CHAP. XXVIII.
The resurrection of Christ.
His commission to his disciples.
1 And in the end of the
sabbath when it began
to dawn towards the first day
of the week, came Mary Magdalene,
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 terrour,
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 worshipped
him.
10 Then Jesus said to
them: Be not afraid. Go,
tell my brethren that they go
into Galilee, there they shall
see me.
11 Now when they were
departed, behold some of the
guards came into the city, and
told the chief priests all the
things that had been done.
12 And they being assembled
together with the ancients,
taking counsel, gave a
great sum of money to the
soldiers,
13 Saying: Say you, His
disciples came by night, and
stole him away when we were
asleep.
14 And if the governor
shall hear of this, we will
persuade him, and secure
you.
15 So they taking the money,
did as they were taught:
And this word was spread abroad
among the Jews even
unto this day.
16 And the eleven disciples,
went into Galilee, unto the
mountain where Jesus had
appointed them.
17 And seeing him they
adored: but some doubted.

18 And Jesus coming
spoke to them, saying:
note All power is given
to me in heaven and in
earth.
19 Go ye therefore and
teach all nations: baptizing
them in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of
the Holy Ghost,
20 Teaching them to observe
all things whatsoever I
have commanded you: and
behold I am with you all
days, even to the consummation
of the world.
