Matthew:28

Seeker Overlay ON

* At the end of the Sabbath , as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week , Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came down to see the sepulcher , when lo ! * There had been a great earthquake ; for an angel of the Lord had come down from heaven , and gone and rolled away the stone , and was sitting upon it . * His appearance was like lightning , and his raiment white as snow . * The guards trembled for fear of him , and became like dead men . * But to the women the angel said . "You need have no fear , for I know that you are seeking Jesus , the Crucified One . * He is not here ; for he is risen , even as he said . Come , see the place where the Master was lying ! * And go quickly and tell his disciples . He is risen from the dead ; he goes before you into Galilee ; you will see him there . Remember , I have told you ." * On this they ran quickly from the sepulcher , in fear and great joy , to tell the news to his disciples . * And behold ! Jesus himself met them , saying , "All hail !" And they went up to him and clasped his feet and worshiped him . * Then Jesus said to them . "Fear not ! Go tell my brothers to depart into Galilee , and they will see men there ." * Now while they were on their way , some of the guard went into the city and told the high priest all that had happened . * And when they had met with the elders and conferred together , they heavily bribed the soldiers and told them to say , * "His disciples came by night and stole him away , while we were asleep ." * "If this should reach the Governors ears ," they said , "we will satisfy him and screen you from punishment ." * So the soldiers took the money , and did as they were told ; and this story has been noised abroad among the Jews , and continues to this day . * But the eleven disciples went away to Galilee , to the mountain where Jesus had appointed them . * And when they saw him they worshiped him ; but some doubted . * And Jesus came forward to them and spoke to them , saying . "All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth . * Go , therefore , and make disciples of all nations , baptizing them into the name of the Father , and of the Son , and of the Holy Spirit ; * teaching them to observe every command which I have given you . and lo ! I am with you alway , even unto the end of the world ."
