28
1 Now after the second * Sabbath ·To cease· (Nissan 17), it was the first day of the week, (the day of First Fruits #1), and it was starting to dawn, Mary of Magdala [Rebellion of City tower] and the other Mary [Rebellion] came to see the tomb. 2 Behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of MarYah [Master Yahweh] descended from the sky, and came and rolled away the stone from the door, and sat on it. 3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. 4 For fear of him, the guards shook, and became like dead men. 5 †The angel answered the women, “Don’t be afraid, for I know that you seek Yeshua [Salvation], who was executed on the stake. 6 He is not here, for he has risen, just like he said. Come, see the place where the Master was lying. 7 Go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has risen from the dead, and behold, he goes before you into Galilee [District, Circuit]; there you will see him.’ Behold, I have told you.”
8 They departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring his disciples word. 9 As they went to tell his disciples, behold, Yeshua [Salvation] met them, saying, “Shalom ·Complete peace·!”
They came and took hold of his feet, and worshiped him.
10 Then Yeshua [Salvation] said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Go tell my brothers that they should go into Galilee [District, Circuit], and there they will see me.”
11 Now while they were going, behold, some of the guards came into the city, and told the chief priests all the things that had happened. 12 When they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave a large amount of silver to the soldiers, 13 saying, “Say that his disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept. 14 If this comes to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him and make you free of worry.” 15 So they took the money and did as they were told. This saying was spread abroad among the Jews [Praisers], and continues until today.
16 But the eleven disciples went into Galilee [District, Circuit], to the mountain where Yeshua [Salvation] had sent them. 17 When they saw him, they bowed down to him, but some doubted. 18 ‡Yeshua [Salvation] came to them and spoke to them, saying, §*“All authority has been †given to me in heaven and on earth. 19 ‡§*Go, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Abba ·Father· and of the Son and of Ruach haKodesh [Spirit, Breath of the Holiness], 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have enjoined unto you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen ·So be it·.
* 28:1 Note: Plural Sabbaths; the Greek word indicates two Sabbaths. There are mikra kodesh ·Rehearsal Holy, Convocation Holy· and there are Sabbath days. † 28:5 (5-7) MP: Messiah defeats and overcomes death; His resurrection is foretold. Also this action removes the reproach of God’s people, that is their sins. (Is 25:8) ‡ 28:18 . MP: Messiah comes for all people. (See also Is 42:4c). (Is 49:1a) § 28:18 . MP: Messiah is given authority over all nations and things. (Ps 2:8b, 8:5b-6) * 28:18 . MP: “Right Judgments” refers not to specific Torah Commands already given, but the whole power and authority of his role as King. This explains why the following verses describe how the Messiah rules. (Ps 72:2) † 28:18 . MP: Because of making his atonement offering, Messiah is greatly exalted by God and reaps rewards. (Is 53:12a) ‡ 28:19 . MP: Messiah will bring salvation to the ends of the earth. (Is 49:6) § 28:19 (19-20a) MP: Messiah will proclaim a message that is new to the Gentiles. (Is 52:15) * 28:19 a (+28:20a) MPr: The King in (Psalm 21:1) is King Messiah. (Targum Ps 21:1). This same King is linked to (Is 11:10), where Rabbi Chanina explains the objective of the Messiah. King Messiah is to give specific commandments to the Gentiles. This is in parallel contrast to Israel, who receives commands directly from God himself. (Midrash Ps 21:1 (Heb Bible 21:2)).
