The Holy Gospel According to Matthew   28: 8-15

28:8 And they went out of the tomb quickly, with fear and in great joy, running to announce it to his disciples.
28:9 And behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Hail.” But they drew near and took hold of his feet, and they adored him.
28:10 Then Jesus said to them: “Do not be afraid. Go, announce it to my brothers, so that they may go to Galilee. There they shall see me.”
28:11 And when they had departed, behold, some of the guards went into the city, and they reported to the leaders of the priests all that had happened.
28:12 And gathering together with the elders, having taken counsel, they gave an abundant sum of money to the soldiers,
28:13 saying: “Say that his disciples arrived at night and stole him away, while we were sleeping.
28:14 And if the procurator hears about this, we will persuade him, and we will protect you.”
28:15 Then, having accepted the money, they did as they were instructed. And this word has been spread among the Jews, even to this day.
