Matthew 28:5-15

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.
