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. (28:1) com1 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 (28:2) His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: (28:3) And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead [men]. (28:4) And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. (28:5) He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. (28:6) 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. (28:7) And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word. (28:8) 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 (28:9) Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me (28:10) Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and showed unto the chief priests all the things that were done (28:11) And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers, (28:12) Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him [away] while we slept (28:13) And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you (28:14) So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day (28:15) Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them (28:16) And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted (28:17) And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. (28:18) 10 com2 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: (28:19) com3 Teaching 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
(28:20)
