Now late on sabbath, as it was the dusk of the next day after sabbath, came Mary of Magdala and the other Mary to look at the sepulchre. |
2
|
And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of [the] Lord, descending out of heaven, came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it. |
3
|
And his look was as lightning, and his clothing white as snow. |
4
|
And for fear of him the guards trembled and became as dead men. |
5
|
And the angel answering said to the women, Fear not ye, for I know that ye seek Jesus the crucified one. |
6
|
He is not here, for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. |
7
|
And go quickly and say to his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and behold, he goes before you into Galilee, there shall ye see him. Behold, I have told you. |
8
|
And going out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, they ran to bring his disciples word. |
9
|
And as they went to bring his disciples word, behold also, Jesus met them, saying, Hail! And they coming up took him by the feet, and did him homage. |
10
|
Then Jesus says to them, Fear not; go, bring word to my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there they shall see me. |
11
|
And as they went, behold, some of the watch went into the city, and brought word to the chief priests of all that had taken place. |
12
|
And having assembled with the elders, and having taken counsel, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers, |
13
|
saying, Say that his disciples coming by night stole him [while] we [were] sleeping. |
14
|
And if this should come to the hearing of the governor, we will persuade him, and save you from all anxiety. |
15
|
And they took the money and did as they had been taught. And this report is current among the Jews until this day. |
16
|
But the eleven disciples went into Galilee to the mountain which Jesus had appointed them. |
17
|
And when they saw him, they did homage to him: but some doubted. |
18
|
And Jesus coming up spoke to them, saying, All power has been given me in heaven and upon earth. |
19
|
Go [therefore] and make disciples of all the nations, baptising them to the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit; |
20
|
teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have enjoined you. And behold, I am with you all the days, until the completion of the age. |
