1At the end of the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came down to see the sepulcher, when lo! 2There had been a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord had come down from heaven, and gone and rolled away the stone, and was sitting upon it. 3His appearance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow. 4The guards trembled for fear of him, and became like dead men. 5But to the women the angel said. "You need have no fear, for I know that you are seeking Jesus, the Crucified One. 6He is not here; for he is risen, even as he said. Come, see the place where the Master was lying! 7And go quickly and tell his disciples. ‘He is risen from the dead; he goes before you into Galilee; you will see him there.’ Remember, I have told you." 8On this they ran quickly from the sepulcher, in fear and great joy, to tell the news to his disciples. 9And behold! Jesus himself met them, saying, "All hail!" And they went up to him and clasped his feet and worshiped him. 10Then Jesus said to them. "Fear not! Go tell my brothers to depart into Galilee, and they will see men there."¶ 11Now while they were on their way, some of the guard went into the city and told the high priest all that had happened. 12And when they had met with the elders and conferred together, they heavily bribed the soldiers and told them to say, 13"His disciples came by night and stole him away, while we were asleep." 14"If this should reach the Governor’s ears," they said, "we will satisfy him and screen you from punishment." 15So the soldiers took the money, and did as they were told; and this story has been noised abroad among the Jews, and continues to this day.¶ 16But the eleven disciples went away to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had appointed them. 17And when they saw him they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18And Jesus came forward to them and spoke to them, saying. "All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. 19Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit; 20teaching them to observe every command which I have given you. and lo! I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world."¶
