Matthew 28

Jesus Is Risen!

11NowG1161 afterG3796 the SabbathG4521, as it began to dawnG2020 towardG1519 the firstG1520 day of the weekG4521, 2MaryG3137 MagdaleneG3094 and the otherG243 MaryG3137 cameG2064 to lookG2334 at the graveG5028. 2And beholdG2400, a severeG3173 earthquakeG4578 had occurredG1096, for 3an angelG32 of the LordG2962 descendedG2597 from heavenG3772 and cameG4334 and rolledG617 awayG617 4the stoneG3037 and satG2521 upon it. 3And 5his appearanceG1490 was likeG5613 lightningG796, and his clothingG1742 as whiteG3022 as snowG5510. 4The guardsG5083 shookG4579 for fearG5401 of him and becameG1096 likeG5613 deadG3498 menG3498. 5The angelG32 saidG3004 to the womenG1135, “67Do not be afraidG5399; for I knowG3609 that you are lookingG2212 for JesusG2424 who has been crucifiedG4717. 6He is not hereG5602, for He has risenG1453, 8justG2531 as He saidG3004. ComeG1205, seeG3708 the placeG5117 whereG3699 He was lyingG2749. 7GoG4198 quicklyG5035 and tellG3004 His disciplesG3101 that He has risenG1453 from the deadG3498; and beholdG2400, He is goingG4254 aheadG4254 of you 9into GalileeG1056, thereG1563 you will seeG3708 Him; beholdG2400, I have toldG3004 you.”

8And they leftG565 the tombG3419 quicklyG5035 with fearG5401 and greatG3173 joyG5479 and ranG5143 to reportG518 it to His disciplesG3101. 9And beholdG2400, JesusG2424 metG5221 them 10and greetedG3004G5463 them. And they cameG4334 up and tookG2902 holdG2902 of His feetG4228 and worshipedG4352 Him. 10ThenG5119 JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “1112Do not be afraidG5399; goG5217 and takeG518 wordG518 to 13My brethrenG80 to leaveG565 14for GalileeG1056, and thereG1563 they will seeG3708 Me.”

11NowG1161 while they were on their wayG4198, someG5100 of 15the guardG2892 cameG2064 into the cityG4172 and reportedG518 to the chiefG749 priestsG749 allG537 that had happenedG1096. 12And when they had assembledG4863 with the eldersG4245 and consultedG4824G2983 togetherG4824, they gaveG1325 a largeG2425 sumG2425 of moneyG694 to the soldiersG4757, 13and saidG3004, “You are to sayG3004, ‘His disciplesG3101 cameG2064 by nightG3571 and stoleG2813 Him awayG2813 while we were asleepG2837.’ 14And ifG1437 thisG3778 should comeG191 to 16the governor’sG2232 earsG191, we will winG3982 him overG3982 and 17keepG4160 you out of troubleG275.” 15And they tookG2983 the moneyG694 and didG4160 as they had been instructedG1321; and thisG3778 storyG3056 was widelyG1310 18spreadG1310 amongG3844 the JewsG2453, and is 19to thisG4594 dayG4594.

The Great Commission

16But the elevenG1733 disciplesG3101 proceededG4198 20to GalileeG1056, to the mountainG3735 whichG3757 JesusG2424 had designatedG5021. 17When they sawG3708 Him, they worshipedG4352 Him; but 21someG3588 were doubtfulG1365. 18And JesusG2424 cameG4334 up and spokeG2980 to them, sayingG3004, “22AllG3956 authorityG1849 has been givenG1325 to Me in heavenG3772 and on earthG1093. 192324GoG4198 thereforeG3767 and 25makeG3100 disciplesG3100 of 26allG3956 the nationsG1484, 27baptizingG907 them in the nameG3686 of the FatherG3962 and the SonG5207 and the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, 20teachingG1321 them to observeG5083 allG3956 that I commandedG1781 you; and loG2400, 28I amG1510 with you 29alwaysG3956G2250, evenG2193 to 30the endG4930 of the ageG165.”
