Matthew 28
Wycliffe's Bible
1But in (the hour after) the eventide of the sabbath, (or of the holiday), that beginneth to shine in the first day of the week (that beginneth to shine on the first day of the week), Mary Magdalene came, and another Mary, to see the sepulchre. 2And lo! there was made a great earth-shaking; for the angel of the Lord came down from heaven, and nighed, and turned away the stone, and sat thereon. (And lo! there was a great earthquake; for the angel of the Lord came down from heaven, and approached, and rolled away the stone, and then sat on it.) 3And his looking was as lightning, and his clothes (were as) [white] as snow; 4and for dread of him the keepers were afeared, and they were made as dead men. (and the guards were greatly afraid of him, and they were made like dead men.) 5But the angel answered, and said to the women, Do not ye dread (Do not fear), for I know that ye seek Jesus, that was crucified; 6he is not here, for he is risen, as he said (he would be); come ye, and see ye the place, where the Lord was laid. 7And (now) go ye soon, and say ye to his disciples, that he is risen. And lo! he shall go before you into Galilee; there ye shall see him. Lo! I have before-said to you.

8And they went out soon from the burials, (or from the sepulchre), with dread, and great joy, running to tell to his disciples. (And they went out quickly from the tomb, with fear, and reverence, and great joy, running to tell his disciples.) 9And lo! Jesus met them, and said, Hail ye. And they nighed, (or they came to him), and held his feet, and worshipped him. 10Then Jesus said to them, Do not ye dread (Do not fear); go ye, tell ye to my brethren, that they (should) go into Galilee; there they shall see me.

11And when they were gone, lo! some of the keepers came into the city, and told to the princes of (the) priests, all things that were done. (And when they were gone, lo! some of the guards came into the city, and told the high priests, all the things that were done/everything that had happened.) 12And when they were gathered together with the elder men, and had taken their counsel, they gave to the knights much money, (And when they were gathered together with the elders, and had made their plan, they gave the soldiers a lot of money,) 13and said, Say ye, that his disciples came by night, and have stolen him, while ye slept. 14And if this be heard of the justice, (or of the president), we shall counsel him, and make you secure. (And if this be heard by the Governor, we shall talk with him, and keep you safe.) 15And when the money was taken, they did, as they were taught (they did, as they were told). And this word is published among the Jews, till into this day.

16And the eleven disciples went into Galilee, into an hill (up onto a hill), where Jesus had ordained to them. 17And they saw him, and worshipped (him); but some of them doubted. 18And Jesus came nigh, and spake to them, and said, All power in heaven and in earth is given to me. 19Therefore go ye, and teach all folks, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost; (And so go, and teach all the nations and all the peoples, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit;) 20teaching them to keep all (the) things, whatever things I have commanded to you (teaching them to obey everything, whatever I have commanded you); and lo! I am with you in all (the) days, into the end of the world.
