Matthew 28

6 The resurrection of Christ. 10 The brethren of Christ. 12 The high Priests bribe the soldiers. 17 Christ appeareth to his disciples, and sendeth them forth to preach, and to baptise. 20 Promising to them continual assistance.
1.Now *in the ^end of the aSabbath, when the first day of the week began to dawn, Marie Magdalene, and the other Marie came to see the sepulchre.
2.And behold, there was a great earthquake: for the bAngel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
3.And his countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow.
4.And for fear of him, the keepers were astonied, and became as dead men.
5.But the Angel answered, and said to the women, Fear ye not: for I know that ye seek Jesus which was crucified:
6.He is not here, for he is risen, as he said: come, see the place where the Lord was laid,
7.And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead: and behold, he goeth before you into Galilee: there ye shall see him: clo, I have told you.
8.So they departed quickly from the sepulchre, with fear and great djoy, and did run to bring his disciples word.
9.And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus also met them, saying, God save you. And they came, and took him by the feet, and worshipped him.
10.Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid. Go, and tell my brethren, that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.
11.¶ Now when they were gone, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the high Priests all the things that were done.
12.And they gathered them together with the Elders, and took counsel, and gave large money unto the soldiers,
13.Saying, Say, His disciples came by night and stole him away while we slept.
14.And if the governors hear of this, we will persuade him, and save you harmless.
15.So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this esaying is noised among the Jews unto this day.
16.¶ Then the eleven disciples went into Galilee, into a mountain, where Jesus had appointed them.
17.And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
18.And Jesus came, and spake unto them, saying, *All power is given unto me in heaven, and in earth.
19.*Go therefore, and teach all nations, baptising them in the Name of the Father, and the Son, and the holie Ghost,
20.Teaching them to observe all things, whatsoever I fhave commanded you and lo, *I am with you alway, until the gend of the world, Amen.
