28:1  Now after the Sabbath, near dawn of the first day of the week, Mary of Magdala and the other Mary went to take a look at the tomb.
28:2  And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled the boulder back and sat upon it.
28:3  His appearance was like lightning, and his garments as white as snow.
28:4  And those keeping guard were so frightened at the sight of him that they were agitated and they trembled and became like dead men.
28:5  But the angel said to the women, Do not be alarmed and frightened, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, Who was crucified.
28:6  He is not here; He has risen, as He said [He would do]. Come, see the place where He lay.
28:7  Then go quickly and tell His disciples, He has risen from the dead, and behold, He is going before you to Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you.
28:8  So they left the tomb hastily with fear and great joy and ran to tell the disciples.
28:9  And as they went, behold, Jesus met them and said, Hail (greetings)! And they went up to Him and clasped His feet and worshiped Him.
28:10  Then Jesus said to them, Do not be alarmed and afraid; go and tell My brethren to go into Galilee, and there they will see Me.
28:11  While they were on their way, behold, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had occurred.
28:12  And when they [the chief priests] had gathered with the elders and had consulted together, they gave a sufficient sum of money to the soldiers,
28:13  And said, Tell people, His disciples came at night and stole Him away while we were sleeping.
28:14  And if the governor hears of it, we will appease him and make you safe and free from trouble and care.
28:15  So they took the money and did as they were instructed; and this story has been current among the Jews to the present day.
28:16  Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed and made appointment with them.
28:17  And when they saw Him, they fell down and worshiped Him; but some doubted.
28:18  Jesus approached and, breaking the silence, said to them, All authority (all power of rule) in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.
28:19  Go then and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
28:20  Teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you, and behold, I am with you all the days (perpetually, uniformly, and on every occasion), to the [very] close and consummation of the age. Amen (so let it be).
