Matthew 28:10–20

¹⁰Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid; ^ygo and tell ^zmy brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me.”

The Report of the Guard

¹¹While they were going, behold, some of ^athe guard went into the city and told the chief priests all that had taken place. ¹²And when they had assembled with the elders and taken counsel, they gave a sufficient sum of money to the soldiers ¹³and said, “Tell people, ^b‘His disciples came by night and stole him away while we were asleep.’ ¹⁴And if this comes to ^cthe governor’s ears, we will ^dsatisfy him and keep you out of trouble.” ¹⁵So they took the money and did as they were directed. And this story has been spread among the Jews ^eto this day.

The Great Commission

¹⁶Now the eleven disciples ^fwent to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. ¹⁷And when they saw him they ^gworshiped him, but some doubted. ¹⁸And Jesus came and said to them, ^h“All authority ⁱin heaven and on earth has been given to me. ^19jGo therefore and ^kmake disciples of ^lall nations, ^jbaptizing them ^min^{2 n}the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, ²⁰teaching them ^oto observe all that ^pI have commanded you. And behold, ^qI am with you always, to ^rthe end of the age.”
