- 1
- In the ende of the Sabbath, as it began to dawne towards the first day of the weeke, 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 heauen, and came and rolled backe the stone from the doore, and sate vpon it.
- 3
- His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snowe.
- 4
- And for feare of him, the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
- 5
- And the Angel answered, and said vnto the women, Feare not ye: for I know that ye seeke Iesus, which was crucified.
- 6
- He is not here: for he is risen, as hee said: Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
- 7
- And goe quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead.
And behold, hee goeth before you into Galilee, there shall ye see him: loe, I haue told you.
- 8
- And they departed quickly from the sepulchre, with feare and great ioy, and did run to bring his disciples word.
- 9
- And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Iesus met them, saying, All haile.
And they came, and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.
- 10
- Then said Iesus vnto them, Be not afraid: Goe tell my brethren that they goe into Galilee, and there shall they see me.
- 11
- Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the citie, and shewed vnto the chiefe Priests all the things that were done.
- 12
- And when they were assembled with the Elders, and had taken counsell, they gaue large money vnto the souldiers,
- 13
- Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.
- 14
- And if this come to the gouernours eares, wee will perswade him, and secure you.
- 15
- So they tooke the money, and did as they were taught.
And this saying is commonly reported among the Iewes vntill this day.
- 16
- Then the eleuen disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountaine where Iesus had appointed them.
- 17
- And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
- 18
- And Iesus came, and spake vnto them, saying, All power is giuen vnto me in heauen and in earth.
- 19
- Goe ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Sonne, and of the holy Ghost:
- 20
- Teaching them to obserue all things, whatsoeuer I haue commanded you: and loe, I am with you alway, euen vnto the end of the world.
Amen.
