| Chapter 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. -
|
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 did shake, and became as dead [men]. -
|
5 |
And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: 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 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 sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word. -
|
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. -
|
10 |
Then said Jesus unto 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 shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done. -
|
12 |
And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers, -
|
13 |
Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him [away] while we slept. -
|
14 |
And if this come to the governor'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 until this day. -
|
16 |
Then the eleven disciples went away 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 ye therefore, and teach 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 alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen. -
