Matthew 28:1–20
28 Now aafter the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene band the other Mary came to see the tomb. 2 And behold, there was a great earthquake; for can angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone 1from the door, and sat on it. 3 dHis countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. 4 And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like edead men.
5 But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. 6 He is not here; for He is risen, fas He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. 7 And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed gHe is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you.”
8 So they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word.
The Appearance of Jesus to the Women
9 And 2as they went to tell His disciples, behold, hJesus met them, saying, “Rejoice!” So they came and held Him by the feet and worshiped Him. 10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell iMy brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see Me.”
11 Now while they were going, behold, some of the guard came into the city and reported to the chief priests all the things that had happened. 12 When they had assembled with the elders and consulted together, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers, 13 saying, “Tell them, ‘His disciples came at night and stole Him away while we slept.’ 14 And if this comes to the governor’s ears, we will appease him and make you secure.” 15 So they took the money and did as they were instructed; and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.
The Appearance of Jesus to the Disciples
16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain jwhich Jesus had appointed for them. 17 When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some kdoubted.
18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, l“All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 mGo 3therefore and nmake disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 oteaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am pwith you always, even to the end of the age.” 4Amen.
Mark 16:1–20
16 Now awhen the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bbought spices, that they might come and anoint Him. 2 cVery early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen. 3 And they said among themselves, “Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?” 4 But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away—for it was very large. 5 dAnd entering the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a long white robe sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed.
6 eBut he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him. 7 But go, tell His disciples—and Peter—that He is going 1before you into Galilee; there you will see Him, fas He said to you.”
8 So they went out 2quickly and fled from the tomb, for they trembled and were amazed. gAnd they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.
9 3Now when He rose early on the first day of the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, hout of whom He had cast seven demons. 10 iShe went and told those who had been with Him, as they mourned and wept. 11 jAnd when they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe.
12 After that, He appeared in another form kto two of them as they walked and went into the country. 13 And they went and told it to the rest, but they did not believe them either.
14 lLater He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen. 15 mAnd He said to them, “Go into all the world nand preach the gospel to every creature. 16 oHe who believes and is baptized will be saved; pbut he who does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these qsigns will follow those who 4believe: rIn My name they will cast out demons; sthey will speak with new tongues; 18 tthey 5will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; uthey will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
19 So then, vafter the Lord had spoken to them, He was wreceived up into heaven, and xsat down at the right hand of God. 20 And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them yand confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.
