1: In 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. |
|
2: And, 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.
|
|
3: His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
|
|
4: And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
|
|
5: And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I
know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. |
|
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 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. |
|
8: And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy;
and did run to bring his disciples word. |
|
9: And 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.
|
|
10: Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that
they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me. |
|
11: Now 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. |
|
12: And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel,
they gave large money unto the soldiers, |
|
13: Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while
we slept. |
|
14: And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and
secure you. |
|
15: So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying
is commonly reported among the Jews until this day. |
|
16: Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain
where Jesus had appointed them. |
|
17: And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
|
|
18: And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying,
All power is given unto
me in heaven and in earth. |
|
19: Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of
the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: |
|
20: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:
and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. |
