## 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."
