Matthew Chapter 28

The Resurrection of Jesus
1   At 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 sepulcher.
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 countenance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow:
4   And for fear of him the guards did shake, and became as dead men.
5   And the angel answered and said unto the women,  Fear  not:  for  I  know  that  you  seek Jesus, who was crucified.
6   He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
7   And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is  risen  from  the  dead;  and,  behold,  he goes before you into Galilee; there shall you see him: lo, I have told you.
8   And they departed quickly from   the sepulcher with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.

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

The Guards at the Tomb Are Bribed
11   Now when they were going, behold, some of the guards came into the city, and announced unto the chief priests all the things that were done.
12   And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave much money unto the soldiers,
13   Saying, Say this, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.
14   And if this comes to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and protect you.
15   So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.

The Great Commission
16   Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
17   And when they saw him, they worshiped him: but some doubted.
18   And Jesus came and spoke unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19   Go you therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit:
20   Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
