Chronological

28 ¶ Now well along on the sabbath, as it began to dawn on the first of the sabbaths, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

² And, behold, there was a great earthquake, for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone from the door and sat upon it.

³ His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow;

⁴ and for fear of him the guards shook and became as dead men.

⁵ And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye, for I know that ye seek Jesus, who was crucified.

⁶ He is not here, for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

⁷ And go quickly and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goes before you into Galilee; there ye shall see him; behold, I have told you.

⁸ And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy and ran to bring his disciples word.

⁹ And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, Receive joy. And they came and held him by the feet and worshipped him.

¹⁰ Then Jesus said unto them, Be not afraid; go tell my brothers that they may go into Galilee, and there they shall see me.

¹¹ ¶ Now when they were going, behold, some of the guard came into the city and reported unto the chief priests all the things that were done.

¹² And when they were assembled with the elders and had taken counsel, they gave a large amount of money to the soldiers,

¹³ saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night and stole him away while we slept.

¹⁴ And if this comes to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him and make you secure.

¹⁵ So they took the money and did as they were taught, and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.

¹⁶ ¶ Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into the mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

¹⁷ And when they saw him, they worshipped him; but some doubted.

¹⁸ And Jesus came and spoke unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

¹⁹ Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

²⁰ teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you; and, behold, I am with you always even unto the end of the age. Amen.

16 ¶ And when the sabbath of the great feast of the passover was past, Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James, and Salome had bought sweet spices that they might come and anoint him.

² And very early in the morning the first of the sabbaths, they come unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.

³ And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?

⁴ And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away, for it was very great.

⁵ And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting to the right hand side, covered in a long white garment; and they were frightened.

⁶ But he said unto them, Do not be frightened; Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified; he is risen; he is not here; behold the place where they laid him.

⁷ But go tell his disciples and Peter that he goes before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him as he said unto you.

⁸ And they went out quickly and fled from the sepulchre, for they trembled and were amazed; neither said they any thing to anyone, for they were afraid.

⁹ ¶ Now as Jesus rose early the first of the sabbaths, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.

¹⁰ And she went and told those that had been with him, as they mourned and wept.

¹¹ And they, when they had heard that he was alive and had been seen of her, did not believe.

¹² After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked and went into the country.

¹³ And they went and told it unto the others, yet they did not believe them.

¹⁴ ¶ Finally he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at the table and upbraided them for their unbelief and hardness of heart because they did not believe those who had seen him after he was risen.

¹⁵ And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.

¹⁶ He that believes and is baptized shall be saved, but he that believes not shall be condemned.

¹⁷ And these signs shall follow those that believe: In my name they shall cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues;

¹⁸ they shall take away serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands upon the sick, and they shall be healed.

¹⁹ ¶ So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven and sat at the right hand of God.

²⁰ And they, going forth, preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word with the signs which followed them. Amen.
