| # Chapter 28
#### 1 | And in the end of the sabbath, when it began to dawn towards the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalen and the other Mary, to see the sepulchre.
#### 2 | And behold there was a great earthquake. For an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and coming, rolled back the stone, and sat upon it.
#### 3 | And his countenance was as lightning, and his raiment as snow.
#### 4 | And for fear of him, the guards were struck with terror, and became as dead men.
#### 5 | And the angel answering, said to the women: Fear not you; for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified.
#### 6 | He is not here, for he is risen, as he said. Come, and see the place where the Lord was laid.
#### 7 | And going quickly, tell ye his disciples that he is risen: and behold he will go before you into Galilee; there you shall see him. Lo, I have foretold it to you.
#### 8 | And they went out quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy, running to tell his disciples.
#### 9 | And behold Jesus met them, saying: All hail. But they came up and took hold of his feet, and adored him.
#### 10 | Then Jesus said to them: Fear not. Go, tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, there they shall see me.
#### 11 | Who when they were departed, behold some of the guards came into the city, and told the chief priests all things that had been done.
#### 12 | And they being assembled together with the ancients, taking counsel, gave a great sum of money to the soldiers,
#### 13 | Saying: Say you, His disciples came by night, and stole him away when we were asleep.
#### 14 | And if the governor shall hear this, we will persuade him, and secure you.
#### 15 | So they taking the money, did as they were taught: and this word was spread abroad among the Jews even unto this day.
#### 16 | And the eleven disciples went into Galilee, unto the mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
#### 17 | And seeing them they adored: but some doubted.
#### 18 | And Jesus coming, spoke to them, saying: All power is given to me in heaven and in earth.
#### 19 | Going therefore, teach ye all nations; baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
#### 20 | Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world.
