Matthew 28:7-17

7 "Go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead; and behold, He is going ahead of you 1into Galilee, there you will see Him; behold, I have told you."
8 And they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy and ran to report it to His disciples.
9 And behold, Jesus met them and greeted * them. And they came up and took hold of His feet and worshiped Him.
10 Then Jesus said to them, "2Do not be afraid; go and take word to 3My brethren to leave 4for Galilee, and there they will see Me."
11 Now while they were on their way, some of 5the guard came into the city and reported to the chief priests all that had happened.
12 And when they had assembled with the elders and consulted * together, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers,
13 and said, "You are to say, 'His disciples came by night and stole Him away while we were asleep.'
14 "And if this should come to 6the governor's ears, we will win him over and keep you out of trouble."
15 And they took the money and did as they had been instructed; and this story was widely 7spread among the Jews, and is 8to this day.

The Great Commission

16 But the eleven disciples proceeded 9to Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had designated.
17 When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but 10some were doubtful.
