< Matthew 28 >

1 And, late in the week, when it was on the point of dawning into the first of the week, came Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, to view the sepulchre.
And on the eve of the sabbaths, at the dawn, toward the first of the sabbaths, came Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, to see the sepulchre,
2 And lo! a great commotion occurred, —for, a messenger of the Lord, descending out of heaven, and coming near, had rolled away the stone, and was sitting upon it.
and lo, there came a great earthquake, for a messenger of the Lord, having come down out of heaven, having come, did roll away the stone from the door, and was sitting upon it,
3 Now his appearance, was, as lightning, and, his clothing, white as snow;
and his countenance was as lightning, and his clothing white as snow,
4 and, for fear of him, they who were keeping watch were thrown into a commotion, and became as dead men.
and from the fear of him did the keepers shake, and they became as dead men.
5 But the messenger, answering, said unto the women—Be not, ye, afraid! For I know that, Jesus the crucified, ye are seeking:
And the messenger answering said to the women, 'Fear not ye, for I have known that Jesus, who hath been crucified, ye seek;
6 He is not here, for he hath arisen, 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 And, quickly going, tell his disciples—He hath arisen from the dead, and lo! he is going before you into Galilee; —There, shall ye yourselves see him: Lo! I have told you.
and having gone quickly, say ye to his disciples, that he rose from the dead; and lo, he doth go before you to Galilee, there ye shall see him; lo, I have told you.'
8 And, departing quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, they ran to bring tidings unto his disciples.
And having gone forth quickly from the tomb, with fear and great joy, they ran to tell to his disciples;
9 And lo! Jesus, met them, saying—Joy to you! And, they, going forward, held his feet, and worshipped him.
and as they were going to tell to his disciples, then lo, Jesus met them, saying, 'Hail!' and they having come near, laid hold of his feet, and did bow to him.
10 Then, Jesus saith unto them—Be not afraid! Go your way, bear tidings unto my brethren, that they may depart into Galilee; and, there, shall they themselves see me.
Then saith Jesus to them, 'Fear ye not, go away, tell to my brethren that they may go away to Galilee, and there they shall see me.'
11 Now as they were, going, lo! certain of the guard, went into the city and reported unto the High-priests all the things that had come to pass;
And while they are going on, lo, certain of the watch having come to the city, told to the chief priests all the things that happened,
12 and, being gathered together with the Elders and taking counsel, sufficient pieces of silver, gave they unto the soldiers, —
and having been gathered together with the elders, counsel also having taken, they gave much money to the soldiers,
13 saying—Say ye, His disciples, coming, by night, stole him, while we were sleeping;
saying, 'Say ye, that his disciples having come by night, stole him — we being asleep;
14 And, if this be reported unto the governor, we, will persuade him, and will make, you, free from care.
and if this be heard by the governor, we will persuade him, and you keep free from anxiety.'
15 And, they, taking the pieces of silver, did as they were instructed. And this account was spread abroad among the Jews…until this [very] day.
And they, having received the money, did as they were taught, and this account was spread abroad among Jews till this day.
16 And, the eleven disciples, went into Galilee, unto the mountain which, Jesus, had appointed them;
And the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mount where Jesus appointed them,
17 and, seeing him, they worshipped, but, some, doubted.
and having seen him, they bowed to him, but some did waver.
18 And Jesus, coming near, spake unto them, saying—All authority, in heaven and on earth, hath been given unto me;
And having come near, Jesus spake to them, saying, 'Given to me was all authority in heaven and on earth;
19 Go ye, therefore, and disciple all the nations, Immersing them into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, —
having gone, then, disciple all the nations, (baptizing them — to the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I myself have commanded you, And lo! I, am, with you, all the days, until the conclusion of the age. (aiōn g165)
teaching them to observe all, whatever I did command you, ) and lo, I am with you all the days — till the full end of the age.' (aiōn g165)
