1 mFor ver. 1-8, see Mark 16:1-8; Luke 24:1-10; John 20:1 Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene andnch. 27:56, 61 the other Mary went to see the tomb. 2 And behold, there was a great earthquake, foro[John 20:12] an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3 pDan. 10:6 His appearance was like lightning, andq[Dan. 7:9; Mark 9:3; John 20:12; Acts 1:10] his clothing white as snow. 4 And for fear of him the guards trembled andr[Rev. 1:17] 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,sch. 27:63 as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. 7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold,tver. 10, 16; ch. 26:32 he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. See, I have told you. ” 8 So they departed quickly from the tombu[Ps. 2:11] with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. 9 And behold, Jesusv[Mark 16:9; John 20:14] met them and said, “Greetings! ” And they came up andw2 Kgs. 4:27 took hold of his feet andxver. 17; Luke 24:52 worshiped him. 10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid;ySee John 20:18 go and tellzJohn 20:17; [Ps. 22:22; Rom. 8:29; Heb. 2:11, 12, 17] my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me. ”
11 While they were going, behold, some ofach. 27:65, 66 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,b[ch. 27:64] ‘His disciples came by night and stole him away while we were asleep. ’ 14 And if this comes tocch. 27:2 the governor's ears, we willdSee Acts 12:20 (Gk.) 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 Jewsech. 27:8 to this day.
16 Now the eleven disciplesfver. 7 went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. 17 And when they saw him theygver. 9 worshiped him, but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and said to them, hch. 11:27; Dan. 7:13, 14; John 3:35; 13:3; 17:2; Acts 2:36; Rom. 14:9; 1 Cor. 15:27; Eph. 1:10, 20-22; Phil. 2:9, 10; Col. 2:10; Heb. 1:2; 2:8; 1 Pet. 3:22; [ch. 9:6; John 5:27] “All authorityi[ch. 6:10; Luke 2:14] in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 jMark 16:15, 16 Go therefore andkch. 13:52 make disciples oflLuke 24:47; [ch. 24:14; Mark 11:17; Rom. 1:5] all nations,jMark 16:15, 16 baptizing themmSee Acts 8:16 in1Or inton[2 Cor. 13:14] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching themoJohn 14:15 to observe all thatp[Acts 1:2] I have commanded you.
