Tombs Tombs Tombs

After the sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning, Mary
Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. And suddenly
there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord, descending
from heaven, came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. His
appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. For
fear of him the guards shook and became like dead men.
But the angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid; I know that you
are looking for Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for he has
been raised, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. Then go
quickly and tell his disciples, 'He has been raised from the dead, and
indeed he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him.
' This is my message for you."
So they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy, and ran to tell
his disciples. Suddenly Jesus met them and said, "Greetings!" And
they came to him, took hold of his feet, and worshiped him. Then
Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to
go to Galilee; there they will see me."
While they were going, some of the guard went into the city and
told the chief priests everything that had happened. After the priests
had assembled with the elders, they devised a plan to give a large
sum of money to the soldiers, telling them, "You must say, 'His
disciples came by night and stole him away while we were asleep.
' If this comes to the governor's ears, we will satisfy him and keep you
out of trouble." So they took the money and did as they were directed.
And this story is still told among the Jews to this day.
Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which
Jesus had directed them. When they saw him, they worshiped
him; but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them, "All
authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and
make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father
and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey
everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with
you always, to the end of the age."
