Matthew 28 :: Amplified Bible (AMP)

Jesus Is Risen!

(Mar 16:1–8; Luk 24:1–12; Jhn 20:1–10 )

Now after the Sabbath, near dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other [fn]Mary went to look at the tomb.

Mat 28:2

Mat 28:2And a great earthquake had occurred, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled away the stone [from the opening of the tomb], and sat on it.

Mat 28:3

Mat 28:3The angel’s appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were as white as snow.

Mat 28:4

Mat 28:4The guards shook, paralyzed with fear [at the sight] of him and became like dead men [pale and immobile].

Mat 28:5

Mat 28:5But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified.

Mat 28:6

Mat 28:6“He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said [He would]. Come! See the place where He was lying.

Mat 28:7

Mat 28:7“Then go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead; and behold, He is going ahead of you into Galilee [as He promised]. There you will see Him; behold, I have told you.”

Mat 28:8

So the women left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy, and ran to tell [the good news to] the disciples.

Mat 28:9

Mat 28:9And as they went, suddenly, Jesus met them, saying, “Rejoice!” And they went to Him and took hold of His feet [in homage] and worshiped Him [as the Messiah].

Mat 28:10

Mat 28:10Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid; go and tell My brothers to leave for Galilee, and there they will see Me [just as I promised].”

Mat 28:11

While they were on their way, some of the [Roman] guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had happened.

Mat 28:12

Mat 28:12And when the chief priests had gathered with the elders and had consulted together [to develop a plan of deception], they gave a sufficient sum of money [as a bribe] to the soldiers,

Mat 28:13

Mat 28:13and said, “You say this, ‘His disciples came at night and stole Him while we were sleeping.’

Mat 28:14

Mat 28:14“And if the governor (Pilate) hears about it, we will calm him down and keep you out of trouble.”

Mat 28:15

Mat 28:15So they took the money [they were paid for lying] and did as they were instructed; and this [fabricated] story was widely spread among the Jews, and is to the present day.

The Great Commission

(Mar 16:14–18; Luk 24:36–49; Jhn 20:19–23; Act 1:6–8 )

Mat 28:16

Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had designated.

Mat 28:17

Mat 28:17And when they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted [that it was really He].

Mat 28:18

Mat 28:18Jesus came up and said to them, “All authority (all power of absolute rule) in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.

Mat 28:19

Mat 28:19“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations [help the people to learn of Me, believe in Me, and obey My words], baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

Mat 28:20

Mat 28:20teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always [remaining with you perpetually—regardless of circumstance, and on every occasion], even to the end of the age.”
