VI.—The Risen Life.
note
1 After the Sabbath, as the first day of the week
began to dawn, Mary of Magdala and the other
Mary had gone to look at the grave,
2 when suddenly
a great earthquake occurred. For an angel of the Lord
descended from Heaven, and came and rolled away the
stone, and seated himself upon it.
3 His appearance was as
-- --
dazzling as lightning, and his clothing was as white as snow;
and,
4 in their terror of him, the men on guard trembled violently
and became like dead men.
5 But the angel, addressing the
women, said:
“You need not be afraid. I know that it is Jesus, who was
crucified, for whom you are looking.
6 He is not here; for he
has risen, as he said he would. Come, and see the place
where he was lying;
7 and then go quickly and say to his
disciples ‘He has risen from the dead, and is going before
you into Galilee; there you will see him.’ Remember, I
have told you.”
8 On this they left the tomb quickly, in awe and great joy, and ran
to tell the news to the disciples.
9 Suddenly Jesus met them.
“Welcome!” he said.
The women went up to him, and clasped his feet, bowing to
the ground before him. Then Jesus said to them:
10 “Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to set out for
Galilee, and they shall see me there.”
11 While they were still on their way, some of the guard came
into the city, and reported to the Chief Priests everything that
had happened.
12 So they and the Councillors met and, after
holding a consultation, gave a large sum of money to the
soldiers,
13 and told them to say that his disciples came in the
night, and stole him while they were asleep;
14 “and should
this matter come before the Governor,” they added, “we will
satisfy him, and see that you have nothing to fear.”
15 So the soldiers took the money, and did as they were
instructed. ⪆⪆And this story has been current among the
Jews from that day to this.
note
16 The eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the
mountain where Jesus told them to meet him;
and,
17 when they saw him, they bowed to the
ground before him; although some felt doubtful.
18 Then Jesus came up, and spoke to them thus:
“All authority in heaven and on the earth has been given to
me. note
19 Therefore go and make disciples of all the nations,
baptizing them into the Faith of the Father, the Son, and the
Holy Spirit,
20 and teaching them to lay to heart all the commands
that I have given you; and, remember, I myself am
with you every day until the close of the age.”
