Matthew, 28

1. After the Sabbath, and towards dawn on the first day of the week, Mary of Magdala and the other Mary went to visit the sepulchre.

1. In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first [day] of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

2. And suddenly there was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord, descending from heaven, came and rolled away the stone and sat on it.

2. And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.

3. His face was like lightning, his robe white as snow.

3. His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:

4. The guards were so shaken by fear of him that they were like dead men.

4. And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead [men].

5. But the angel spoke; and he said to the women, 'There is no need for you to be afraid. I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.

5. And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

6. He is not here, for he has risen, as he said he would. Come and see the place where he lay,

6. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

7. then go quickly and tell his disciples, "He has risen from the dead and now he is going ahead of you to Galilee; that is where you will see him." Look! I have told you.'

7. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.

8. Filled with awe and great joy the women came quickly away from the tomb and ran to tell his disciples.

8. And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.

9. And suddenly, coming to meet them, was Jesus. 'Greetings,' he said. And the women came up to him and, clasping his feet, they did him homage.

9. And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.

10. Then Jesus said to them, 'Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers that they must leave for Galilee; there they will see me.'

10. Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

11. Now while they were on their way, some of the guards went off into the city to tell the chief priests all that had happened.

11. Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done.

12. These held a meeting with the elders and, after some discussion, handed a considerable sum of money to the soldiers

12. And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,

13. with these instructions, 'This is what you must say, "His disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep."

13. Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him [away] while we slept.

14. And should the governor come to hear of this, we undertake to put things right with him ourselves and to see that you do not get into trouble.'

14. And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you.

15. So they took the money and carried out their instructions, and to this day that is the story among the Jews.

15. So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.

16. Meanwhile the eleven disciples set out for Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had arranged to meet them.

16. Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

17. When they saw him they fell down before him, though some hesitated.

17. And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.

18. Jesus came up and spoke to them. He said, 'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

18. And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

19. Go, therefore, make disciples of all nations; baptise them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

19. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

20. and teach them to observe all the commands I gave you. And look, I am with you always; yes, to the end of time.'

20. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen.
