1: 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: 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: His appearance was as lightning, and his raiment white as snow: 4: and for fear of him the watchers did quake, 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, who hath been crucified. 6: He is not here; for he is risen, even as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. 7: 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: And they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring his disciples word. 9: And behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and took hold of his feet, and worshipped him. 10: Then saith Jesus unto them, Fear not: go tell my brethren that they depart into Galilee, and there shall they see me. 11: 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: And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave much 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 rid you of care. 15: 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: But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, unto the mountain where Jesus had appointed them. 17: And when they saw him, they worshipped [him]; but some doubted. 18: And Jesus came to them and spake unto them, saying, All authority hath been given unto me in heaven and on earth. 19: 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: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.
