| # Chapter 28
#### 1 | Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.
#### 2 | Behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from the sky, and came and rolled away the stone from the door, and sat on it.
#### 3 | His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow.
#### 4 | For fear of him, the guards shook, and became like dead men.
#### 5 | The angel answered the women, 'Don't be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus, who has been crucified.
#### 6 | He is not here, for he has risen, just like he said. Come, see the place where the Lord was lying.
#### 7 | Go quickly and tell his disciples, 'He has risen from the dead, and behold, he goes before you into Galilee; there you will see him.' Behold, I have told you.'
#### 8 | They departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring his disciples word.
#### 9 | As they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, 'Rejoice!' They came and took hold of his feet, and worshiped him.
#### 10 | Then Jesus said to them, 'Don't be afraid. Go tell my brothers that they may go into Galilee, and there they will see me.'
#### 11 | Now while they were going, behold, some of the guards came into the city, and told the chief priests all the things that had happened.
#### 12 | When they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave a large amount of silver to the soldiers,
#### 13 | saying, 'Say that his disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.
#### 14 | If this comes to the governor's ears, we will persuade him and make you free of worry.'
#### 15 | So they took the money and did as they were told. This saying was spread abroad among the Jews, and continues until this day.
#### 16 | But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had sent them.
#### 17 | When they saw him, they bowed down to him, but some doubted.
#### 18 | Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, 'All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.
#### 19 | Go, and make disciples of all 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 which I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.' Amen.
