¹ In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn towards the first [day] of the week, came Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary to see the sepulcher.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 trembled and became as dead [men].⁵ And the angel answered and said to the women, Fear ye not: for I know that ye seek Jesus, who 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 sepulcher, with fear and great joy; and ran to bring word to his disciples.⁹ And as they were going to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came, and held him by the feet, and worshiped him.¹⁰ Then said Jesus to 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 showed to the chief priests all the things that had been done.¹² And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers,¹³ Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him [away] while we slept.¹⁴ And if this shall come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you.¹⁵ So they took the money, and did as they were instructed: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.

¹⁶ Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.¹⁷ And when they saw him, they worshiped him: but some doubted.¹⁸ And Jesus came, and spoke to them, saying, All power is given to me in heaven and upon 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 Spirit.²⁰ Teaching them to observe all things whatever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, [even] to the end of the world. Amen.
