Matthew 28
Bible in Basic English (BBE)
1 Ref Now late on the Sabbath, when the dawn of the first day of the week was near, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the place where his body was.
2 Ref And there was a great earth-shock; for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, rolling back the stone, took his seat on it.
3 Ref His form was shining like the light, and his clothing was white as snow:
4 Ref And for fear of him the watchmen were shaking, and became as dead men.
5 Ref And the angel said to the women, Have no fear: for I see that you are searching for Jesus, who was put to death on the cross.
6 Ref He is not here, for he has come to life again, even as he said. Come, see the Lord's resting-place.
7 Ref And go quickly and give his disciples the news that he has come back from the dead, and is going before you into Galilee; there you will see him, as I have said to you.
8 Ref And they went away quickly, with fear and great joy, to give his disciples the news.
9 Ref And on the way, Jesus came to them, saying, Be glad. And they came and put their hands on his feet, and gave him worship.
10 Ref Then said Jesus to them, Have no fear: go and give word to my brothers to go into Galilee, and there they will see me.
11 Ref Now, while they were going, some of the watchmen came into the town and gave news to the chief priests of all the things which had taken place.
12 Ref And when they had come together with those in authority, and had made their decision, they gave much money to the watchmen, saying,
13 Ref Say, His disciples came by night and took him away secretly while we were sleeping.
14 Ref And if this comes to the ruler's ears, we will see that he does not make you responsible.
15 Ref So they took the money, and did as they had been ordered: and this account has been current among the Jews till the present time.
16 Ref But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had given them orders to go.
17 Ref And when they saw him they gave him worship: but some were in doubt.
18 Ref And Jesus came to them and said, All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.
19 Ref Go then, and make disciples of all the nations, giving them baptism in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit:
20 Ref Teaching them to keep all the rules which I have given you: and see, I am ever with you, even to the end of the world.
