EASTER 2009
Matthew 28:1-20 NIV
Matthew 28:1-20 NIV
After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene
and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.
(2)
There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from
heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. (3) His appearance was like lightning, and his
clothes were white as snow. (4) The guards
were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men. (5) The angel said to the women, "Do not be
afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. (6) He is not here; he has risen, just as he
said. Come and see the place where he lay.
(7)
Then 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.' Now I have told
you." (8) So the women hurried away from the tomb,
afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. (9) Suddenly Jesus met them. "Greetings," he said. They came to him,
clasped his feet and worshiped him. (10) Then
Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid. Go and tell
my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me." (11) While the
women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and reported to
the chief priests everything that had happened.
(12)
When the chief priests had met with the elders and devised a plan, they
gave the soldiers a large sum of money, (13) telling
them, "You are to say, 'His disciples came during the night and stole him
away while we were asleep.' (14) If this
report gets to the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of
trouble." (15) So the soldiers took the money and did as
they were instructed. And this story has been widely circulated among the Jews
to this very day. (16) Then the
eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to
go. (17) When they saw him, they worshiped him; but
some doubted. (18) Then 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 nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
(20) and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.
And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
