The Plot to Cover Up Jesus' Resurrection from the Tomb |
Matthew 28:1-20 The Gospel According to Matthew [in Smaller Chunks] |
[After the Sabbath's end,] as the 1st day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene & the other Mary came to see the [tomb.] And there was a great earthquake, & [saw,] the Angel of the Lord descended from heaven, & rolled back the stone, [a.k.a. boulder,] from the door & sat upon it. |
[The Angel's face,] was like lightning, & his [clothing] white as snow. And for fear of [the Angel,] the keepers, [a.k.a. guards, shook,] & became [like] dead men. |
And the Angel [responded] & said to the women, [Don't] you [be afraid:] for I know that you seek Jesus, [Who] was crucified. *He isn't here: for He Is risen, as He said. Come, & see the place where the Lord lay. |
[Matthew 17:22-23 *And while they [stayed] in Galilee, Jesus said to them, The Son of Man shall be betrayed into the hands of men: & they shall kill Him. *And the 3rd day, He shall be raised again.] |
And go quickly, & tell His disciples that He Is risen from the dead. [Psalm 16:9-10 Therefore, My heart is glad & [rejoices] [with] My glory. Also, My flesh shall rest in hope. *For You won't leave My soul in hell; & neither [will] You [allow] Your Holy One to see corruption.] |
And, [see,] He goes before you into Galilee, & you shall see Him there. [Look,] I have told you. And they departed quickly from the [tomb,] with fear & great joy; & [ran] to bring His disciples word. |
And as they went to tell His disciples, [saw,] Jesus met them, saying, All hail, [a.k.a. Rejoice.] And they came & held Him by the feet, & worshiped Him. Then, Jesus said to them, [Don't] be afraid. Go & tell My brethren, [so] that they go into Galilee, & they shall see Me there. |
Now, when they were going, [saw,] [that] some of the watch, [a.k.a. guards, went] into the city. And [they] [declared] to the chief priests, all the things that [happened.] |
And when they were assembled with the elders, & had [gotten advice,] they gave [a] large [amount of] money to the soldiers, saying, You, say, His disciples came [at] night, & stole Him away while we slept. |
And if this [comes] to the governor's ears, we will persuade him & [make] you secure. So, they took the money, & did as they were taught. And this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day. |
*Then, the 11 disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. And when they saw Him, they worshiped Him. [Mark 14:28 *But after that I Am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.] |
But some doubted. [Luke 24:38-40 And [Jesus] said to them, Why are you troubled? And why do thoughts arise in your hearts? [Look,] My hands & My feet, that it is I, Myself. Handle Me, & see; for a spirit [doesn't have] flesh & bones, as you see Me have.] |
*And Jesus came & spoke to them, saying, All power is given to Me in heaven & [on] earth. [Psalm 22:27-28 *All the ends of the world shall remember & turn to the Lord. And all the kindreds, [a.k.a. families,] of the nations shall worship before You. For the Kingdom is the Lord's: & He is the governor, [a.k.a. Ruler,] among the nations.] |
Therefore, you, go, & teach all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, & of the Son, & of the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe, [a.k.a. obey,] all things, [whatever] I have commanded you. And, [look,] I Am with you [always,] even [until] the end of the World. Amen. |
