Mat 28:6He is not here; for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay.
Mat 28:7Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. Lo, I have told you."

Mat 28:10Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid; go and tell my brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see me."

Mat 28:13and said, "Tell people, 'His disciples came by night and stole him away while we were asleep.'

Mat 28:20teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age."
