    What happens here

    Atlas's own reading, written from this chapter and nothing else, and published only once a person has approved it. Each scene names the verses it covers; the names inside it link to the people and places they name.

    The guards are paid to say the disciples stole Jesus while they were asleep—a remarkably confident report from unconscious witnesses.

    The stone and the living Lordvv. 1–10

    At dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary go to the tomb, where an earthquake supplies the morning’s first surprise. An angel rolls away the stone and sits upon it, while the guards become like dead men; the angel, meanwhile, is perfectly composed. The women are sent to tell the disciples that Jesus has gone ahead into Galilee, but Jesus meets them on the way, and they grasp His feet and worship Him.

    The official explanationvv. 11–15

    While the women hurry away, some guards report the whole extraordinary business to the chief priests. The priests meet with the elders, produce a large sum of money, and furnish the soldiers with a story in which sleeping witnesses somehow know that the disciples stole the body. The guards take the money and repeat it, and the account remains in circulation.

    The mountain in Galileevv. 16–20

    The eleven disciples go to the mountain Jesus had designated in Galilee. They worship Him, though some doubt, and both responses remain standing together. Jesus then speaks of authority in heaven and on earth, sends them to make disciples of all nations, and gives them the rather expansive task of baptizing and teaching to the end of the age.

    1. Matt 28:1After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb.

    2. Matt 28:2Suddenly there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, rolled away the stone, and sat on it.

    3. Matt 28:3His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow.

    4. Matt 28:4The guards trembled in fear of him and became like dead men.

    5. Matt 28:5But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.

    6. Matt 28:6He is not here; He has risen, just as He said! Come, see the place where He lay.

    7. Matt 28:7Then go quickly and tell His disciples, ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see Him.’ See, I have told you.”

    8. Matt 28:8So they hurried away from the tomb in fear and great joy, and ran to tell His disciples.

    9. Matt 28:9Suddenly Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” They came to Him, grasped His feet, and worshiped Him.

    10. Matt 28:10“Do not be afraid,” said Jesus. “Go and tell My brothers to go to Galilee. There they will see Me.”

    11. Matt 28:11While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests all that had happened.

    12. Matt 28:12And after the chief priests had met with the elders and formed a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money

    13. Matt 28:13and instructed them: “You are to say, ‘His disciples came by night and stole Him away while we were asleep.’

    14. Matt 28:14If this report reaches the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.”

    15. Matt 28:15So the guards took the money and did as they were instructed. And this account has been circulated among the Jews to this very day.

    16. Matt 28:16Meanwhile, the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain Jesus had designated.

    17. Matt 28:17When they saw Him, they worshiped Him, but some doubted.

    18. Matt 28:18Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.

    19. Matt 28:19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

    20. Matt 28:20and teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

    Who else the chapter reaches

    Names written in the English are linked in the text above. These are the ones that are not: an entity the Hebrew or Greek names under a spelling the translation does not use, or one reached only by an assertion about a verse of this chapter.

    Named in the Hebrew or Greek somewhere in this chapter, under a form the English renders differently — the registry's Ludim against the translation's Ludites — so there is no word in the sentence to hang the link on.

    Reached by an assertion Atlas extracted from a verse of this chapter rather than by a name written in it — a pronoun, a title, or a participant the sentence carries without naming. This layer is model-read and measured at 88.6–90.3% precision, and it is kept separate from the names above for that reason.
