28:1  After the Sabbaths, around dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to take a look at the burial site.
28:2  Suddenly, there was a powerful earthquake, because an angel of the Lord had come down from heaven, approached the stone, rolled it away, and was sitting on top of it.
28:3  His appearance was bright as lightning, and his clothes were white as snow.
28:4  Trembling from fear, even the guards themselves became catatonic.
28:5  Responding to the women, the angel said, "Stop being frightened! I know you're looking for Jesus, who was crucified.
28:6  He is not here. He has been raised, just as he said. Come and see the place where he was lying.
28:7  Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead. He is going ahead of you into Galilee, and you will see him there. Remember, I have told you!"
28:8  So they quickly left the tomb, terrified but also ecstatic, and ran to tell Jesus' disciples.
28:9  Suddenly, Jesus met them and said, "Greetings!" They went up to him, took hold of his feet, and worshipped him.
28:10  Then Jesus told them, "Stop being frightened! Go and tell my brothers to leave for Galilee, and they will see me there."
28:11  While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and told the high priests everything that had happened.
28:12  So they met with the elders and agreed on a plan to give the soldiers a large amount of money.
28:13  They said, "Say that Jesus' disciples came at night and stole him while you were sleeping.
28:14  If this is reported to the governor, we'll personally persuade him to keep you out of trouble."
28:15  So the soldiers took the money, did as they were instructed, and this story has been spread among the Jews to this day.
28:16  The eleven disciples went into Galilee to the hillside to which Jesus had directed them.
28:17  When they saw him, they worshipped him, though some had doubts.
28:18  Then Jesus approached them and told them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
28:19  Therefore, as you go, disciple people in all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit,
28:20  teaching them to obey everything that I've commanded you. And remember, I am with you each and every day until the end of the age."
