< Matthew 28 >

1 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,
ⲁ̅ⲣⲟⲩϩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ ⲉϩⲧⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲛⲥⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲡⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ ⲁⲥⲉⲓ ⲛϭⲓ ⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲧⲙⲁⲅⲇⲁⲗⲏⲛⲏ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲕⲉⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲧⲁⲫⲟⲥ
2 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,
ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲓⲥ ϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲉⲓⲥ ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲕⲙⲧⲟ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲉ ⲁϥϯ ⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲁϥⲥⲕⲟⲣⲕⲣ ⲙⲡⲱⲛⲉ ⲁϥϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲱϥ
3 and his countenance was as lightning, and his clothing white as snow,
ⲅ̅ⲡⲉϥⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲟ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲃⲣⲏϭⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉϥϩⲃⲥⲱ ⲛⲉⲥⲟⲩⲟⲃϣ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲭⲓⲱⲛ
4 and from the fear of him did the keepers shake, and they became as dead men.
ⲇ̅ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲇⲉ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉϥϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲛⲟⲉⲓⲛ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲉⲧϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲁⲩϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ
5 And the messenger answering said to the women, 'Fear not ye, for I have known that Jesus, who hath been crucified, ye seek;
ⲉ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲛⲉϩⲓⲟⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲙⲡⲣⲣ ϩⲟⲧⲉ ϯⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲁⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲥⲧⲁⲩⲣⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ
6 he is not here, for he rose, as he said; come, see the place where the Lord was lying;
ⲋ̅ⲛϥⲙⲡⲉⲓⲙⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲁϥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲁⲙⲏⲓⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϥⲛϩⲏⲧϥ
7 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.'
ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲃⲱⲕ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϭⲉⲡⲏ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁϥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲓⲥ ϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ϥⲛⲁⲣϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲉⲧⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲁⲓⲁ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϩⲙ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲓⲥ ϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲁⲓϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ
8 And having gone forth quickly from the tomb, with fear and great joy, they ran to tell to his disciples;
ⲏ̅ⲁⲩⲃⲱⲕ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϭⲉⲡⲏ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲙϩⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲡⲱⲧ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲙⲛⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲉϫⲓⲡⲟⲩⲱ ⲛⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ
9 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.
ⲑ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲓⲥ ϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲉⲓⲏⲥⲓⲥ ⲁϥⲧⲱⲙⲛⲧ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲭⲁⲓⲣⲁⲓⲧⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩϯⲡⲉⲩⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲁⲩⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲛⲛⲉϥⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ ⲛⲁϥ
10 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.'
ⲓ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲣⲣ ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲃⲱⲕ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛϫⲓⲡⲟⲩⲱ ⲛⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲁⲓⲁ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲛⲁⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ ϩⲙ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ
11 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,
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩⲃⲏⲕ ⲉⲓⲥ ϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲧⲕⲟⲩⲥⲧⲱⲇⲓⲁ ⲁⲩⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲁⲩϫⲓⲡⲟⲩⲱ ⲛⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ
12 and having been gathered together with the elders, counsel also having taken, they gave much money to the soldiers,
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲥⲱⲟⲩϩ ⲇⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲛⲉⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲁⲩϫⲓ ⲛⲟⲩϣⲟϫⲛⲉ ⲁⲩϯ ⲛϩⲛⲛⲟϭ ⲛϩⲟⲙⲛⲧ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲧⲟⲓ
13 saying, 'Say ye, that his disciples having come by night, stole him — we being asleep;
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁϫⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲩϣⲏ ⲁⲩϥⲓⲧϥ ⲛϫⲓⲟⲩⲉ ⲉⲛⲛⲕⲟⲧⲕ
14 and if this be heard by the governor, we will persuade him, and you keep free from anxiety.'
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩϣⲁⲛⲥⲉⲧⲙ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡϩⲏⲅⲉⲙⲱⲛ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲧⲛⲛⲁⲡⲉⲓⲑⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲧⲛⲣⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲛⲁⲧⲣⲟⲟⲩϣ
15 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 to Galilee, to the mount where Jesus appointed them,
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲡⲙⲛⲧⲟⲩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲁⲩⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲁⲓⲁ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲡⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲏⲥ
17 and having seen him, they bowed to him, but some did waver.

18 And having come near, Jesus spake to them, saying, 'Given to me was all authority in heaven and on earth;

19 having gone, then, disciple all the nations, (baptizing them — to the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,
