Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief




(Matthew 28:1-20)
"In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week,
came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
{2} And, 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.
{3} His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
{4} And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
{5} And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye:
for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
{6} He is not here: for he is risen, as he said.
Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
{7} And 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.
{8} And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.
{9} ¶ And 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.
{10} Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee,
and there shall they see me.

{11} ¶ Now 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. {12} And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers, {13} Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept. {14} And if this come to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him, and secure you. {15} So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.

{16} ¶ Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. {17} And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
{18} And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying,
All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
{19} ¶ Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
{20} Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:
and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.

Amen."
