Chapter 28

1


 

  Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.  

 

 

-

2


 

  Behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from the sky, and came and rolled away the stone from the door, and sat on it.  

 

 

-

3


 

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

 

 

-

4


 

  For fear of him, the guards shook, and became like dead men.  

 

 

-

5


 

  The angel answered the women, 'Don't be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus, who has been crucified.  

 

 

-

6


 

  He is not here, for he has risen, just like he said. Come, see the place where the Lord was lying.  

 

 

-

7


 

  Go quickly and tell his disciples, 'He has risen from the dead, and behold, he goes before you into Galilee; there you will see him.' Behold, I have told you.'  

 

 

-

8


 

  They departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring his disciples word.  

 

 

-

9


 

  As they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, 'Rejoice!' They came and took hold of his feet, and worshiped him.  

 

 

-

10


 

  Then Jesus said to them, 'Don't be afraid. Go tell my brothers that they may go into Galilee, and there they will see me.'  

 

 

-

11


 

  Now while they were going, behold, some of the guards came into the city, and told the chief priests all the things that had happened.  

 

 

-

12


 

  When they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave a large amount of silver to the soldiers,  

 

 

-

13


 

  saying, 'Say that his disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.  

 

 

-

14


 

  If this comes to the governor's ears, we will persuade him and make you free of worry.'  

 

 

-

15


 

  So they took the money and did as they were told. This saying was spread abroad among the Jews, and continues until this day.  

 

 

-

16


 

  But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had sent them.  

 

 

-

17


 

  When they saw him, they bowed down to him, but some doubted.  

 

 

-

18


 

  Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, 'All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.  

 

 

-

19


 

  Go, and make disciples of all 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 which I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.' Amen.
