The Ministry Of Jesus. Matthew’s Gospel

The Resurrection.

At the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week,  Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the sepulchre. And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not: for I know that you seek Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here: for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell His disciples that Jesus has risen from the dead; and, behold, He goes before you into Galilee; there you shall see Him: lo, I have told you. And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy and did run to bring the word to His disciples. 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. Then Jesus said unto them, Be not afraid: go tell My brethren that they are to go into Galilee, and there shall they see Me. Matthew 28 vs 1-10

The Report of the Guards.

Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and showed unto the chief priests all the things that were done. And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers, Saying, Say that His disciples came by night, and stole Him away while we slept. And if this comes to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him, and secure you. So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day. Matthew 28 vs 11-15

The Great Commission.

Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. And when they saw Jesus, they worshipped Him: but some doubted. And Jesus came and spoke unto them, saying, All power is given unto Me in heaven and in the earth. Go you, therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.Matthew 28 vs 16–20
