NASV Matthew 28 Chapter
28:1
Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the grave.
28:2
And behold, a severe earthquake had occurred, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it.
28:3
And his appearance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow.
28:4
The guards shook for fear of him and became like dead men.
28:5
The angel 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.
28:7
"Go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead; and behold, He is going ahead of you into Galilee, there you will see Him; behold, I have told you."
28:8
And they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy and ran to report it to His disciples.
28:9
And behold, Jesus met them and greeted them. And they came up and took hold of His feet and worshiped Him.
28:10
Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid; go and take word to My brethren to leave for Galilee, and there they will see Me."
28:11
Now while they were on their way, some of the guard came into the city and reported to the chief priests all that had happened.
28:12
And when they had assembled with the elders and consulted together, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers,
28:13
and said, "You are to say, 'His disciples came by night and stole Him away while we were asleep.'
28:14
"And if this should come to the governor's ears, we will win him over and keep you out of trouble."
28:15
And they took the money and did as they had been instructed; and this story was widely spread among the Jews, and is to this day.
28:16
But the eleven disciples proceeded to Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had designated.
28:17
When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some were doubtful.
28:18
And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
28:19
"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,
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."
