| 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. |
