The Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 28:1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Mag-da-le´-ne and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

Matt 28:2 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.

Matt 28:3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:

Matt 28:4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.

Matt 28:5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

Matt 28:6 He is not here: for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

Matt 28:7 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.

Matt 28:8 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring His disciples word.

Matt 28:9 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.

Matt 28:10 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell My brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see Me.

Matt 28:11 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.

Matt 28:12 And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,

Matt 28:13 Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole Him away while we slept.

Matt 28:14 And if this come to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him, and secure you.

Matt 28:15 So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.

Matt 28:16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

Matt 28:17 And when they saw Him, they worshipped Him: but some doubted.

Matt 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto Me in heaven and earth.

Matt 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit:

Matt 28:20 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. A-men´.
