1
Now in the end of the Sabbath, when the first day of ye weeke began to dawne, Marie Magdalene, and the other Marie came to see the sepulchre,
2
And behold, there was a great earthquake: for the Angel of the Lord descended from heauen, and came and rolled backe the stone from the doore, and sate vpon it.
3
And his countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snowe.
4
And for feare of him, the keepers were astonied, and became as dead men.
5
But the Angel answered, and said to the women, Feare ye not: for I know that ye seeke Iesus which was crucified:
6
He is not here, for he is risen; as he saide: come, see the place where the Lord was laid,
7
And go quickly, and tel his disciples that he is risen from ye dead: and behold, he goeth before you into Galile: there ye shall see him: loe, I haue told you.
8
So they departed quickly from the sepulchre, with feare and great ioye, and did runne to bring his disciples worde.
9
And as they wet to tel his disciples, behold, Iesus also met the, saying, God saue you. And they came, and tooke him by the feete, and worshipped him.
10
Then said Iesus vnto them, Be not afraide. Goe, and tell my brethren, that they goe into Galile, and there shall they see me.

12
And they gathered them together with the Elders, and tooke counsell, and gaue large money vnto the souldiers,

20
Teaching them to obserue all things, whatsoeuer I haue commanded you: and lo, I am with you alway, vntill the ende of the worlde, Amen.
(Mark 16:1–8; Luke 24:1–12; John 20:1–9)
1
Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.
2
Behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from the sky and came and rolled away the stone from the door and sat on it.
3
His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow.
4
For fear of him, the guards shook, and became like dead men.
5
The angel answered the women, “Don’t be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus, who has been crucified.
6
He is not here, for he has risen, just like he said. Come, see the place where the Lord was lying.
7
Go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has risen from the dead, and behold, he goes before you into Galilee; there you will see him.’ Behold, I have told you.”
8
They departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring his disciples word.
9
As they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Rejoice!” They came and took hold of his feet, and worshiped him.
10
Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Go tell my brothers (a) that they should go into Galilee, and there they will see me.”

The Report of the Guards

11
Now while they were going, behold, some of the guards came into the city and told the chief priests all the things that had happened.
12
When they were assembled with the elders and had taken counsel, they gave a large amount of silver to the soldiers,
13
saying, “Say that his disciples came by night and stole him away while we slept.
14
If this comes to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him and make you free of worry.”
15
So they took the money and did as they were told. This saying was spread abroad among the Jews, and continues until today.

The Great Commission

(Mark 16:14–18)
16
But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had sent them.
17
When they saw him, they bowed down to him; but some doubted.
18
Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.
19
Go (b) and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20
teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
