1 ¶ Now well along on the sabbath, as it began to dawn on the first of the sabbaths, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

2 A nd, 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 H is countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow;

4 a nd for fear of him the guards shook and became as dead men.

5 A nd the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye, for I know that ye seek Jesus, who was crucified.

6 H e is not here, for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

7 A nd go quickly and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goes before you into Galilee; there ye shall see him; behold, I have told you.

8 A nd they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy and ran to bring his disciples word.

9 A nd as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, Receive joy. And they came and held him by the feet and worshipped him.

10 T hen Jesus said unto them, Be not afraid; go tell my brothers that they may go into Galilee, and there they shall see me.

11 ¶ Now when they were going, behold, some of the guard came into the city and reported unto the chief priests all the things that were done.

12 A nd when they were assembled with the elders and had taken counsel, they gave a large amount of money to the soldiers,

13 s aying, Say ye, His disciples came by night and stole him away while we slept.

14 A nd if this comes to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him and make you secure.

15 S o 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 the mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

17 A nd when they saw him, they worshipped him; but some doubted.

18 A nd Jesus came and spoke unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

19 G o ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

20 t eaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you; and, behold, I am with you always even unto the end of the age. Amen.
