| | 1 | Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. | |
| | 2 | And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it. | |
| | 3 | His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. | |
| | 4 | And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men. | |
| | 5 | But the angel answered and said to the women, "Do not be afraid, 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 indeed He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you." | |
| | 8 | So they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word. | |
| | 9 | And 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. | |
| | 10 | Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid. Go and tell My brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see Me." | |
| | 11 | Now 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. | |
| | 12 | When they had assembled with the elders and consulted together, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers, | |
| | 13 | saying, "Tell them, 'His disciples came at night and stole Him away while we slept.' | |
| | 14 | "And if this comes to the governor's ears, we will appease him and make you secure." | |
| | 15 | So they took the money and did as they were instructed; and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day. | |
| | 16 | Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them. | |
| | 17 | When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted. | |
| | 18 | And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. | |
| | 19 | "Go 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, | |
| | 20 | "teaching 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. | |
