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.”

Young’s Literal Translation

Matthew 28 (YLT)

[1] And on the eve of the sabbaths, at the dawn, toward the first of the sabbaths, came Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, to see the sepulchre,
[2] and lo, there came a great earthquake, for a messenger of the Lord, having come down out of heaven, having come, did roll away the stone from the door, and was sitting upon it,
[3] and his countenance was as lightning, and his clothing white as snow,
[4] and from the fear of him did the keepers shake, and they became as dead men.
[5] And the messenger answering said to the women, ‘Fear not ye, for I have known that Jesus, who hath been crucified, ye seek;
[6] he is not here, for he rose, as he said; come, see the place where the Lord was lying;
[7] and having gone quickly, say ye to his disciples, that he rose from the dead; and lo, he doth go before you to Galilee, there ye shall see him; lo, I have told you.’
[8] And having gone forth quickly from the tomb, with fear and great joy, they ran to tell to his disciples;
[9] and as they were going to tell to his disciples, then lo, Jesus met them, saying, ‘Hail!’ and they having come near, laid hold of his feet, and did bow to him.
[10] Then saith Jesus to them, ‘Fear ye not, go away, tell to my brethren that they may go away to Galilee, and there they shall see me.’
[11] And while they are going on, lo, certain of the watch having come to the city, told to the chief priests all the things that happened,
[12] and having been gathered together with the elders, counsel also having taken, they gave much money to the soldiers,
[13] saying, ‘Say ye, that his disciples having come by night, stole him-we being asleep;
[14] and if this be heard by the governor, we will persuade him, and you keep free from anxiety.’
[15] And they, having received the money, did as they were taught, and this account was spread abroad among Jews till this day.
[16] And the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mount where Jesus appointed them,
[17] and having seen him, they bowed to him, but some did waver.
[18] And having come near, Jesus spake to them, saying, ‘Given to me was all authority in heaven and on earth;
[19] having gone, then, disciple all the nations, (baptizing them-to the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,
[20] teaching them to observe all, whatever I did command you,) and lo, I am with you all the days-till the full end of the age.’
