28:1  The Sabbath day was now over. It was dawn on the first day of the week. Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.
28:2  There was a powerful earthquake. An angel of the Lord came down from heaven. The angel went to the tomb. He rolled back the stone and sat on it.
28:3  His body shone like lightning. His clothes were as white as snow.
28:4  The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.
28:5  The angel said to the women, “Don’t be afraid. I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.
28:6  He is not here! He has risen, just as he said he would! Come and see the place where he was lying.
28:7  Go quickly! Tell his disciples, ‘He has risen from the dead. He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”
28:8  So the women hurried away from the tomb. They were afraid, but they were filled with joy. They ran to tell the disciples.
28:9  Suddenly Jesus met them. “Greetings!” he said. They came to him, took hold of his feet and worshiped him.
28:10  Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Go and tell my brothers 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. They reported to the chief priests all that had happened.
28:12  When the chief priests met with the elders, they came up with a plan. They gave the soldiers a large amount of money.
28:13  They told the soldiers, “We want you to say, ‘His disciples came during the night. They stole his body while we were sleeping.’
28:14  If the governor hears this report, we will pay him off. That will keep you out of trouble.”
28:15  So the soldiers took the money and did as they were told. This story has spread all around among the Jews to this day.
28:16  Then the 11 disciples went to Galilee. They went to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go.
28:17  When they saw him, they worshiped him. But some still had their doubts.
28:18  Then Jesus came to them. He said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
28:19  So you must go and make disciples of all nations. Baptize them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
28:20  Teach them to obey everything I have commanded you. And you can be sure that I am always with you, to the very end.”
