Matthew 28:2-13
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 28
2And behold, a severe earthquake had occurred, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled away the stone, and sat upon it. 3And his appearance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. 4The guards shook from fear of him and became like dead men. 5And the angel said to the women, 'Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified. 6He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying. 7And go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead; and behold, He is going ahead of you to Galilee. There you will see Him; behold, I have told you.'
8And they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy, and ran to report to His disciples.
9And behold, Jesus met them and said, 'Rejoice!' And they came up and took hold of His feet, and worshiped Him.
10Then Jesus *said to them, 'Do not be afraid; go, bring word to My brothers to leave for Galilee, and there they will see Me.'
11Now while they were on their way, some of the men from the guard came into the city and reported to the chief priests all that had happened.
12And when they had assembled with the elders and consulted together, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers,
13and said, 'You are to say, ‘His disciples came at night and stole Him while we were asleep.’
King James Version
Chapter 28
2And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. 3His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: 4And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. 5And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. 6He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. 7And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you. 8And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word. 9And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him. 10Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.
11Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done.
12And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,
13Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.

Chapter 28
2There was a violent earthquake, because an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and approached the tomb. He rolled back the stone and was sitting on it. 3His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing was as white as snow. 4The guards were so shaken by fear of him that they became like dead men.
5The angel told the women, "Don’t be afraid, because I know you are looking for Jesus who was crucified.
6He is not here. For he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.
7Then go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has risen from the dead and indeed he is going ahead of you to Galilee; you will see him there.’ Listen, I have told you."
8So, departing quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, they ran to tell his disciples the news.
9Just then Jesus met them and said, "Greetings!" They came up, took hold of his feet, and worshiped him.
10Then Jesus told them, "Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to leave for Galilee, and they will see me there."
11As they were on their way, some of the guards came into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had happened.
12After the priests had assembled with the elders and agreed on a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money
13and told them, "Say this, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole him while we were sleeping.’
New Living Translation
Chapter 28
2Suddenly there was a great earthquake! For an angel of the Lord came down from heaven, rolled aside the stone, and sat on it. 3His face shone like lightning, and his clothing was as white as snow. 4The guards shook with fear when they saw him, and they fell into a dead faint.
5Then the angel spoke to the women. 'Don’t be afraid!' he said. 'I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.
6He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen. Come, see where his body was lying.
7And now, go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and he is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there. Remember what I have told you.'
8The women ran quickly from the tomb. They were very frightened but also filled with great joy, and they rushed to give the disciples the angel’s message.
9And as they went, Jesus met them and greeted them. And they ran to him, grasped his feet, and worshiped him.
10Then Jesus said to them, 'Don’t be afraid! Go tell my brothers to leave for Galilee, and they will see me there.'
11As the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and told the leading priests what had happened.
12A meeting with the elders was called, and they decided to give the soldiers a large bribe.
13They told the soldiers, 'You must say, ‘Jesus’ disciples came during the night while we were sleeping, and they stole his body.’

Come, see the place where he lay. 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.

13and said, "Tell people, ‘His disciples came by night and stole him away while we were asleep.’

2There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. 4The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.
5The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.
6He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.
7Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you."
8So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples.
9Suddenly Jesus met them. "Greetings," he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him.
10Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me."

13telling them, "You are to say, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep.’
