Words Of Jesus Christ Will Be In Red Text
| Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first {day} of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the grave. | |
| And behold, a severe earthquake had occurred, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it. | |
| And his appearance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. | |
| The guards shook for fear of him and became like dead men. | |
| The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified. | |
| "He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying. | |
| "Go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead; and behold, He is going ahead of you into Galilee, there you will see Him; behold, I have told you." | |
| And they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy and ran to report it to His disciples. | |
| And behold, Jesus met them and greeted them. And they came up and took hold of His feet and worshiped Him. | |
| Then Jesus *said to them, "Do not be afraid; go and take word to My brethren to leave for Galilee, and there they will see Me." | |
| Now while they were on their way, some of the guard came into the city and reported to the chief priests all that had happened. | |
| And when they had assembled with the elders and consulted together, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers, | |
| and said, "You are to say, 'His disciples came by night and stole Him away while we were asleep.' | |
| "And if this should come to the governor's ears, we will win him over and keep you out of trouble." | |
| And they took the money and did as they had been instructed; and this story was widely spread among the Jews, {and is} to this day. | |
| But the eleven disciples proceeded to Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had designated. | |
| When they saw Him, they worshiped {Him;} but some were doubtful. | |
| And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. | |
| "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, | |
| teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." |
