Matthew’s Account

1

Chapter 28

¹ Now it is the evening of the sabbaths. At the lighting up into one of the sabbaths came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to behold the sepulcher.
² And lo! a great quake occurred, for a messenger of the Lord, descending out of heaven and approaching, rolls away the stone from the door and sat upon it.
³ Now he was, to the perception, as lightning, and his apparel white as if snow.
⁴ Now from fear of him the keepers quaked and became as the dead.
⁵ Now, answering, the messenger said to the women, "Fear you not! For I am aware that you are seeking Jesus, the Crucified.
⁶ He is not here, for He was roused, according as He said. Hither! Perceive the place where the Lord lay.
⁷ And, swiftly going, say to His disciples that He was roused from the dead, and lo! He is preceding you into Galilee. There you will see Him. Lo! I told you!"
⁸ And coming away swiftly from the tomb with fear and great joy, they ran to report to His disciples.
⁹ Now, as they went to report to His disciples, lo! Jesus also meets them saying, "Rejoice!" Now they, approaching, hold His feet and worship Him.
¹⁰ Then Jesus is saying to them, "Fear not! Go, report to My brethren that they may be coming away into Galilee, and there they shall see Me."
¹¹ Now at their going, lo! some of the detail, coming into the city, report to the chief priests all that is occurring.
¹² And being gathered with the elders, besides holding a consultation, they give a considerable sum of silver to the soldiers,
¹³ saying, "Say that 'His disciples, coming by night, steal him as we are reposing.'
¹⁴ And if ever this should be heard by the governor, we will persuade him, and we will make you to be without worry."
¹⁵ Now they, getting the silver pieces, do according as they were taught. And this word is blazed abroad by the Jews unto today.
¹⁶ Now the eleven disciples went into Galilee, into the mountain where Jesus arranges with them.
¹⁷ And, perceiving Him, they worship Him, yet they hesitate.
¹⁸ And, approaching, Jesus speaks to them saying, "Given to Me was all authority in heaven and on the earth.
¹⁹ Going, then, disciple all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit,
²⁰ teaching them to be keeping all, whatever I direct you. And lo! I am with you all the days till the conclusion of the eon! Amen!"
