Matthew 28
1 After the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary of Magdala and the other Mary had gone to look at the grave,
Now late on sabbath, as it was the dusk of the next day after sabbath, came Mary of Magdala and the other Mary to look at the sepulchre.
2 when suddenly a great earthquake occurred. For an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled away the stone, and seated himself on it.
And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of [the] Lord, descending out of heaven, came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it.
3 His appearance was as dazzling as lightning, and his clothing was as white as snow;
And his look was as lightning, and his clothing white as snow.
4 and, in their terror of him, the men on guard trembled violently and became like dead men.
And for fear of him the guards trembled and became as dead men.
5 But the angel, addressing the women, said, “You need not be afraid. I know that it is Jesus, who was crucified, for whom you are looking.
And the angel answering said to the women, Fear not ye, for I know that ye seek Jesus the crucified one.
6 He is not here; for he has risen, as he said he would. Come, and see the place where he was lying;
He is not here, for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
7 and then go quickly and say to his disciples ‘He has risen from the dead, and is going before you into Galilee; there you will see him.’ Remember, I have told you.”
And go quickly and say to his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and behold, he goes before you into Galilee, there shall ye see him. Behold, I have told you.
8 They left the tomb quickly, in awe and great joy, and ran to tell the news to the disciples.
And going out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, they ran to bring his disciples word.
9 Suddenly Jesus met them. “Welcome!” he said. The women went up to him, and clasped his feet, bowing to the ground before him. Then Jesus said to them,
And as they went to bring his disciples word, behold also, Jesus met them, saying, Hail! And they coming up took him by the feet, and did him homage.
10 “Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers and sisters to set out for Galilee, and they will see me there.”
Then Jesus says to them, Fear not; go, bring word to my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there they shall see me.
11 While they were still on their way, some of the guard came into the city, and reported to the chief priests everything that had happened.
And as they went, behold, some of the watch went into the city, and brought word to the chief priests of all that had taken place.
12 So they and the elders met and, after holding a consultation, gave a large sum of money to the soldiers,
And having assembled with the elders, and having taken counsel, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers,
13 and told them to say that his disciples came in the night, and stole him while they were asleep;
saying, Say that his disciples coming by night stole him [while] we [were] sleeping.
14 “And should this matter come before the Governor,” they added, “we will satisfy him, and see that you have nothing to fear.”
And if this should come to the hearing of the governor, we will persuade him, and save you from all anxiety.
15 So the soldiers took the money, and did as they were instructed. This story spread widely; the people of Judea still tell it today.
And they took the money and did as they had been taught. And this report is current among the Jews until this day.
16 The eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus told them to meet him;
But the eleven disciples went into Galilee to the mountain which Jesus had appointed them.
17 and, when they saw him, they bowed to the ground before him; although some felt doubtful.
And when they saw him, they did homage to him: but some doubted.
18 Then Jesus came up, and spoke to them, saying, “All authority in heaven and on the earth has been given to me.
And Jesus coming up spoke to them, saying, All power has been given me in heaven and upon earth.
19 Therefore go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit,
Go [therefore] and make disciples of all the nations, baptising them to the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit;
20 and teaching them to lay to heart all the commands that I have given you; and, remember, I myself am with you every day until the close of the age.” (aiōn g165)
teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have enjoined you. And behold, I am with you all the days, until the completion of the age. (aiōn g165)
