28:1 But in the eventide of the sabbath [Forsooth in the evening of the sabbath, or holiday], that beginneth to shine in the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene came, and another Mary, to see the sepulchre.
28:2 And lo! there was made a great earth-shaking; for the angel of the Lord came down from heaven, and approached, and turned away the stone, and sat thereon.
28:3 And his looking was as lightning, and his clothes as snow; [Soothly his looking was as lightning, and his clothes white as snow;]
28:4 and for dread of him the keepers were afeared, and they were made as dead men.
28:5 But the angel answered, and said to the women, Do not ye dread, for I know that ye seek Jesus, that was crucified;
28:6 he is not here, for he is risen, as he said; come ye, and see ye the place [come ye, and see the place], where the Lord was laid.
28:7 And go ye soon, and say ye to his disciples [And ye going soon, say to his disciples], that he is risen. And lo! he shall go before you into Galilee; there ye shall see him. Lo! I have before-said to you.
28:8 And they went out soon from the burials [And they went out soon from the sepulchre], with dread and great joy, running to tell to his disciples.
28:9 And lo! Jesus met them, and said [saying], Hail ye. And they approached, and held his feet, and worshipped him.
28:10 Then Jesus said to them, Do not ye dread; go ye, tell ye to my brethren, that they go into Galilee; there they shall see me.
28:11 And when they were gone [And when they had gone], lo! some of the keepers came into the city, and told to the princes of priests all things that were done.
28:12 And when they were gathered together with the elder men, and had taken their counsel, they gave to the knights much money,
28:13 and said, Say ye, that his disciples came by night, and have stolen him, while ye slept. [saying, Say ye, for his disciples came by night, and have stolen him, us sleeping.]
28:14 And if this be heard of the justice [And if this be heard of the president, or justice], we shall counsel him, and make you secure.
28:15 And when the money was taken, they did, as they were taught. And this word is published among the Jews, till into this day.
28:16 And the eleven disciples went into Galilee, into an hill, where Jesus had ordained to them [where Jesus had ordained them].
28:17 And they saw him, and worshipped; but some of them doubted.
28:18 And Jesus came nigh, and spake to them, and said, All power in heaven and in earth is given to me. [And Jesus coming to, spake to them, saying, All power is given to me, in heaven and in earth.]
28:19 Therefore go ye, and teach all folks, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost;
28:20 teaching them to keep all things, whatever things I have commanded to you; and lo! I am with you in all days, into the end of the world.
