Matthew 28

MLV(i) 1 Now after the Sabbath day, as it was dawning toward the first daylight of the week, Mary the Magdalene and the other Mary came to view the burial chamber. 2 And behold, there became a great earthquake; for a messenger of the Lord, having come down from heaven, came and rolled away the stone from the door and was sitting upon it. 3 His form was like lightning and his clothing was white like snow; 4 and those who are guarding the door, shook out of fear of him and became like dead men.
5 Now the messenger answered and said to the women, Do not be afraid; for I know that you are seeking Jesus, who has been crucified. 6 He is not here; for he was raised, just-as he said. Come-here, behold the place where the Lord was laying. 7 And when you have traveled quickly, say to his disciples, He was raised from the dead, and behold, he is preceding you into Galilee; you will be seeing him there. Behold, I have said this to you.
8 And having gone out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, they ran to report to his disciples.


9 Now as they were traveling to also report it to his disciples, behold, Jesus encountered them, saying, Rejoice! But they came and took-hold of his feet and worshiped him. 10 Then Jesus says to them, Do not be afraid. Go; report to my brethren in order that they might go into Galilee and they will be seeing me there.


11 Now while traveling, behold, some of the sentries came into the city and reported to the high-priests all the things which had happened. 12 And having been gathered together with the elders and having taken counsel, they gave a considerable amount of silver to the soldiers, 13 saying, Say : when we fell-asleep, his disciples came by night and stole him away. 14 And if this is heard by the governor, we will be persuading him and will be making you carefree. 15 So they took the silver and did like they were taught and this speech was broadcasted with the Jews and is continuing till today.


16 But the eleven disciples traveled into Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had appointed to them. 17 And seeing him, they worshiped him, but some were skeptical.


18 And Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, All authority has been given to me in heaven and upon earth.
19 When you travel, make disciples of all the nations, immersing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things, as many things as I have commanded you, and behold, I am with you all the days until the end of the earth.
Amen.
