The Resurrection

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.
