¹ But in the euentid of the sabat, that bigynneth to schyne in the firste dai of the woke, Marie Mawdelene cam, and another Marie, to se the sepulcre.² And lo! ther was maad a greet ertheschakyng; for the aungel of the Lord cam doun fro heuene, and neiyede, and turnede awei the stoon, and sat theron.³ And his lokyng was as leit, and hise clothis as snowe;⁴ and for drede of hym the keperis weren afeerd, and thei weren maad as deede men.⁵ But the aungel answeride, and seide to the wymmen, Nyle ye drede, for Y woot that ye seken Jhesu, that was crucified;⁶ he is not here, for he is risun, as he seide; come ye, and se ye the place, where the Lord was leid.⁷ And go ye soone, and seie ye to his disciplis, that he is risun. And lo! he schal go bifore you in to Galilee; there ye schulen se hym.⁸ Lo! Y haue biforseid to you. And thei wenten out soone fro the biriels, with drede and greet ioye, rennynge to telle to hise disciplis.⁹ And lo! Jhesus mette hem, and seide, Heile ye. And thei neiyeden, and heelden his feet, and worschipiden him.¹⁰ Thanne Jhesus seide to hem, Nyle ye drede; go ye, `telle ye to my britheren, that thei go in to Galile; there thei schulen se me.

¹¹ And whanne thei weren goon, lo! summe of the keperis camen in to the citee, and telden to the princis of prestis alle thingis that weren doon.¹² And whanne thei weren gaderid togidere with the elder men, and hadden take her counseil, thei yauen to the kniytis miche monei, and seiden, Seie ye,¹³ that hise disciplis camen bi nyyt, and han stolen hym, while ye slepten.¹⁴ And if this be herd of the iustice, we schulen counseile hym, and make you sikir.¹⁵ And whanne the monei was takun, thei diden, as thei weren tauyt. And this word is pupplischid among the Jewis, til in to this day.

¹⁶ And the enleuen disciplis wenten in to Galilee, in to an hille, where Jhesus hadde ordeyned to hem.¹⁷ And thei sayn hym, and worschipiden; but summe of hem doutiden.¹⁸ And Jhesus cam nyy, and spak to hem, and seide, Al power in heuene and in erthe is youun to me.¹⁹ Therfor go ye, and teche alle folkis, baptisynge hem in the name of the Fadir, and of the Sone, and of the Hooli Goost;²⁰ techynge hem to kepe alle thingis, what euer thingis Y haue comaundid to you; and lo! Y am with you in alle daies, in to the ende of the world.
