LITV - Matthew - 28

28:1  But after the sabbaths, at the dawning of the first of the sabbaths, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the grave.

28:2  And, behold! A great earthquake occurred! For descending from Heaven and coming near, an angel of the Lord rolled away the stone from the door and was sitting on it.

28:3  And his face was as lightning and his clothing white as snow.

28:4  And those keeping guard were shaken from the fear of him, and they became as dead.

28:5  But answering, the angel said to the women, You must not fear, for I know that you seek Jesus who has been crucified.

28:6  He is not here, for He was raised, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord was lying.

28:7  And going quickly say to His disciples that He was raised from the dead. And behold! He goes before you into Galilee. You will see Him there. Behold! I told you.

28:8  And going away from the tomb quickly, with fear and great joy, they ran to report to His disciples.

28:9  But as they were going to report to His disciples, behold, Jesus also met them, saying, Hail! And coming near, they seized His feet and worshiped Him.

28:10  Then Jesus said to them, Do not fear. Go tell your brothers that they may go into Galilee, and there they will see Me.

28:11  And they, having gone, behold, some of the guard coming into the city reported to the chief priests all things that occurred.

28:12  And being assembled with the elders, and taking counsel, they gave enough silver to the soldiers,

28:13  saying, Say that his disciples came and stole him by night, we being asleep.

28:14  And if this is heard by the governor, we will persuade him and will make you free from anxiety.

28:15  And taking the silver, they did as they were taught. And this report was spread by the Jews until today.

28:16  But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mount where Jesus appointed them.

28:17  And seeing Him, they worshiped Him. But they doubted.

28:18  And coming up Jesus talked with them, saying, All authority in Heaven and on earth was given to Me.

28:19  Going, then, disciple all nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

28:20  teaching them to observe all things, whatever I commanded you. And, behold, I am with you all the days until the completion of the age. Amen.
