Matthew 28:9-20 ▼

9 And behold, Jesus met them, and said to them, Peace be to you. And they came up and laid hold of his feet, and worshipped him.

10 Then Jesus said to them, Do not be afraid; but go and tell my brethren to go to Galilee, and there they shall see me.

11 When they were going, some of the guards came into the city, and told the high priests everything that had happened.

12 So they gathered with the elders and took counsel; and they gave money, not a small sum, to the guards,

13 Telling them, Say that his disciples came by night and stole him while we were sleeping.

14 And if this should be heard by the governor, we will appeal to him, and declare that you are blameless.

15 So they took the money, and did as they were instructed; and this word went out among the Jews, until this day.

16 The eleven disciples then went to Galilee to a mountain, where Jesus had promised to meet them.

17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him; but some of them were doubtful.

18 And Jesus came up and spoke with them, and said to them, All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Just as my Father has sent me I am also sending you.

19 Go, therefore, and convert all nations; and baptize them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit;

20 And teach them to obey everything that I have commanded you; and, behold, I am with you all the days, to the end of the world. Amen.
