Matthew:28

Seeker Overlay ON

* Now after the Sabbath , as the first day of the week began to dawn , Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb . * And behold , there was a great earthquake ; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven , and came and rolled back the stone from the door , and sat on it . * His countenance was like lightning , and his clothing as white as snow . * And the guards shook 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 , 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 indeed He is going before you into Galilee ; there you will see Him . Behold , I have told you ." * So they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy , and ran to bring His disciples word . * And as they went to tell His disciples , behold , Jesus met them , saying , "Rejoice !" So they came and held Him by the feet and worshiped Him . * Then Jesus said to them , "Do not be afraid . Go and tell My brethren to 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 all the things that had happened . * When they had assembled with the elders and consulted together , they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers , * saying , "Tell them , "His disciples came at night and stole Him away while we slept .' * And if this comes to the governor 's ears , we will appease him and make you secure ." * So they took the money and did as they were instructed ; and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day . * Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee , to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them . * When they saw Him , they worshiped Him ; but some doubted . * And Jesus came and spoke to them , saying , "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth . * 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 all things that I have commanded you ; and lo , I am with you always , even to the end of the age ." Amen .
