Jesus

And there were there many women beholding from afar, who did follow Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him,

And evening having come, there came a rich man, from Arimathea, named Joseph, who also himself was discipled to Jesus,

he having gone near to Pilate, asked for himself the body of Jesus; then Pilate commanded the body to be given back.

saying, `Sir, we have remembered that that deceiver said while yet living, After three days I do rise;

command, then, the sepulchre to be made secure till the third day, lest his disciples, having come by night, may steal him away, and may say to the people, He rose from the dead, and the last deceit shall be worse than the first.'

and lo, there came a great earthquake, for a messenger of the Lord, having come down out of heaven, having come, did roll away the stone from the door, and was sitting upon it,

And the messenger answering said to the women, `Fear not ye, for I have known that Jesus, who hath been crucified, ye seek;

he is not here, for he rose, as he said; come, see the place where the Lord was lying;

and having gone quickly, say ye to his disciples, that he rose from the dead; and lo, he doth go before you to Galilee, there ye shall see him; lo, I have told you.'

And having gone forth quickly from the tomb, with fear and great joy, they ran to tell to his disciples;

and as they were going to tell to his disciples, then lo, Jesus met them, saying, `Hail!' and they having come near, laid hold of his feet, and did bow to him.

Then saith Jesus to them, `Fear ye not, go away, tell to my brethren that they may go away to Galilee, and there they shall see me.'

saying, `Say ye, that his disciples having come by night, stole him--we being asleep;

And the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mount where Jesus appointed them,

and having seen him, they bowed to him, but some did waver.

And having come near, Jesus spake to them, saying, `Given to me was all authority in heaven and on earth;

having gone, then, disciple all the nations, (baptizing them--to the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,

teaching them to observe all, whatever I did command you,) and lo, I am with you all the days--till the full end of the age.'

A beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, Son of God.

As it hath been written in the prophets, `Lo, I send My messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee,' --

`A voice of one calling in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, straight make ye his paths,' --

and he proclaimed, saying, `He doth come--who is mightier than I--after me, of whom I am not worthy--having stooped down--to loose the latchet of his sandals;

I indeed did baptize you with water, but he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit.'

And it came to pass in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John at the Jordan;

and immediately coming up from the water, he saw the heavens dividing, and the Spirit as a dove coming down upon him;
