Matthew 28
1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn towards the first [day] of the week, came Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary to see the sepulcher.
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,
2 And behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
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 upon it.
3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow.
His appearance was as dazzling as lightning, and his clothing was as white as snow;
4 And for fear of him the keepers trembled and became as dead [men].
and, in their terror of him, the men on guard trembled violently and became like dead men.
5 And the angel answered and said to the women, Fear ye not: for I know that ye seek Jesus, who was crucified.
But the angel, addressing the women, said; “You need not be afraid. I now that it is Jesus, who was crucified, for whom you are looking.
6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples, that he is risen from the dead, and behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.
and then go quickly and say to him disciples ‘He has risen from the dead, and is going before you into Galilee; there you will see him.’ Remember, I have told you.”
8 And they departed quickly from the sepulcher, with fear and great joy; and ran to bring word to his disciples.
On this they left the tomb quickly, in awe and great joy, and ran to tell the news to the disciples.
9 And as they were going to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came, and held him by the feet, and worshiped him.
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:
10 Then said Jesus to them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren, that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.
“Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to set out for Galilee, and they shall see me there.”
11 Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and showed to the chief priests all the things that had been done.
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.
12 And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers,

14 And if this shall come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you.
“And should this matter come before the Governor,” they added, “we will satisfy him, and see that you have nothing to fear.”
15 So they took the money, and did as they were instructed: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.
So the soldiers took the money, and did as they were instructed. And this story has been current among the Jews from that day to this.
16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

19 Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Therefore go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the Faith of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit,
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, [even] to the end of the world. Amen. (aiōn g165)
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)
