1. Now late on sabbath, as it was the dusk of the next day after sabbath, came Mary of Magdala and the other Mary to look at the sepulchre.
2. And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord, descending out of heaven, came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it.
3. And his look was as lightning, and his clothing white as snow.
4. And for fear of him the guards trembled and became as dead men.
5. And the angel answering said to the women, Fear not ye, for I know that ye seek Jesus the crucified one.
6. He is not here, for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
7. And go quickly and say to his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and behold, he goes before you into Galilee, there shall ye see him. Behold, I have told you.
8. And going out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, they ran to bring his disciples word.
9. And as they went to bring his disciples word, behold also, Jesus met them, saying, Hail! And they coming up took him by the feet, and did him homage.
10. Then Jesus says to them, Fear not; go, bring word to my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there they shall see me.
11. And as they went, behold, some of the watch went into the city, and brought word to the chief priests of all that had taken place.
12. And having assembled with the elders, and having taken counsel, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers,
13. saying, Say that his disciples coming by night stole him while we were sleeping.
14. And if this should come to the hearing of the governor, we will persuade him, and save you from all anxiety.
