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. |
