28:1 After the day of worship, as the sun rose Sunday morning, Mary from Magdala and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.
28:2 Suddenly, there was a powerful earthquake. An angel of the Lord had come down from heaven, rolled the stone away, and was sitting on it.
28:3 He was as bright as lightning, and his clothes were as white as snow.
28:4 The guards were so deathly afraid of him that they shook.
28:5 The angel said to the women, “Don’t be afraid! I know you’re looking for Yeshua, who was crucified.
28:6 He’s not here. He has been brought back to life as he said. Come, see the place where he was lying.
28:7 Then go quickly, and tell his disciples that he has been brought back to life. He’s going ahead of them into Galilee. There they will see him. Take note that I have told you.”
28:8 They hurried away from the tomb with fear and great joy and ran to tell his disciples.
28:9 Suddenly, Yeshua met them and greeted them. They went up to him, bowed down to worship him, and took hold of his feet.
28:10 Then Yeshua said to them, “Don’t be afraid! Go, tell my followers 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 told the chief priests everything that had happened.
28:12 The chief priests gathered together with the leaders and agreed on a plan. They gave the soldiers a large amount of money
28:13 and told them to say that Yeshua’s disciples had come at night and had stolen his body while they were sleeping.
28:14 They added, “If the governor hears about it, we’ll take care of it, and you’ll have nothing to worry about.”
28:15 The soldiers took the money and did as they were told. Their story has been spread among the Jewish people to this day.
28:16 The eleven disciples went to the mountain in Galilee where Yeshua had told them to go.
28:17 When they saw him, they bowed down in worship, though some had doubts.
28:18 When Yeshua came near, he spoke to them. He said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
28:19 So wherever you go, 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 do everything I have commanded you. “And remember that I am always with you until the end of time.”
