| Chapter 28 |
1 |
And in the end of the sabbath, when it began to dawn towards the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalen and the other Mary, to see the sepulchre. --
|
2 |
And behold there was a great earthquake. For an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and coming, rolled back the stone, and sat upon it. --
|
3 |
And his countenance was as lightning, and his raiment as snow. --
|
4 |
And for fear of him, the guards were struck with terror, and became as dead men. --
|
5 |
And the angel answering, said to the women: Fear not you; for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. --
|
6 |
He is not here, for he is risen, as he said. Come, and see the place where the Lord was laid. --
|
7 |
And going quickly, tell ye his disciples that he is risen: and behold he will go before you into Galilee; there you shall see him. Lo, I have foretold it to you. --
|
8 |
And they went out quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy, running to tell his disciples. --
|
9 |
And behold Jesus met them, saying: All hail. But they came up and took hold of his feet, and adored him. --
|
10 |
Then Jesus said to them: Fear not. Go, tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, there they shall see me. --
|
11 |
Who when they were departed, behold some of the guards came into the city, and told the chief priests all things that had been done. --
|
12 |
And they being assembled together with the ancients, taking counsel, gave a great sum of money to the soldiers, --
|
13 |
Saying: Say you, His disciples came by night, and stole him away when we were asleep. --
|
14 |
And if the governor shall hear this, we will persuade him, and secure you. --
|
15 |
So they taking the money, did as they were taught: and this word was spread abroad among the Jews even unto this day. --
|
16 |
And the eleven disciples went into Galilee, unto the mountain where Jesus had appointed them. --
|
17 |
And seeing them they adored: but some doubted. --
|
18 |
And Jesus coming, spoke to them, saying: All power is given to me in heaven and in earth. --
|
19 |
Going therefore, teach ye 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 behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world. --
