1After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb.[ † ]Mark 16:1-8Luke 24:1-10John 20:1-8Matthew 27:56-61
2Suddenly there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, rolled away the stone, and sat on it.[ † ]Mark 16:5Luke 24:4John 20:12 3His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow.[ † ]Daniel 7:9Daniel 10:6Mark 9:3John 20:12Acts 1:10 4The guards trembled in fear of him and became like dead men.[ † ]Revelation 1:17
5But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6He is not here; He has risen, just as He said! Come, see the place where He lay.[ † ]Hosea 6:2Psalms 16:10Psalms 49:15Matthew 12:40Matthew 16:21Matthew 17:23Matthew 20:19 7Then go quickly and tell His disciples, ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see Him.’ See, I have told you.”[ † ]Matthew 26:32Matthew 28:10-16Mark 16:7
8So they hurried away from the tomb in fear and great joy, and ran to tell His disciples. 9Suddenly Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” They came to Him, grasped His feet, and worshiped Him.[ † ]Mark 16:9John 20:14 10“Do not be afraid,” said Jesus. “Go and tell My brothers to go to Galilee. There they will see Me.”[ † ]Psalms 22:22John 20:17Romans 8:29Hebrews 2:11
11While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests all that had happened. 12And after the chief priests had met with the elders and formed a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money 13and instructed them: “You are to say, ‘His disciples came by night and stole Him away while we were asleep.’ 14If this report reaches the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.”
15So the guards took the money and did as they were instructed. And this account has been circulated among the Jews to this very day.
16Meanwhile, the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain Jesus had designated.[ † ]Matthew 26:32Matthew 28:7-10Mark 14:28Mark 15:41Mark 16:7 17When they saw Him, they worshiped Him, but some doubted.[ † ]John 20:24-29
18Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.[ † ]Daniel 7:13-14Matthew 11:27Luke 1:32Luke 10:22John 3:35Acts 2:36Romans 14:91 Corinthians 15:27Ephesians 1:10-21Philippians 2:9-10Hebrews 1:21 Peter 3:22 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,[ † ]Mark 16:15Isaiah 52:10Luke 24:47Acts 2:38-39Romans 10:18Colossians 1:23 20and teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”[ † ]Acts 2:42Acts 4:31Acts 18:10Acts 23:11
