< Matthew 28 >
1 After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb.
Now after [the] Sabbaths, it being dawn, toward the first [day] of the weeks, Mary the Magdalene came, and the other Mary, to see the grave,
2 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, rolled away the stone, and sat on it.
and behold, there came a great earthquake, for a messenger of the LORD, having come down out of Heaven, having come, rolled away the stone from the door, and was sitting on it,
3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow.
and his countenance was as lightning, and his clothing white as snow,
4 The guards trembled in fear of him and became like dead men.
and from the fear of him the keepers shook, and they became as dead men.
5 But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.
And the messenger answering said to the women, “Do not fear, for I have known that you seek Jesus who has been crucified;
6 He is not here; He has risen, just as He said! Come, see the place where He lay.
He is not here, for He rose, as He said; come, see the place where the LORD was lying;
7 Then go quickly and tell His disciples, ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see Him.’ See, I have told you.”
and having gone quickly, say to His disciples that He rose from the dead; and behold, He goes before you to Galilee, there you will see Him; behold, I have told you.”
8 So they hurried away from the tomb in fear and great joy, and ran to tell His disciples.
And having gone forth quickly from the tomb, with fear and great joy, they ran to tell His disciples;
9 Suddenly Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” They came to Him, grasped His feet, and worshiped Him.
and as they were going to tell His disciples, then behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Greetings!” And having come near, they laid hold of His feet, and worshiped Him.
10 “Do not be afraid,” said Jesus. “Go and tell My brothers to go to Galilee. There they will see Me.”
Then Jesus says to them, “Do not fear, go away, tell My brothers that they may go away to Galilee, and there they will see Me.”
11 While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests all that had happened.
And while they are going on, behold, certain of the guard having come into the city, reported to the chief priests all the things that happened,
12 And after the chief priests had met with the elders and formed a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money
and having been gathered together with the elders, having also taken counsel, they gave much money to the soldiers,
13 and instructed them: “You are to say, ‘His disciples came by night and stole Him away while we were asleep.’
saying, “Say that His disciples having come by night, stole Him—we being asleep;
14 If this report reaches the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.”
and if this is heard by the governor, we will persuade him, and you keep free from anxiety.”
15 So the guards took the money and did as they were instructed. And this account has been circulated among the Jews to this very day.
And they, having received the money, did as they were taught, and this account was spread abroad among Jews until this day.
16 Meanwhile, the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain Jesus had designated.
And the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus appointed them,
17 When they saw Him, they worshiped Him, but some doubted.
and having seen Him, they worshiped Him, but some wavered.
18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.
And having come near, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “All authority in Heaven and on earth was given to Me;
19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,
having gone, then, disciple all the nations, immersing them into the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,
20 and teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” (aiōn )
teaching them to observe all, whatever I commanded you, and behold, I am with you all the days—until the full end of the age.” (aiōn )
