Matthew:28
Seeker Overlay ON
*
But late in the week ,
at the dawning into the first [
day ]
of the week ,
Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb .
*
And behold ,
a great earthquake occurred !
For coming down from Heaven ,
and coming up ,
an angel of [
the ]
Lord rolled back the stone from the door and [
was ]
sitting on it .
*
His countenance was like lightning ,
and his clothing white as snow .
*
And the keepers shook for fear of him and became like dead [
men ].
*
And the angel answered and said to the women ,
Do not fear ,
for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified .
*
He is not here ,
for He has risen ,
as He said .
Come ,
see the place where the Lord lay .
*
And go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead .
And ,
behold ,
He goes before you into Galilee .
There you shall see Him .
Lo ,
I have told you .
*
And they quickly departed from the tomb with fear and great joy ,
and ran to bring His disciples word .
*
But as they were going to report to His disciples ,
behold ,
Jesus also met them ,
saying ,
Hail !
And they came and held Him by the feet and worshiped Him .
*
Then Jesus said to them ,
Do not be afraid ;
go tell My brothers that they should go into Galilee ,
and there they will see Me .
*
And as they were going ,
behold ,
some of the guard came into the city and declared all the things that were done to the chief priests .
*
And being assembled with the elders ,
and taking counsel , [
they ]
gave enough silver to the soldiers ,
*
saying ,
Say that His disciples came by night [
and ]
stole Him [
away ]
while we slept .
*
And if this comes to the governor '
s ears ,
we will persuade him and make you free from care .
*
And taking the silver ,
they did as they were taught .
And this saying was spread among the Jews until today .
*
And the eleven disciples went into Galilee ,
to the mountain where Jesus had appointed them .
*
And when they saw Him ,
they worshiped Him .
But some doubted .
*
And Jesus came and spoke to them ,
saying ,
All authority is given to Me in Heaven and in earth .
*
Therefore go and teach all nations ,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit ,
*
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 .
