Matthew:28
Seeker Overlay ON
*
In the end of the sabbath ,
as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week ,
came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre .
*
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 .
