28:1 Now after Shabbat, as it began to dawn on the first day of the week, Miriam of Magdala and the other Miriam came to look at the tomb.
28:2 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, for an angel of Adonai descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it.
28:3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow.
28:4 And those keeping watch were shaken for fear of him and became like dead men.
28:5 But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know you are looking for Yeshua who was crucified.
28:6 He is not here; for He is risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying.
28:7 Go quickly now and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead. And behold, He’s going before you to the Galilee. There you will see Him. See, I have told you!”
28:8 They quickly left the tomb, with fear yet with great joy, and ran to bring news to His disciples.
28:9 And behold, Yeshua met them. “Shalom!” He said. They drew near, grasped his feet, and worshiped Him.
28:10 “Don’t be afraid,” Yeshua said to them. “Go tell My brothers to head for the Galilee, and there they will see Me.”
28:11 Now while they were going, some of the guard came into the city and reported to the ruling kohanim all that had happened.
28:12 And when they had assembled with the elders and consulted together, they gave a large sum of silver to the soldiers,
28:13 saying, “Tell them, ‘His disciples came at night and stole Him away while we were sleeping.’
28:14 And if this is heard by the governor, we’ll appease him and keep you out of trouble.”
28:15 So the soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story was spread among the Judeans to this day.
28:16 Now the eleven disciples went to the Galilee, to the mountain Yeshua had designated.
28:17 When they saw Him, they worshiped; but some wavered.
28:18 And Yeshua came up to them and spoke to them, saying, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.
28:19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, immersing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Ruach ha-Kodesh,
28:20 teaching them to observe all I have commanded you. And remember! I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
