The Resurrection 1Now after the sabbath, in the dawning towards the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, to look at the sepulchre: 2and behold, there had been a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descending from heaven, had come and rolled away the stone from the door, and was sitting upon it: 3(and his countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: 4and the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men:) 5and the angel said to the women, Be not ye afraid: for I know that ye seek Jesus who was crucified. 6He is not here, for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay: 7and go quickly, and tell his disciples that He is risen from the dead; and behold, He is going before you into Galilee; there ye shall see Him; lo, I have told you.
8And they went immediately from the sepulchre, with fear, and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples.
9And as they were going to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them and said, 10Then saith Jesus unto them, The Report of the Guards 11Now while they were going, behold some of the guard came into the city, and told the chief priests all that had happened:
12and they assembled with the elders, and taking counsel together gave the soldiers a large sum of money,
13saying, Do you say, that his disciples came by night, and stole Him away, while we were asleep.
14And if this should come to a hearing before the governor, we will satisfy him, and indemnify you.
15So they took the money, and did as they were instructed: and this is commonly reported among the Jews to this day. The Great Commission 16And the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
17And when they saw Him, they worshipped Him: but some doubted.
