¹ Now after 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 had been a great earthquake, and an angel of the Lord descending from heaven, had come and rolled away 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 guards trembled, and became as dead men.⁵ But the angel answering said to the women, Fear not ye; for I know 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 the disciples, that he is risen from the dead. And behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him.⁸ Lo, I have told you. And departing quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy they ran to tell his disciples.⁹ And behold Jesus met them and said, Hail. And they came, and took hold of his feet and worshiped him.¹⁰ Then saith Jesus to them, Fear not. Go tell my brethren to go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

¹¹ While they were going, behold some of the guard coming into the city, told the chief priests all the things that had been done.¹² And having met together with the elders and taken counsel, they gave large mony to the soldiers,¹³ Saying, Say his disciples came by night, and stole him while we slept.¹⁴ And if this come to the governour'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 till this day.

¹⁶ Then the eleven disciples went into Galilee to the mountain where Jesus had appointed them.¹⁷ And when they saw him they worshiped him, tho' some had doubted.¹⁸ And Jesus came and spake to them, saying, All power is given me in heaven and in earth.¹⁹ Go ye and disciple 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 to the end of the world.
