1 T he Day of Rest was over. The sun was coming up on the first day of the week. Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the grave.

Now late on the sabbath day, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

2 A t once the earth shook and an angel of the Lord came down from heaven. He came and pushed back the stone from the door and sat on it.

And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled away the stone, and sat upon it.

3 H is face was bright like lightning. His clothes were white as snow.

His appearance was as lightning, and his raiment white as snow:

4 T he soldiers were shaking with fear and became as dead men.

and for fear of him the watchers did quake, and became as dead men.

5 T he angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid. I know you are looking for Jesus Who was nailed to the cross.

And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye; for I know that ye seek Jesus, who hath been crucified.

6 H e is not here! He has risen from the dead as He said He would. Come and see the place where the Lord lay.

He is not here; for he is risen, even as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

7 R un fast and tell His followers that He is risen from the dead. He is going before you to the country of Galilee. You will see Him there as I have told you.”

And go quickly, and tell his disciples, He is risen from the dead; and lo, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.

8 T hey went away from the grave in a hurry. They were afraid and yet had much joy. They ran to tell the news to His followers.

And they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring his disciples word.

9 A s they went to tell the followers, Jesus met them and said hello to them. They came and held His feet and worshiped Him.

And behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and took hold of his feet, and worshipped him.

10 T hen Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell My followers to go to Galilee. They will see Me there.”

Then saith Jesus unto them, Fear not: go tell my brethren that they depart into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

11 W hile they were on their way, some of the soldiers who were to watch the grave came into the city. They told the head religious leaders everything that had happened.

Now while they were going, behold, some of the guard came into the city, and told unto the chief priests all the things that were come to pass.

12 T he soldiers gathered together with the other leaders and talked about what to do. The leaders gave much money to the soldiers.

And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave much money unto the soldiers,

13 T hey said, “Tell the people, ‘His followers came at night and took His body while we were sleeping.’

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

14 W e will see that you do not get into trouble over this if Pilate hears about it.”

And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and rid you of care.

15 T hey took the money and did as they were told. This story was told among the Jews and is still told today. Jesus Sends His Followers to Teach

So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying was spread abroad among the Jews, and continueth until this day.

16 T hen the eleven followers went to Galilee. They went to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go.

But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, unto the mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

17 W hen they saw Jesus, they worshiped Him. But some did not believe.

And when they saw him, they worshipped him; but some doubted.

18 J esus came and said to them, “All power has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.

And Jesus came to them and spake unto them, saying, All authority hath been given unto me in heaven and on earth.

19 G o and make followers of all the nations. Baptize them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Go ye therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit:

20 T each them to do all the things I have told you. And I am with you always, even to the end of the world.”

teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.
