# Matthew 28

[1](#verse-1) Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.

[2](#verse-2) Behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from the sky and came and rolled away the stone from the door and sat on it.

[3](#verse-3) His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow.

[4](#verse-4) For fear of him, the guards shook, and became like dead men.

[5](#verse-5) The angel answered the women, “Don’t be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus, who has been crucified.

[6](#verse-6) He is not here, for he has risen, just like he said. Come, see the place where the Lord was lying.

[7](#verse-7) Go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has risen from the dead, and behold, he goes before you into Galilee; there you will see him.’ Behold, I have told you.”

[8](#verse-8) They departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring his disciples word.

[9](#verse-9) As they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Rejoice!” They came and took hold of his feet, and worshiped him.

[10](#verse-10) Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Go tell my brothers that they should go into Galilee, and there they will see me.”

[11](#verse-11) Now while they were going, behold, some of the guards came into the city and told the chief priests all the things that had happened.

[12](#verse-12) When they were assembled with the elders and had taken counsel, they gave a large amount of silver to the soldiers,

[13](#verse-13) saying, “Say that his disciples came by night and stole him away while we slept.

[14](#verse-14) If this comes to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him and make you free of worry.”

[15](#verse-15) So they took the money and did as they were told. This saying was spread abroad among the Jews, and continues until today.

[16](#verse-16) But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had sent them.

[17](#verse-17) When they saw him, they bowed down to him; but some doubted.

[18](#verse-18) Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.

[19](#verse-19) Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

[20](#verse-20) teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
