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.
