MKJV - Matthew - 28

28:1  But late in the week, at the dawning into the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.

28:2  And behold, a great earthquake occurred! For coming down from Heaven, and coming up, an angel of the Lord rolled back the stone from the door and was sitting on it.

28:3  His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow.

28:4  And the keepers shook for fear of him and became like dead men.

28:5  And the angel answered and said to the women, Do not fear, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified.

28:6  He is not here, for He has risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

28:7  And go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead. And, behold, He goes before you into Galilee. There you shall see Him. Lo, I have told you.

28:8  And they quickly departed from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word.

28:9  But as they were going to report to His disciples, behold, Jesus also met them, saying, Hail! And they came and held Him by the feet and worshiped Him.

28:10  Then Jesus said to them, Do not be afraid; go tell My brothers that they should go into Galilee, and there they will see Me.

28:11  And as they were going, behold, some of the guard came into the city and declared all the things that were done to the chief priests.

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 by night and stole Him away while we slept.

28:14  And if this comes to the governor's ears, we will persuade him and make you free from care.

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

28:16  And the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

28:17  And when they saw Him, they worshiped Him. But some doubted.

28:18  And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, All authority is given to Me in Heaven and in earth.

28:19  Therefore go and teach all nations, baptizing them in 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 end of the world.
