¹Then, late on the Sabbaths, as it was dawning toward the first day of the week, Mary the Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.

²And behold, there was a great earthquake; for a messenger of the Lord, having descended out of heaven and having come, rolled away the stone from the door and was sitting upon it.

³Now his appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow.

⁴Now from fear of him those keeping guard trembled, and they were as dead men.

⁵Now answering, the messenger said to the women: Do not fear, you yourselves; for I know that you seek Jesus, the One crucified.

⁶He is not here; for He is risen, even as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord was lying.

⁷And having gone quickly, say to his disciples that He is risen from the dead; and behold, He goes before you into Galilee; there you will behold Him. Behold, I have told you.

⁸And having gone out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, they ran to tell his disciples.

⁹Now as they were going to report to his disciples, behold, Jesus met with them, saying: Greetings! And when they had come to Him, they took hold of His feet and worshiped Him.

¹⁰Then Jesus says to them: Do not fear; go, tell my brothers so that they may go into Galilee, and there they will behold Me.

¹¹Now as they were going, behold, some of the guard, having gone into the city, reported to the chief priests all the things having been done.

¹²And having been gathered together with the elders and having taken counsel, then they gave many silver pieces to the soldiers,

¹³saying: Say that his disciples, having come by night, stole Him while we were asleep.

¹⁴And if this shall be heard by the governor, we ourselves will persuade him and will keep you out of trouble.

¹⁵And having taken the money, they did as they were instructed. And this report is spread abroad among the Jews until the present day.

¹⁶And the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus assigned to them.

¹⁷And when they had seen Him, they worshiped him; some, however, doubted.

¹⁸And Jesus, having come to them, spoke to them, saying: All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on the earth.

¹⁹Therefore, having gone, disciple all the nations, immersing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

²⁰teaching them to observe all things as much as I commanded you; and behold, I myself am with you all the days until the completion of the age. Amen
