Matthew 28 (WEBP)

[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 should 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 today.
[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 that I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

Matthew 28:10 The word for “brothers” here may be also correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.”
Matthew 28:19 TR and NU add “therefore”
