Matthew 28

New Matthew Bible

The resurrection of Christ. The high priests give the soldiers a large sum of money to say that Christ was stolen out of his grave. Christ appears to his disciples, and sends them forth to preach and to baptize.

28 At the close of the Sabbath day, which is in the dawn of the morrow after the Sabbath, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the sepulchre. ²And behold, there was a great earthquake. For the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door and sat upon it. ³His countenance was like lightening and his raiment white as snow. ⁴And for fear of him, the guards were overwhelmed and became as dead men.

⁵The angel spoke and said to the women, Fear not: I know that you seek Jesus, who was crucified. ⁶He is not here. He is risen, as he said. Come and see the place where the Lord was put. ⁷And go quickly and tell his disciples that he is risen from death. And behold, he will go before you into Galilee; there you will see him. Lo, I have told you.

⁸And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy, and did run to bring his disciples word. ⁹And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All Hail! And they came and held him by the feet and worshipped him. ¹⁰Then said Jesus to them, Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brethren to go into Galilee, and there they will see me.

¹¹When they had gone, some of the guards went into the city and told to the high priests all the things that had happened. ¹²And they gathered them together with the elders and took counsel, and gave a large sum of money to the soldiers, ¹³saying, Say that his disciples came by night and stole him away while you slept. ¹⁴And if this comes to the governor’s ears, we will appease him and keep you out of trouble.

¹⁵And the soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story is circulated among the Jews to this day.

¹⁶Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to a mountain where Jesus had directed them. ¹⁷And when they saw him, they worshipped him. But some of them doubted.

¹⁸And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, All power is given to me in heaven and in earth. ¹⁹Go therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, ²⁰and teaching them to observe all things, whatsoever I commanded you. And lo, I am with you always, even until the end of the world.

Here ends the gospel
of St. Matthew.

Matthew 28

New King James Version

He Is Risen^(A)

28 Now ^(B)after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene ^(C)and the other Mary came to see the tomb. ²And behold, there was a great earthquake; for ^(D)an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone ^[a]from the door, and sat on it. ³^(E)His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. ⁴And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like ^(F)dead men.

⁵But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. ⁶He is not here; for He is risen, ^(G)as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. ⁷And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed ^(H)He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you.”

⁸So they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word.

The Women Worship the Risen Lord

⁹And ^[b]as they went to tell His disciples, behold, ^(I)Jesus met them, saying, “Rejoice!” So they came and held Him by the feet and worshiped Him. ¹⁰Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell ^(J)My brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see Me.”

The Soldiers Are Bribed

¹¹Now 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. ¹²When they had assembled with the elders and consulted together, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers, ¹³saying, “Tell them, ‘His disciples came at night and stole Him away while we slept.’ ¹⁴And if this comes to the governor’s ears, we will appease him and make you secure.” ¹⁵So they took the money and did as they were instructed; and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.

The Great Commission^(K)

¹⁶Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain ^(L)which Jesus had appointed for them. ¹⁷When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some ^(M)doubted.

¹⁸And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, ^(N)“All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. ¹⁹^(O)Go ^[c]therefore and ^(P)make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, ²⁰^(Q)teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am ^(R)with you always, even to the end of the age.” ^[d]Amen.

New International Version

Jesus Has Risen^(A)

28 After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene^(B) and the other Mary^(C) went to look at the tomb.

²There was a violent earthquake,^(D) for an angel^(E) of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone^(F) and sat on it. ³His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow.^(G) ⁴The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.

⁵The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid,^(H) for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. ⁶He is not here; he has risen, just as he said.^(I) Come and see the place where he lay. ⁷Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee.^(J) There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”

⁸So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. ⁹Suddenly Jesus met them.^(K) “Greetings,” he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him. ¹⁰Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers^(L) to go to Galilee; there they will see me.”

The Guards’ Report

¹¹While the women were on their way, some of the guards^(M) went into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had happened. ¹²When the chief priests had met with the elders and devised a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money, ¹³telling them, “You are to say, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole him away^(N) while we were asleep.’ ¹⁴If this report gets to the governor,^(O) we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.” ¹⁵So the soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has been widely circulated among the Jews to this very day.

The Great Commission

¹⁶Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go.^(P) ¹⁷When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. ¹⁸Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.^(Q) ¹⁹Therefore go and make disciples of all nations,^(R) baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,^(S) ²⁰and teaching^(T) them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you^(U) always, to the very end of the age.”^(V)
