Matthew 28 BSB
The Resurrection
1 After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. See the Greek order
2 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, rolled away the stone, and sat on it. See the Greek order
3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. See the Greek order
4 The guards trembled in fear of him and became like dead men. See the Greek order
5 But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. See the Greek order
6 He is not here; He has risen, just as He said! Come, see the place where He lay. See the Greek order
7 Then go quickly and tell His disciples, ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see Him.’ See, I have told you.” See the Greek order
8 So they hurried away from the tomb in fear and great joy, and ran to tell His disciples. See the Greek order
9 Suddenly Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” They came to Him, grasped His feet, and worshiped Him. See the Greek order
10 “Do not be afraid,” said Jesus. “Go and tell My brothers to go to Galilee. There they will see Me.” See the Greek order
The Report of the Guards
11 While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests all that had happened. See the Greek order
12 And after the chief priests had met with the elders and formed a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money See the Greek order
13 and instructed them: “You are to say, ‘His disciples came by night and stole Him away while we were asleep.’ See the Greek order
14 If this report reaches the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.” See the Greek order
15 So the guards took the money and did as they were instructed. And this account has been circulated among the Jews to this very day. See the Greek order
The Great Commission
16 Meanwhile, the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain Jesus had designated. See the Greek order
17 When they saw Him, they worshiped Him, but some doubted. See the Greek order
18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. See the Greek order
19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, See the Greek order
20 and teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” See the Greek order
