28:1  After the Sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb.
28:2  And suddenly there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord, descending from heaven, came and rolled back the stone and sat on it.
28:3  His appearance was like lightning and his clothing white as snow.
28:4  For fear of him the guards shook and became like dead men.
28:5  But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified.
28:6  He is not here, for he has been raised, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay.
28:7  Then go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has been raised from the dead, and indeed he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him.’ This is my message for you.”
28:8  So they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy and ran to tell his disciples.
28:9  Suddenly Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” And they came to him, took hold of his feet, and worshiped him.
28:10  Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers and sisters to go to Galilee; there they will see me.”
28:11  While they were going, some of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests everything that had happened.
28:12  After the priests had assembled with the elders, they devised a plan to give a large sum of money to the soldiers,
28:13  telling them, “You must say, ‘His disciples came by night and stole him away while we were asleep.’
28:14  If this comes to the governor’s ears, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.”
28:15  So they took the money and did as they were directed. And this story is still told among the Judeans to this day.
28:16  Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them.
28:17  When they saw him, they worshiped him, but they doubted.
28:18  And Jesus came and said to them, “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 obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
