1Early on Sunday morning, as the new day was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went out to visit the tomb.1After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb.
2Suddenly there was a great earthquake! For an angel of the Lord came down from heaven, rolled aside the stone, and sat on it.2Suddenly there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, rolled away the stone, and sat on it.
3His face shone like lightning, and his clothing was as white as snow.3His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow.
4The guards shook with fear when they saw him, and they fell into a dead faint.4The guards trembled in fear of him and became like dead men.
5Then the angel spoke to the women. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.5But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.
6He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen. Come, see where his body was lying.6He is not here; He has risen, just as He said! Come, see the place where He lay.
7And now, go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and he is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there. Remember what I have told you.”7Then go quickly and tell His disciples, ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see Him.’ See, I have told you.”
8The women ran quickly from the tomb. They were very frightened but also filled with great joy, and they rushed to give the disciples the angel’s message.8So they hurried away from the tomb in fear and great joy, and ran to tell His disciples.
9And as they went, Jesus met them and greeted them. And they ran to him, grasped his feet, and worshiped him.9Suddenly Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” They came to Him, grasped His feet, and worshiped Him.
10Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t be afraid! Go tell my brothers to leave for Galilee, and they will see me there.” The Report of the Guard10“Do not be afraid,” said Jesus. “Go and tell My brothers to go to Galilee. There they will see Me.”
11As the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and told the leading priests what had happened.11While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests all that had happened.
12A meeting with the elders was called, and they decided to give the soldiers a large bribe.12And after the chief priests had met with the elders and formed a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money
13They told the soldiers, “You must say, ‘Jesus’ disciples came during the night while we were sleeping, and they stole his body.’13and instructed them: “You are to say, ‘His disciples came by night and stole Him away while we were asleep.’
14If the governor hears about it, we’ll stand up for you so you won’t get in trouble.”14If this report reaches the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.”
15So the guards accepted the bribe and said what they were told to say. Their story spread widely among the Jews, and they still tell it today. The Great Commission15So the guards took the money and did as they were instructed. And this account has been circulated among the Jews to this very day.
16Then the eleven disciples left for Galilee, going to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go.16Meanwhile, the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain Jesus had designated.
17When they saw him, they worshiped him—but some of them doubted!17When they saw Him, they worshiped Him, but some doubted.
18Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth.18Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.
19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,
20 Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”20and teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
