nsb - Matthew:28

nsb@Matthew:28:1 @ Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.

nsb@Matthew:28:2 @ Suddenly there was a great earthquake, as an angel of God descended from heaven and rolled away the stone and sat on it.

nsb@Matthew:28:3 @ His appearance was as lightning, and his clothing white as snow.

nsb@Matthew:28:4 @ The guards shook with fear and became as dead men.

nsb@Matthew:28:5 @ The angel spoke to the women: »I know you seek Jesus who has been impaled; do not fear.

nsb@Matthew:28:6 @ »He is not here, for he has risen just as he promised. Come; see the place where the Lord lay.

nsb@Matthew:28:7 @ »Go quickly and tell his disciples he has risen from the dead. See, he goes before you to Galilee. You will see him there, as I have told you.«

nsb@Matthew:28:8 @ They departed quickly from the tomb, with fear and great joy. They ran to bring his disciples the news.

nsb@Matthew:28:9 @ Jesus met them and greeted them. They approached and took hold of his feet and kissed them in adoration.

nsb@Matthew:28:10 @ Then Jesus told them: »Do not fear. Go tell my brothers to travel to Galilee. I will see them there.«

nsb@Matthew:28:11 @ While they were going, some of the guard came into the city. They told the chief priests all the things that happened.

nsb@Matthew:28:12 @ They took counsel with the elders. Then they bribed the soldiers.

nsb@Matthew:28:13 @ The soldiers were instructed to say: »His disciples came at night and stole him while we slept.«

nsb@Matthew:28:14 @ »If the governor hears about this, we will persuade him so you may be free from worry.«

nsb@Matthew:28:15 @ So they took the money and did as they were told. This saying was spread abroad among the Jews, and continues until this day.

nsb@Matthew:28:16 @ The eleven disciples went into Galilee to the mountain where Jesus specified.

nsb@Matthew:28:17 @ When they saw him, they bowed down in adoration for him. But some doubted.

nsb@Matthew:28:18 @ Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying: »All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.

nsb@Matthew:28:19 @ »Go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

nsb@Matthew:28:20 @ »Teach them to observe all the things I have commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.«
