Matthew 28




1.  In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn * toward the first day of the week, came * Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see * the sepulchre.

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.

3.  His countenance was * like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:

4.  And for fear of him the keepers * did shake * , and became * as dead men.

5.  And the angel answered * and said * unto the women, Fear * not ye: for I know * that ye seek * Jesus, which was crucified * .

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.

8.  And they departed * quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run * to bring * his disciples word * .

9.  And as they went * to tell * his disciples, behold * , Jesus met * them, saying * , All hail * . And they came * and held * him by the feet, and worshipped * him.

10.  Then said * Jesus unto them,Be * not afraid * : go * tell * my brethren that they go * into Galilee, and there shall they see * me.

11.  Now when they were going * , behold * , some of the watch came * into the city, and shewed * unto the chief priests all the things that were done * .

12.  And when they were assembled * with the elders, and had taken * counsel, they gave * large money unto the soldiers,

13.  Saying * , Say ye * , His disciples came * by night, and stole * him away while we slept * .

14.  And if this come to * the governor's ears * , we will persuade * him, and secure * you.

15.  So they took * the money, and did * as they were taught * : and this saying is commonly reported * among the Jews until this day.

16.  Then the eleven disciples went away * into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed * them.

17.  And when they saw * him, they worshipped * him: but some doubted * .

18.  And Jesus came * and spake * unto them, saying * , All power is given * unto me in heaven and in earth.

19.  Go ye * therefore, and teach * all nations, baptizing * them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

20.  Teaching * them to observe * all things whatsoever I have commanded * you: and, lo * , I am * with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
