Matthew 28:11-20

The Message Bible MSG

11 Meanwhile, the guards had scattered, but a few of them went into the city and told the high priests everything that had happened.

12 They called a meeting of the religious leaders and came up with a plan: They took a large sum of money and gave it to the soldiers,

13 bribing them to say, "His disciples came in the night and stole the body while we were sleeping."

14 They assured them, "If the governor hears about your sleeping on duty, we will make sure you don't get blamed."

15 The soldiers took the bribe and did as they were told. That story, cooked up in the Jewish High Council, is still going around.

16 Meanwhile, the eleven disciples were on their way to Galilee, headed for the mountain Jesus had set for their reunion.

17 The moment they saw him they worshiped him. Some, though, held back, not sure about worship, about risking themselves totally.

18 Jesus, undeterred, went right ahead and gave his charge: "God authorized and commanded me to commission you:

19 Go out and train everyone you meet, far and near, in this way of life, marking them by baptism in the threefold name: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

20 Then instruct them in the practice of all I have commanded you. I'll be with you as you do this, day after day after day, right up to the end of the age."

New International Version NIV

11 While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had happened.

12 When the chief priests had met with the elders and devised a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money,

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

14 If this report gets to the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.”

15 So the soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has been widely circulated among the Jews to this very day.

16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go.

17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted.

18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
