The
Story of the Resurrection
In
the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward
the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and
the other Mary to see the sepulchre. And, behold,
there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the
Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled
back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. His
countenance was like lightning, and his raiment
white as snow: And for fear of him the keepers did
shake, and became as dead men. And the angel
answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for
I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He
is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see
the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and
tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead;
and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee;
there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you. And
they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear
and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples
word. And as they went to tell his disciples,
behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they
came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.
Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell
my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there
shall they see me.
