28 But in the eventide of the sabbath [Forsooth in the evening of the sabbath, or holiday], that beginneth to shine in the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene came, and another Mary, to see the sepulchre.

And lo! there was made a great earth-shaking; for the angel of the Lord came down from heaven, and approached, and turned away the stone[a], and sat thereon.

And his looking was as lightning, and his clothes as snow; [Soothly his looking was as lightning, and his clothes white as snow;]

and for dread of him the keepers were afeared, and they were made as dead men.

But the angel answered, and said to the women, Do not ye dread, for I know that ye seek Jesus, that was crucified;

he is not here, for he is risen, as he said; come ye, and see ye the place [come ye, and see the place], where the Lord was laid.

And go ye soon, and say ye to his disciples [And ye going soon, say to his disciples], that he is risen. And lo! he shall go before you into Galilee; there ye shall see him. Lo! I have before-said to you.

And they went out soon from the burials [And they went out soon from the sepulchre], with dread and great joy, running to tell to his disciples.

And lo! Jesus met them, and said [saying], Hail ye. And they approached[b], and held his feet, and worshipped him.

10 Then Jesus said to them, Do not ye dread; go ye, tell ye to my brethren, that they go into Galilee; there they shall see me.
