Matthew - Chapter 28 | New King James Version

  • 1. Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came 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 from the door, {cf2super [164]} and sat on it.
  • 3. His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow.
  • 4. And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men.
  • 5. But the angel answered and 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 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 indeed He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you."
  • 8. So they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word.
  • 9. And as they went to tell His disciples, {cf2super [165]} behold, Jesus met them, saying, "Rejoice!" So they came and held Him by the feet and worshiped Him.
  • 10. Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid. Go and tell My brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see Me."
  • 11. Now while they were going, behold, some of the guard came into the city and reported to the chief priests all the things that had happened.
  • 12. When they had assembled with the elders and consulted together, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers,
  • 13. saying, "Tell them, 'His disciples came at night and stole Him away while we slept.'
  • 14. And if this comes to the governor's ears, we will appease him and make you secure."
  • 15. So they took the money and did as they were instructed; and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.
  • 16. Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them.
  • 17. When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted.
  • 18. And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
  • 19. Go therefore {cf2super [166]} and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
  • 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." Amen. {cf2super [167]}
