28:1  After the sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.
28:2  And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, approached, rolled back the stone, and sat upon it.
28:3  His appearance was like lightning and his clothing was white as snow.
28:4  The guards were shaken with fear of him and became like dead men.
28:5  Then the angel said to the women in reply, “Do not be afraid! I know that you are seeking Jesus the crucified.
28:6  He is not here, for he has been raised just as he said. 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 he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him.’ Behold, I have told you.”
28:8  Then they went away quickly from the tomb, fearful yet overjoyed, and ran to announce this to his disciples.
28:9  And behold, Jesus met them on their way and greeted them. They approached, embraced his feet, and did him homage.
28:10  Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me.”
28:11  While they were going, some of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests all that had happened.
28:12  They assembled with the elders and took counsel; then they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers,
28:13  telling them, “You are to say, ‘His disciples came by night and stole him while we were asleep.’
28:14  And if this gets to the ears of the governor, we will satisfy [him] and keep you out of trouble.”
28:15  The soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has circulated among the Jews to the present [day].
28:16  The eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had ordered them.
28:17  When they saw him, they worshiped, but they doubted.
28:18  Then Jesus approached and said to them, “All power 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  teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.”
