Matthew 28:9-20

9And as they went to tell His disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Rejoice!” So they came and held Him by the feet and worshiped Him.

10Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell My brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see Me.”

11Now while they were going, behold, some of the guard came into the city and reported to the chief priests all the things that had happened.

12When they had assembled with the elders and consulted together, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers,

13saying, “Tell them, ‘His disciples came at night and stole Him away while we slept.’

14And if this comes to the governor’s ears, we will appease him and make you secure.”

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

16Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them.

17When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted.

18And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.

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

20teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
