| 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.
