaven and coming, rolled·​·away the stone from the door, and sat on it.
3 And◦ his countenance was as lightning, and his clothing white as snow;
4 and◦ for▫ fear of him the keepers did shake◦, and became as dead◦.
5 And◦ the angel answering said◦ to the women, Fear ye not◦; 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 going quickly, say◦ to His disciples that He is risen from the dead◦; and behold◦, He goes·​·before you into Galilee; there you shall see Him; behold◦, I have told you.
8 And going·​·out▵ quickly from the sepulcher with fear and great joy, they ran to report this to His disciples.
9 And◦ as they went to report to His disciples, behold◦, Jesus met them, saying, Hail. And◦ coming, they took·​·hold of His feet, and worshiped Him.
10 Then Jesus says to them, Fear not◦; go▵, report to My brothers, that◦ they go◦ into Galilee, and·​·there shall they see Me.
11 And◦ as they were going, behold◦, some of the guard◦, coming into the city, reported to the chief·​·priests all things that were·​·done◦.
12 And being gathered together with the elders, and▵ taking counsel, they gave considerable silver to the soldiers,
13 saying, Say◦ ye that His disciples, coming by night, stole Him while we slumbered.
14 And if this shall be heard by the governor, we will persuade him, and will make you safe1.
15 And◦ they, receiving the silver, did as they were taught; and this word was made·​·public among◦ the Jews even·​·to◦ this·​·day.
16 And◦ the eleven disciples went into Galilee, into the mountain where Jesus had directed them.
17 And when they saw◦ Him, they worshiped Him; and◦ yet they doubted.
18 And Jesus coming spoke to them, saying, All authority is given to Me in heaven and on earth.
19 Going forth, therefore, make·​·disciples of all nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,
20 teaching them to keep all things whatever▵ I have commanded you; and behold◦, I◦ am with you all the days, even·​·to the consummation of the age. Amen.
