# Chapter 28
|
|
1. Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb.
|
|
2. And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it.
|
|
3. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow.
|
|
4. And for fear of him the guards trembled and became like dead men.
|
|
5. But the angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified.
|
|
6. He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay.
|
|
7. Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. See, I have told you."
|
|
8. So they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples.
|
|
9. And behold, Jesus met them and said, *"Greetings!"* And they came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped him.
|
|
10. Then Jesus said to them, *"Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me."*

The Report of the Guard
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. While they were going, behold, some of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests all that had taken place.
|
|
12. And when they had assembled with the elders and taken counsel, they gave a sufficient sum of money to the soldiers
|
|
13. and said, "Tell people, 'His disciples came by night and stole him away while we were asleep.'
|
|
14. And if this comes to the governor's ears, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble."
|
|
15. So they took the money and did as they were directed. And this story has been spread among the Jews to this day.

|
The Great Commission
|
|
|
|
|
|
16. Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them.
|
|
17. And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted.
|
|
18. And Jesus came and said to them, *"All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.*
|
|
19. Go therefore and make disciples of 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 commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."
