Matthew 28

Jesus Is Risen!

1 ^aNow after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, ^bMary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the tomb. 2 And behold, a severe earthquake had occurred, for ^can angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled away ^dthe stone, and sat upon it. 3 And ^ehis appearance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. 4 The guards shook from fear of him and became like dead men. 5 And the angel said to the women, “ ^{▼▼Or Stop being afraid
,} ^gDo not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified. 6 He is not here, for He has risen, ^hjust as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying. 7 And go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead; and behold, He is going ahead of you ⁱto Galilee. There you will see Him; behold, I have told you.”

8 And they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy, and ran to report to His disciples. 9 And behold, Jesus met them ^{▼▼Lit saying}and said, “ ^{▼▼Or Greetings}Rejoice!” And they came up and took hold of His feet, and worshiped Him. 10 Then Jesus *said to them, “ ^{▼▼Or Stop being afraid
,} ^mDo not be afraid; go, bring word to ⁿMy brothers to leave ^ofor Galilee, and there they will see Me.”

11 Now while they were on their way, some of ^pthe men from the guard came into the city and reported to the chief priests all that had happened. 12 And when they had assembled with the elders and consulted together, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers, 13 and said, “You are to say, ‘His disciples came at night and stole Him while we were asleep.’ 14 And if this comes to ^qthe governor’s ears, we will appease him and ^{▼▼Lit make you free from care}keep you out of trouble.” 15 And they took the money and did as they had been instructed; and this story was widely ^sspread among the Jews and is ^tto this day.

The Great Commission

16 But the eleven disciples proceeded ^uto Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had designated to them. 17 And when they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but ^vsome ^{▼▼Or hesitated}were doubtful. 18 And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “ ^xAll authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. 19 ^{▼▼Or Having gone (Gr aorist part.)
,} ^zGo, therefore, and ^aamake disciples of ^aball the nations, ^acbaptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to ^{▼▼Or keep}follow all that I commanded you; and behold, ^aeI am with you ^{▼▼Lit all the days}always, to ^agthe end of the age.”
