Matthew 28
1 Now on the morning of the Sabbath, when it began to grow light on the first Sabbath, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the sepulcher.
ⲁ̅ⲣⲟⲩϩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ ⲉϩⲧⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲛⲥⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲡⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ. ⲁⲥⲉⲓ ⲛϭⲓⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲧⲙⲁⲅⲇⲁⲗⲏⲛⲏ ⲙⲛⲧⲕⲉⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲧⲁⲫⲟⲥ.
2 And behold, a great earthquake occurred. For an Angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and as he approached, he rolled back the stone and sat down on it.
ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲓⲥϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲉⲓⲥⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲕⲙⲧⲟ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ. ⲡⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ϩⲛⲧⲡⲉ ⲁϥϯⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲁϥⲥⲕⲟⲣⲕⲣ ⲙⲡⲱⲛⲉ. ⲁϥϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲱϥ.
3 Now his appearance was like lightning, and his vestment was like snow.
ⲅ̅ⲡⲉϥⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲟ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲉϥⲣⲏϭⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉϥϩⲃⲥⲱ ⲛⲉⲥⲟⲩⲟⲃϣ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲭⲓⲱⲛ.
4 Then, out of fear of him, the guards were terrified, and they became like dead men.
ⲇ̅ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲇⲉ ϩⲛⲧⲉϥϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲛⲟⲉⲓⲛ ⲛϭⲓⲛⲉⲧϩⲁⲣⲉϩ. ⲁⲩϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ.
5 Then the Angel responded by saying to the women: “Do not be afraid. For I know that you are seeking Jesus, who was crucified.
ⲉ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓⲡⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲛⲉϩⲓⲟⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲙⲡⲣⲣϩⲟⲧⲉ. ϯⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲁⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲥxⲟ̅ⲩ̅ ⲙⲙⲟϥ.
6 He is not here. For he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where the Lord was placed.
ⲋ̅ⲛϥⲙⲡⲉⲓⲙⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲁϥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ. ⲁⲙⲏⲓⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϥⲛϩⲏⲧϥ.
7 And then, go quickly, and tell his disciples that he has risen. And behold, he will precede you to Galilee. There you shall see him. Lo, I have told you beforehand.”
ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲃⲱⲕ ϩⲛⲟⲩϭⲉⲡⲏ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁϥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲓⲥϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ϥⲛⲁⲣϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲉⲧⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲁⲓⲁ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϩⲙⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ. ⲉⲓⲥϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲁⲓϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ.
8 And they went out of the tomb quickly, with fear and in great joy, running to announce it to his disciples.
ⲏ̅ⲁⲩⲃⲱⲕ ϩⲛⲟⲩϭⲉⲡⲏ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙⲡⲉⲙϩⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲡⲱⲧ ϩⲛⲟⲩϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲙⲛⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲉϫⲓⲡⲟⲩⲱ ⲛⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲥ.
9 And behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Hail.” But they drew near and took hold of his feet, and they adored him.
ⲑ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲓⲥϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲉⲓⲥⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁϥⲧⲱⲙⲛⲧ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲭⲁⲓⲣⲁⲓⲧⲉ. ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩϯⲡⲉⲩⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲁⲩⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲛⲛⲉϥⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ ⲛⲁϥ.
10 Then Jesus said to them: “Do not be afraid. Go, announce it to my brothers, so that they may go to Galilee. There they shall see me.”
ⲓ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲣⲣϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲃⲱⲕ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛϫⲓⲡⲟⲩⲱ ⲛⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲁⲓⲁ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲛⲁⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ ϩⲙⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ.
11 And when they had departed, behold, some of the guards went into the city, and they reported to the leaders of the priests all that had happened.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩⲃⲏⲕ ⲉⲓⲥϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲧⲕⲟⲩⲥⲧⲱⲇⲓⲁ ⲁⲩⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲁⲩϫⲓⲡⲟⲩⲱ ⲛⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ.
12 And gathering together with the elders, having taken counsel, they gave an abundant sum of money to the soldiers,
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲥⲱⲟⲩϩ ⲇⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲛⲉⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ. ⲁⲩϫⲓ ⲛⲟⲩϣⲟϫⲛⲉ ⲁⲩϯ ⲛϩⲛⲛⲟϭ ⲛϩⲟⲙⲛⲧ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲧⲟⲓ
13 saying: “Say that his disciples arrived at night and stole him away, while we were sleeping.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁϫⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲩϣⲏ ⲁⲩϥⲓⲧϥ ⲛϫⲓⲟⲩⲉ ⲉⲛⲛⲕⲟⲧⲕ.
14 And if the procurator hears about this, we will persuade him, and we will protect you.”
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩϣⲁⲛⲥⲉⲧⲙⲡⲁⲓ ⲛϭⲓⲡϩⲏⲅⲉⲙⲱⲛ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲧⲛⲛⲁⲡⲉⲓⲑⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲧⲛⲣⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲛⲁⲧⲣⲟⲟⲩϣ.
15 Then, having accepted the money, they did as they were instructed. And this word has been spread among the Jews, even to this day.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩϫⲓ ⲛⲛϩⲟⲙⲛⲧ ⲁⲩⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲩϯⲥⲃⲱ ⲛⲁⲩ. ⲡⲉⲓϣⲁϫⲉ ⲁϥϯⲥⲟⲉⲓⲧ ϩⲛⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ϣⲁⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲡⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ.
16 Now the eleven disciples went on to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲡⲙⲛⲧⲟⲩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲁⲩⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲁⲓⲁ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲡⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅.
17 And, seeing him, they worshipped him, but certain ones doubted.

18 And Jesus, drawing near, spoke to them, saying: “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲁϥϯⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁϥϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲁⲩϯ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲛⲧⲡⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲓϫⲙⲡⲕⲁϩ.
19 Therefore, go forth and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

20 teaching them to observe all that I have ever commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, even to the consummation of the age.” (aiōn g165)
