[1]Now in the end of the Sabbath, when the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary came 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]And his countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow.
[4]And for fear of him, the keepers were astonished, and became as dead men.
[5]But the Angel answered, and said to the women, Fear ye not: for I know that ye seek Jesus which was crucified:
[6]He is not here, for he is risen; as he said: come, see the place where the Lord was laid,
[7]And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead: and behold, he goeth before you into Galilee: there ye shall see him: lo, I have told you.
[8]So they departed quickly from the sepulcher, with fear and great joy, and did run to bring his disciples word.
[9]And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus also met them, saying, God save you. And they came, and took him by the feet, and worshipped him.
[10]Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid. Go, and tell my brethren, that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.
[11]Now when they were gone, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and showed unto the high Priests all the things that were done.
[12]And they gathered them together with the Elders, and took counsel, and gave large money unto the soldiers,
[13]Saying, Say, His disciples came by night and stole him away while we slept.
[14]And if the governor hear of this, we will persuade him, and save you harmless.
[15]So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is noised among the Jews unto this day.
[16]Then the eleven disciples went into Galilee, into a mountain, where Jesus had appointed them.
[17]And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
[18]And Jesus came, and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven, and in earth.
[19]Go therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost,
[20]Teaching them to observe all things, whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you alway, until the end of the world, Amen.
