Matthew - Chapter 28 | English Standard Version

  • 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, {cf6 "Greetings!"} And they came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped him.
  • 10. Then Jesus said to them, {cf6 "Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me."}
  • 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.
  • 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, {cf6 "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.}
  • 19. {cf6 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. {cf6 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."}
