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.
