| 28:1 |
In the end of 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.
|
| 28:2 |
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.
|
| 28:3 |
His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment
white as snow:
|
| 28:4 |
And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became
as dead men.
|
| 28:5 |
And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear
not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was
crucified.
|
| 28:6 |
He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come,
see the place where the Lord lay.
|
| 28:7 |
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.
|
| 28:8 |
And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with
fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples
word.
|
| 28:9 |
And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus
met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by
the feet, and worshipped him.
|
| 28:10 |
Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my
brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they
see me.
|
| 28:11 |
Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch
came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all
the things that were done.
|
| 28:12 |
And when they were assembled with the elders, and had
taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,
|
| 28:13 |
Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and
stole him away while we slept.
|
| 28:14 |
And if this come to the governor's ears, we will
persuade him, and secure you.
|
| 28:15 |
So they took the money, and did as they were taught:
and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until
this day.
|
| 28:16 |
Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee,
into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
|
| 28:17 |
And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some
doubted.
|
| 28:18 |
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power
is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
|
| 28:19 |
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of
the Holy Ghost:
|
| 28:20 |
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have
commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto
the end of the world. Amen.
