Matthew 28

"

And, 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.

"
"

His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:

"
"

And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.

"
"

And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

"
"

He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

"
"

And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.

"
"

And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.

"
"

And 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.

"
"

Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

"
"

Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done.

"
"

And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,

"
"

Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.

"
"

And if this come to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him, and secure you.

"
"

So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.

"
"

Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

"
"

And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.

"
"

And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

"
"

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

"
"

Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
