28:1  After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to visit the sepulcher.
28:2  And behold, there was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord, descended from heaven, came and rolled back the stone and sat upon it.
28:3  His face shone like lightning, and his garments were as white as snow.
28:4  The guards were so paralyzed with fear of him that they became like dead men.
28:5  But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid! I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified.
28:6  He is not here, for he has been raised, as he promised he would be. Come and see the place where he lay.
28:7  Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has been raised from the dead and now he is going ahead of you to Galilee. There you will see him.’ Behold, I have told you.”
28:8  They were filled with fear and great joy, and they ran from the tomb to inform his disciples.
28:9  And behold, Jesus came to meet them, saying, “Greetings.” They approached him, embraced his feet, and worshiped him.
28:10  Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be fearful. Go and tell my brethren to go to Galilee. There they will see me.”
28:11  While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had happened.
28:12  After the chief priests had conferred with the elders, they presented a large sum of money to the soldiers
28:13  and gave them this order: “Say, ‘His disciples came by night and stole the body while we were asleep.’
28:14  And should the governor hear anything in this regard, we will explain the situation to him and you will be safe.”
28:15  The soldiers took the money and did as they had been instructed. And this story is still circulated among the Jews to this very day.
28:16  Then the eleven disciples set out for Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to meet him.
28:17  When they saw him, they prostrated themselves before him, although some doubted.
28:18  Then Jesus approached them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
28:19  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,
28:20  and teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the world.”
