| Chapter 28 |
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. --
