Matthew 28

1And in the end of the sabbath, when it began to dawn towards the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalen and the other Mary, to see the sepulchre.

2And behold there was a great earthquake. For an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and coming, rolled back the stone, and sat upon it.

3And his countenance was as lightning, and his raiment as snow.

4And for fear of him, the guards were struck with terror, and became as dead men.

5And the angel answering, said to the women: Fear not you; for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified.

6He is not here, for he is risen, as he said. Come, and see the place where the Lord was laid.

7And going quickly, tell ye his disciples that he is risen: and behold he will go before you into Galilee; there you shall see him. Lo, I have foretold it to you.

8And they went out quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy, running to tell his disciples.

9And behold Jesus met them, saying: All hail. But they came up and took hold of his feet, and adored him.

10Then Jesus said to them: Fear not. Go, tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, there they shall see me.

11Who when they were departed, behold some of the guards came into the city, and told the chief priests all things that had been done.

12And they being assembled together with the ancients, taking counsel, gave a great sum of money to the soldiers,

13Saying: Say you, His disciples came by night, and stole him away when we were asleep.

14And if the governor shall hear this, we will persuade him, and secure you.

15So they taking the money, did as they were taught: and this word was spread abroad among the Jews even unto this day.

16And the eleven disciples went into Galilee, unto the mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

17And seeing them they adored: but some doubted.

18And Jesus coming, spoke to them, saying: All power is given to me in heaven and in earth.

19Going therefore, teach ye all nations; baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

20Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world.

1Vespere autem sabbati, quæ lucescit in prima sabbati, venit Maria Magdalene, et altera Maria, videre sepulchrum.

2Et ecce terræmotus factus est magnus. Angelus enim Domini descendit de cælo: et accedens revolvit lapidem, et sedebat super eum:

3erat autem aspectus ejus sicut fulgur: et vestimentum ejus sicut nix.

4Præ timore autem ejus exterriti sunt custodes, et facti sunt velut mortui.

5Respondens autem angelus dixit mulieribus: Nolite timere vos: scio enim, quod Jesum, qui crucifixus est, quæritis.

6Non est hic: surrexit enim, sicut dixit: venite, et videte locum ubi positus erat Dominus.

7Et cito euntes, dicite discipulis ejus quia surrexit: et ecce præcedit vos in Galilæam: ibi eum videbitis: ecce prædixi vobis.

8Et exierunt cito de monumento cum timore et gaudio magno, currentes nuntiare discipulis ejus.

9Et ecce Jesus occurrit illis, dicens: Avete. Illæ autem accesserunt, et tenuerunt pedes ejus, et adoraverunt eum.

10Tunc ait illis Jesus: Nolite timere: ite, nuntiare fratribus meis ut eant in Galilæam; ibi me videbunt.

11Quæ cum abiissent, ecce quidam de custodibus venerunt in civitatem, et nuntiaverunt principibus sacerdotum omnia quæ facta fuerant.

12Et congregati cum senioribus consilio accepto, pecuniam copiosam dederunt militibus,

13dicentes: Dicite quia discipuli ejus nocte venerunt, et furati sunt eum, nobis dormientibus.

14Et si hoc auditum fuerit a præside, nos suadebimus ei, et securos vos faciemus.

15At illi, accepta pecunia, fecerunt sicut erant edocti. Et divulgatum est verbum istud apud Judæos, usque in hodiernum diem.

16Undecim autem discipuli abierunt in Galilæam in montem ubi constituerat illis Jesus.

17Et videntes eum adoraverunt: quidam autem dubitaverunt.

18Et accedens Jesus locutus est eis, dicens: Data est mihi omnis potestas in cælo et in terra:

19euntes ergo docete omnes gentes: baptizantes eos in nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti:

20docentes eos servare omnia quæcumque mandavi vobis: et ecce ego vobiscum sum omnibus diebus, usque ad consummationem sæculi.

1Now on the morning of the Sabbath, when it began to grow light on the first Sabbath, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the sepulcher.

2And behold, a great earthquake occurred. For an Angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and as he approached, he rolled back the stone and sat down on it.

3Now his appearance was like lightning, and his vestment was like snow.

4Then, out of fear of him, the guards were terrified, and they became like dead men.

5Then the Angel responded by saying to the women: “Do not be afraid. For I know that you are seeking Jesus, who was crucified.

6He is not here. For he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where the Lord was placed.

7And then, go quickly, and tell his disciples that he has risen. And behold, he will precede you to Galilee. There you shall see him. Lo, I have told you beforehand.”

8And they went out of the tomb quickly, with fear and in great joy, running to announce it to his disciples.

9And behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Hail.” But they drew near and took hold of his feet, and they adored him.

10Then Jesus said to them: “Do not be afraid. Go, announce it to my brothers, so that they may go to Galilee. There they shall see me.”

11And when they had departed, behold, some of the guards went into the city, and they reported to the leaders of the priests all that had happened.

12And gathering together with the elders, having taken counsel, they gave an abundant sum of money to the soldiers,

13saying: “Say that his disciples arrived at night and stole him away, while we were sleeping.

14And if the procurator hears about this, we will persuade him, and we will protect you.”

15Then, having accepted the money, they did as they were instructed. And this word has been spread among the Jews, even to this day.

16Now the eleven disciples went on to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

17And, seeing him, they worshipped him, but certain ones doubted.

18And Jesus, drawing near, spoke to them, saying: “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.

19Therefore, go forth and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

20teaching them to observe all that I have ever commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, even to the consummation of the age.”
