RKJNT - Matthew - 28

28:1  At the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.

28:2  And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.

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

28:4  And for fear of him the guards shook, and became as dead men.

28:5  And the angel said to the women, Fear not: 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 he 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 departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy; and ran to bring his disciples word.

28:9  And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, Hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.

28:10  Then Jesus said to them, Do not be afraid: go tell my brethren to go into Galilee, and there they shall see me.

28:11  Now when they were going, behold, some of the guards came into the city, and told the chief priests all the things that had happened.

28:12  And when they had assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave much money to the soldiers,

28:13  Saying, Say, 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 satisfy him, and keep you out of trouble.

28:15  So they took the money, and did as they were told: and this story is commonly reported among the Jews to this day.

28:16  Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to a mountain where Jesus had directed them.

28:17  And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.

28:18  And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, All power has been given to me in heaven and on earth.

28:19  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:

28:20  Teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.
