Matthew, Chapter 28

1. In the later ende of the Sabboth day, whiche dawneth the first daye of the weke, came Marie Magdalen, and the other Marie, to see the sepulchre.    2. And behold, there was a great earthquake, for the Angell of the Lorde descended from heauen, and came and roulled backe the stone from the doore, and sate vponn it.    3. His countenaunce was lyke lyghtnyng, and his rayment white as snowe.    4. And for feare of him, the kepers were astonyed, and became as dead men.    5. The Angell aunswered, and sayde vnto the women, feare ye not: For I knowe that ye seke Iesus whiche was crucified.    6. He is not here, he is rysen, as he saide. Come, see the place where that the Lord was layde.    7. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is rysen agayne from the dead. And beholde, he goeth before you into Galilee, there shall ye see hym. Loe, I haue tolde you.    8. And they departed quickly from the sepulchre, with feare, and great ioy, and dyd runne, to bryng his disciples worde.    9. And as they went to tell his disciples, beholde, Iesus met them, saying: All hayle. And they came and helde him by the feete, and worshypped hym.    10. Then sayde Iesus vnto them: be not afrayde. Go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shal they see me.    11. When they were gone, beholde, some of the watche came into the citie, and shewed vnto the hye priestes all the thynges that were done.    12. And they gathered the together, with the elders, and toke councell, and gaue large money vnto the souldiers,    13. Saying. Saye ye, that his disciples came by nyght, and stole hym away while ye slept.    14. And yf this come to the deputies [eares] we wyll perswade hym, and saue you harmelesse.    15. So they toke the money, and dyd as they were taught. And this saying is noysed among the Iewes, vntyl this day.    16. Then the eleuen disciples went awaye into Galilee, into a mountayne, where Iesus had appoynted them.    17. And when they sawe hym, they worshypped hym: But some doubted.    18. And Iesus came, and spake vnto the, saying: All power is geuen vnto me in heauen and in earth.    19. Go ye therfore, and teache all nations, baptizing them in the name of the father, and of the sonne, and of the holye ghost:    20. Teachyng the to obserue all thynges, whatsoeuer I haue commaunded you. And loe, I am with you alway, euen vnto the ende of the worlde.
