Matthew:28

Seeker Overlay ON

* But after [the ] Sabbath , at the dawning toward [the ] first [day ] of the week , Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb . * And behold , a great earthquake occurred ; for an angel of the Lord , having come down out of heaven , came and rolled back the stone from the door , and sat on it . * And His appearance was like lightning , and his clothing as white as snow . * And the guards were shaken for fear of him , and became like dead [men ]. * But the angel answered and said to the women , "Do not be afraid , for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified . * He is not here ! For He is risen , just as He said . Come ; see the place where the Lord was lying . * And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead , and behold , He is going before you into Galilee ; there you will see Him . Behold , I have told you ." * And going out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy , they ran to report to His disciples . * And as they were going to report to His disciples , that behold , Jesus met them , saying , "Rejoice !"So they came and held His feet and worshipped Him . * Then Jesus said to them , "Do not be afraid . Go , report to My brothers that they should go to Galilee , and there they will see Me ." * Now while they were going , behold , some of the guard came into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had happened . * When they had assembled with the elders and taking counsel , they gave sufficient silver [coins ] to the soldiers , * saying , "Tell them , 'His disciples came at night and stole Him away while we were sleeping .' * "And if this reaches the governor 's ears , we will influence him and make you secure ." * So they took the silver and did as they were instructed . And this saying has been widely spread among the Jews until this day . * Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee , to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them . * When they saw Him , they worshipped Him ; but some doubted . * And Jesus came and spoke to them , saying , "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me . * Go [therefore ] and make disciples of all the nations , baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit , * teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you ; and lo , I am with you always , even to the end of the age ."Amen .
