Matthew 28:1-8 ▼

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 & roulled backe the stone from the doore, and sate vpon 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, se the place where that the Lord was layde.

7 And go quickly, & 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.
