## Jesus Is Risen! 

###### 1
Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first _day_ of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the grave. 

###### 2
And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it. 

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

###### 4
And the guards quaked from fear of him and became like dead men. 

###### 5
And the angel answered and said to the women, "Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified. 

###### 6
He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying. 

###### 7
And go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead; and behold, He is going ahead of you into Galilee, there you will see Him; behold, I have told you." 

###### 8
And they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy and ran to report it to His disciples. 

###### 9
And behold, Jesus met them and said, **"Greetings!"** And they came up and took hold of His feet and worshiped Him. 

###### 10
Then Jesus *said to them, **"Do not be afraid; go and report to My brothers to leave for Galilee, and there they will see Me."** 

###### 11
Now while they were on their way, behold, some of the guard came into the city and reported to the chief priests all that had happened. 

###### 12
And when they had assembled with the elders and took counsel together, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers, 

###### 13
and said, "You are to say, 'His disciples came by night and stole Him away while we were asleep.' 

###### 14
And if this is heard before the governor, we will win him over and keep you out of trouble." 

###### 15
And they took the money and did as they had been instructed; and this story was widely spread among the Jews, _and is_ to this day. 

## The Great Commission 

###### 16
But the eleven disciples proceeded to Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had designated. 

###### 17
And when they saw Him, they worshiped _Him_; but some doubted. 

###### 18
And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, **"All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.** 

###### 19
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 

###### 20
teaching them to keep all that I commanded you; and behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."
