- 28In the end of the Sabbath day, as it began to dawn towards the first day of the week, early in the morning came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulcher. 2And behold, there had been a great earthquake, for two angels of the Lord descended from Heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. 3And their countenance was like lightning, and their raiment white as snow. 4And for fear of them, the keepers did shake and became as though they were dead. 5And the angels answered and said unto the women, Fear not, for we know that you seek Jesus who 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 goes before you into Galilee; there shall you see him. Behold, I have told you.
- 8And they departed quickly from the sepulcher 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. 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 showed unto the chief priests all the things that were done. 12And when they had assembled with the elders and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers, 13saying, Say: His disciples came by night and stole him while we slept. 14And if this come to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him and keep you out of trouble. 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 spoke unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in Heaven and on earth. 19Go 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 behold, I am with you always, unto the end of the world. Amen.
