Matthew - Chapter 28

	Mat 28:1	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.
	Mat 28:2	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, [fn] and sat on it.
	Mat 28:3	His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow.
	Mat 28:4	And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men.
	Mat 28:5	But the angel answered and said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified.
	Mat 28:6	He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
	Mat 28:7	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."
	Mat 28:8	So they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word.
	Mat 28:9	And as they went to tell His disciples, [fn] behold, Jesus met them, saying, "Rejoice!" So they came and held Him by the feet and worshiped Him.
	Mat 28:10	Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid. Go [and] tell My brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see Me."
	Mat 28:11	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.
	Mat 28:12	When they had assembled with the elders and consulted together, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers,
	Mat 28:13	saying, "Tell them, 'His disciples came at night and stole Him [away] while we slept.'
	Mat 28:14	And if this comes to the governor's ears, we will appease him and make you secure."
	Mat 28:15	So they took the money and did as they were instructed; and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.
	Mat 28:16	Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them.
	Mat 28:17	When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted.
	Mat 28:18	And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
	Mat 28:19	Go therefore [fn] and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
	Mat 28:20	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. [fn]
