Read the Story

Very early on Sunday, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. There was a great earthquake. An angel rolled away the stone and sat on it. His face was like lightning. The guards shook with fear.

The angel said to the women, "Don't be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus, who has been crucified. He is not here, for he has risen, just like he said." The women hurried away with fear and great joy. Jesus met them, and they held His feet and worshiped Him.

Later, the eleven disciples met Jesus on a mountain in Galilee. Jesus said, "Go and make disciples of all nations." He told them to baptize people and teach them to obey Him. He promised, "I am with you always, even to the end of the age."

Matthew 28 · Grade 4

The Great Commission

Name Date

Read and Think

After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. A great earthquake shook the ground, and an angel of the Lord rolled back the stone and sat on it. The guards trembled and became like dead men. The angel told the women, "Don't be afraid... He is not here, for he has risen, just like he said. Come, see the place where the Lord was lying."

The women ran with fear and great joy to tell the disciples. Suddenly Jesus met them and said, "Rejoice!" They held His feet and worshiped Him. Meanwhile, the guards reported to the chief priests, who paid them to say the disciples had stolen the body.

The eleven disciples went to the mountain in Galilee. When they saw Jesus, they worshiped, but some doubted. Jesus came and said all authority in heaven and on earth had been given to Him. "Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."

Matthew 28 · Grade 5

All Authority

Name Date

Read and Think

Matthew 28 is the climax of the Gospel. The resurrection vindicates everything Jesus said and did. Matthew's account emphasizes eyewitnesses: the faithful women who saw where He was buried are the first to see the empty tomb and the risen Lord. In a culture that often dismissed women's testimony, their central role is a sign of the account's honesty.

The angel's words, "he has risen, just like he said," remind readers that Jesus had predicted this repeatedly. The bribed guards' story actually confirms that the tomb was empty; the only question was how. Matthew notes that some of the eleven doubted, another honest detail. Worship and doubt can exist side by side, and Jesus still drew near to them.

The Great Commission ties together Matthew's themes. The Son of Man, given all authority as Daniel 7 foretold, sends His followers to all nations, fulfilling God's promise to bless all nations through Abraham. Disciples are made by baptizing into the one name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and by teaching obedience. The Gospel that began with Immanuel, which means God with us, ends with Jesus' promise: "I am with you always."
