1In the end of the sabbath, as it began to
dawn toward the first day of
the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to
see the sepulchre.
2And, behold, there was a great earthquake:
for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and
came and rolled back the stone from the door, and
sat upon it.
3His countenance was like lightning, and his
raiment white as snow:
4And for fear of him the keepers did shake,
and became as dead men.
5And the angel answered and said unto the
women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus,
which was crucified.
6He is not here: for he is risen, as he said.
Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
7And go quickly, and tell his disciples that
he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth
before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo,
I have told you.
8And they departed quickly from the sepulchre
with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his
disciples word.
9And as they went to tell his disciples,
behold, Jesus met them, saying, All
hail. And they came and held him by the feet,
and worshipped him.
10Then said Jesus unto them, Be
not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into
Galilee, and there shall they see me.
11Now when they were going, behold, some of
the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the
chief priests all the things that were done.
12And when they were assembled with the
elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money
unto the soldiers,
13Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by
night, and stole him away while
we slept.
14And if this come to the governor's ears, we
will persuade him, and secure you.
15So they took the money, and did as they
were taught: and this saying is commonly reported
among the Jews until this day.
16Then the eleven disciples went away into
Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed
them.
17And when they saw him, they worshipped him:
but some doubted.
18And Jesus came and spake unto them,
saying, All
power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19Go
ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them
in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of
the Holy Ghost:
20Teaching
them to observe all things whatsoever I have
commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto
the end of the world. Amen.
