Gospel According to Matthew (MLV)

Matthew 28)

^28:1 Now after the Sabbath day, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene came and the other Mary to see the sepulcher. ^28:2 And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord, having come down from heaven, came and rolled away the stone from the door and was sitting upon it. ^28:3 His appearance was like* lightning and his raiment white as snow: ^28:4 and those who are guarding him, shook out of fear of him and became like* dead men.

^28:5 And the angel answered and said to the women, Do not fear; for* I know that you* seek Jesus, who has been crucified. ^28:6 He is not here; for* he has risen, just-as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. ^28:7 And go quickly and tell his disciples, He has risen from the dead; and behold, he is going before you into Galilee; there you* will see him: behold, I have told you*.

^28:8 And they having gone out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, ran to report to his disciples. ^28:9 But as they were going to report it to his disciples; and behold, Jesus met them, saying, Hello! And they came and took hold of his feet and worshiped him. ^28:10 Then Jesus says to them, Do not fear: go, report to my brethren in order that they might depart into Galilee and they will see me there.

^28:11 Now while they were going, behold, some of the sentry came into the city and reported to the high-priests all the things that had happened. ^28:12 And when they were assembled with the elders and had taken counsel, they gave many pieces of silver to the soldiers, ^28:13 saying, You* say, His disciples came by night and stole him away while we slept. ^28:14 And if this might be heard by the governor, we will persuade him and will make you free from cares. ^28:15 So they took the silver and did as they were taught and this saying was spread among the Jews and is continuing until this day.

^28:16 But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had appointed them. ^28:17 And seeing him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. ^28:18 And Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. ^28:19 As you* are going, make disciples of all the nations, immersing* them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit: ^28:20 teaching them to observe all things whatever I commanded you* and behold, I am with you* all the days until the end of the world.

Amen.
