Matthew 28
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
The Resurrection of Jesus
28 After the sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. 2 And suddenly there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord, descending from heaven, came and rolled back the stone 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 But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid; I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. 6 He is not here; for he has been raised, as he said. Come, see the place where he[a] lay. 7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has been raised from the dead,[b] and indeed he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him.’ This is my message for you.” 8 So they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. 9 Suddenly Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” And they came to him, took hold of his feet, and worshiped him. 10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.”
The Report of the Guard
11 While they were going, some of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests everything that had happened. 12 After the priests[c] had assembled with the elders, they devised a plan to give a large sum of money to the soldiers, 13 telling them, “You must say, ‘His disciples came by night and stole him away while we were asleep.’ 14 If this comes to the governor’s ears, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.” 15 So they took the money and did as they were directed. And this story is still told among the Jews to this day.
The Commissioning of the Disciples
16 Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”[d]

The Resurrection
28 (A)Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and (B)the other Mary went to see the tomb. 2 And behold, there was a great earthquake, for (C)an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3 (D)His appearance was like lightning, and (E)his clothing white as snow. 4 And for fear of him the guards trembled and (F)became like dead men. 5 But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. 6 He is not here, for he has risen, (G)as he said. Come, see the place where he[a] lay. 7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, (H)he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. See, I have told you.” 8 So they departed quickly from the tomb (I)with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. 9 And behold, Jesus (J)met them and said, “Greetings!” And they came up and (K)took hold of his feet and (L)worshiped him. 10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid; (M)go and tell (N)my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me.”
The Report of the Guard
11 While they were going, behold, some of (O)the guard went into the city and told the chief priests all that had taken place. 12 And when they had assembled with the elders and taken counsel, they gave a sufficient sum of money to the soldiers 13 and said, “Tell people, (P)‘His disciples came by night and stole him away while we were asleep.’ 14 And if this comes to (Q)the governor's ears, we will (R)satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.” 15 So they took the money and did as they were directed. And this story has been spread among the Jews (S)to this day.
The Great Commission
16 Now the eleven disciples (T)went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. 17 And when they saw him they (U)worshiped him, but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and said to them, (V)“All authority (W)in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 (X)Go therefore and (Y)make disciples of (Z)all nations, (AA)baptizing them (AB)in[b] (AC)the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them (AD)to observe all that (AE)I have commanded you. And behold, (AF)I am with you always, to (AG)the end of the age.”

Jesus Is Risen!
28 (A)Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, (B)Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the grave. 2 And behold, there was a great earthquake, for (C)an angel of the [a]Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled away (D)the stone and sat upon it. 3 And (E)his appearance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. 4 And the guards quaked from fear of him and became like dead men. 5 And the angel answered and said to the women, “[b](F)Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified. 6 He is not here, for He has risen, (G)just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying. 7 And go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead; and behold, He is going ahead of you (H)into Galilee, there you will see Him; behold, I have told you.”
8 And they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy and ran to report it to His disciples. 9 And behold, Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” And they came up and took hold of His feet and worshiped Him. 10 Then Jesus *said to them, “[c](I)Do not be afraid; go and report to (J)My brothers to leave (K)for Galilee, and there they will see Me.”
11 Now while they were on their way, behold, some of (L)the guard came into the city and reported to the chief priests all that had happened. 12 And when they had assembled with the elders and took counsel together, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers, 13 and said, “You are to say, ‘His disciples came by night and stole Him away while we were asleep.’ 14 And if this is heard before (M)the governor, we will win him over and [d]keep you out of trouble.” 15 And they took the money and did as they had been instructed; and this story was widely (N)spread among the Jews, and is (O)to this day.
The Great Commission
16 But the eleven disciples proceeded (P)to Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had designated. 17 And when they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but (Q)some doubted. 18 And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “(R)All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 [e](S)Go therefore and (T)make disciples of (U)all the nations, (V)baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to keep all that I commanded you; and behold, (W)I am with you [f]always, even to (X)the end of the age.”

Svenska 1917
28 När sabbaten hade gått till ända, i gryningen till första veckodagen, kommo Maria från Magdala och den andra Maria för att se graven.
2 Då blev det en stor jordbävning; ty en Herrens ängel steg ned från himmelen och gick fram och vältrade bort stenen och satte sig på den.
3 Och han var att skåda såsom en ljungeld, och hans kläder voro vita såsom snö.
4 Och väktarna skälvde av förskräckelse för honom och blevo såsom döda.
5 Men ängeln talade och sade till kvinnorna: »Varen I icke förskräckta; jag vet att I söken Jesus, den korsfäste.
6 Han är icke här, ty han är uppstånden, såsom han hade förutsagt. Kommen hit, och sen platsen där han har legat.
7 Och gån så åstad med hast, och sägen till hans lärjungar att han är uppstånden från de döda. Och han skall före eder gå till Galileen; där skolen I få se honom. Jag har nu sagt eder det.»
8 Och de gingo med hast bort ifrån graven, under fruktan och med stor glädje, och skyndade åstad för att omtala det för hans lärjungar.
9 Men se, då kom Jesus emot dem och sade: »Hell eder!» Och de gingo fram och fattade om hans fötter och tillbådo honom.
10 Då sade Jesus till dem: »Frukten icke; gån åstad och omtalen detta för mina bröder, på det att de må gå till Galileen; där skola de få se mig.»
11 Men under det att de voro på vägen, kommo några av väktarna till staden och underrättade översteprästerna om allt det som hade hänt.
12 Då församlade sig dessa jämte de äldste; och sedan de hade fattat sitt beslut, gåvo de en ganska stor summa penningar åt krigsmännen
13 och sade: »Så skolen I säga: 'Hans lärjungar kommo om natten och stulo bort honom, medan vi sovo.'
14 Och om saken kommer för landshövdingens öron, så skola vi ställa honom till freds och sörja för, att I kunnen vara utan bekymmer.»
15 Och de togo emot penningarna och gjorde såsom man hade lärt dem. Och det talet utspriddes bland judarna och är gängse bland dem ännu i denna dag.
16 Men de elva lärjungarna begåvo sig till det berg i Galileen, dit Jesus hade bjudit dem att gå.
17 Och när de fingo se honom, tillbådo de honom. Dock funnos några som tvivlade.
18 Då trädde Jesus fram och talade till dem och sade: »Mig är given all makt i himmelen och på jorden.
19 Gån fördenskull ut och gören alla folk till lärjungar, döpande dem i Faderns och Sonens och den helige Andes namn,
20 lärande dem att hålla allt vad jag har befallt eder. Och se, jag är med eder alla dagar intill tidens ände.»
