Matthew 28:4-14

4 The guards were so terrified at him that they trembled and became like dead men.

5 But the angel said to the women, "Don't be afraid. I know you are looking for Yeshua, who was executed on the stake.

6 He is not here, because he has been raised -- just as he said! Come and look at the place where he lay.

7 Then go quickly and tell the talmidim, `He has been raised from the dead, and now he is going to the Galil ahead of you. You will see him there.' Now I have told you."

8 So they left the tomb quickly, frightened yet filled with joy; and they ran to give the news to his talmidim.

9 Suddenly Yeshua met them and said, "Shalom!" They came up and took hold of his feet as they fell down in front of him.

10 Then Yeshua said to them, "Don't be afraid! Go and tell my brothers to go to the Galil, and they will see me there."

11 As they were going, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the head cohanim everything that had happened.

12 Then they met with the elders; and after discussing the matter, they gave the soldiers a sizeable sum of money

13 and said to them, "Tell people, `His talmidim came during the night and stole his body while we were sleeping.'

14 If the governor hears of it, we will put things right with him and keep you from getting in trouble."
