|

|
| 28:4 |
and the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men.
|
| 28:5 |
And the angel answered and said to the women, "Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified.
|
| 28:6 |
"He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying.
|

|
| 28:14 |
"And if this should come to the governor's ears, we will win him over and keep you out of trouble."
|

|
| 28:20 |
teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."
