Jesus -
He Is Risen!
In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week,
came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. 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. His countenance
was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: And for fear of him the
keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye
seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said.
Come, see the place where the Lord lay. 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.
And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did
run to bring his disciples word. 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. Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren
that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.
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. And when they were
assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the
soldiers, Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while
we slept. And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and
secure you. So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying
is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.
Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus
had appointed them. And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some
doubted.
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven
and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name
of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 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. Amen. (Matthew 28:1-20)
