Matthew 28:7-14
New American Standard Bible
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.’
14And if this comes to the governor’s ears, we will appease him and keep you out of trouble.'
King James Version
Chapter 28
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.
