1Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn on the first day of the week, Miriam Magdalene and the other Miriam came to see the tomb.

2Behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from the sky and came and rolled away the stone from the door and sat on it.

3His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow.

4For fear of him, the guards shook, and became like dead men.

5The angel answered the women, “Don’t be afraid, for I know that you seek Yeshua, who has been crucified.

6He is not here, for he has risen, just like he said. Come, see the place where the Lord was lying.

7Go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has risen from the dead, and behold, he goes before you into Galilee; there you will see him.’ Behold, I have told you.”

8They departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring his disciples word.

9As they went to tell his disciples, behold, Yeshua met them, saying, “Rejoice!” They came and took hold of his feet, and worshipped him.

10Then Yeshua said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Go tell my brothers ⁹³that they should go into Galilee, and there they will see me.”

11Now while they were going, behold, some of the guards came into the city and told the chief priests all the things that had happened.

12When they were assembled with the elders and had taken counsel, they gave a large amount of silver to the soldiers,

13saying, “Say that his disciples came by night and stole him away while we slept.

14If this comes to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him and make you free of worry.”

15So they took the money and did as they were told. This saying was spread abroad amongst the Judeans, and continues until today.

16But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain where Yeshua had sent them.

17When they saw him, they bowed down to him; but some doubted.

18Yeshua came to them and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.

19Go ⁹⁴and make disciples of all nations, immersing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

20teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
