Chronological
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.
2 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.
3 And his looking was as lightning, and his clothes as snow; [Soothly his looking was as lightning, and his clothes white as snow;]
4 and for dread of him the keepers were afeared, and they were made as dead men.
5 But the angel answered, and said to the women, Do not ye dread, for I know that ye seek Jesus, that was crucified;
6 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.
7 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.
8 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.
9 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.
11 And when they were gone [And when they had gone], lo! some of the keepers came into the city, and told to the princes of priests all things that were done.
12 And when they were gathered together with the elder men, and had taken their counsel, they gave to the knights much money,
13 and said, Say ye, that his disciples came by night, and have stolen him, while ye slept. [saying, Say ye, for his disciples came by night, and have stolen him, us sleeping.]
14 And if this be heard of the justice [And if this be heard of the president, or justice], we shall counsel him, and make you secure.
15 And when the money was taken, they did, as they were taught. And this word is published among the Jews, till into this day.
16 And the eleven disciples went into Galilee, into an hill, where Jesus had ordained to them [where Jesus had ordained them].
17 And they saw him, and worshipped; but some of them doubted.
18 And Jesus came nigh, and spake to them, and said, All power in heaven and in earth is given to me. [And Jesus coming to, spake to them, saying, All power is given to me, in heaven and in earth.]
19 Therefore go ye, and teach all folks, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost;
20 teaching them to keep all things, whatever things I have commanded to you; and lo! I am with you in all days, into the end of the world.[c]
16 And when the sabbath was passed, Mary Magdalene, and Mary of James, and Salome bought sweet smelling ointments, to come and to anoint Jesus [that they coming should anoint Jesus].
2 And full early in one of the week days, they came to the sepulchre, when the sun was risen.
3 And they said together, Who shall move away to us the stone from the door of the sepulchre? [And they said together, Who shall turn away to us the stone from the door of the sepulchre?]
4 And they beheld, and saw the stone wallowed away, for it was full great.
5 And they went into the sepulchre, and saw a youngling, covered with a white stole, sitting at the right half; and they were afeared.[a]
6 Which saith to them, Do not ye dread; ye seek Jesus of Nazareth crucified; he is risen, he is not here; lo! the place where they laid him.
7 But go ye, and say to his disciples, and to Peter, that he shall go before you into Galilee; there ye shall see him, as he said to you.
8 And they went out, and fled from the sepulchre; for dread and quaking had assailed them [for trembling and dread had assailed them], and to no man they said any thing, for they dreaded.
9 And Jesus rose early the first day of the week, and appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven devils [of whom he had cast out seven devils].
10 And she went, and told to them that had been with him, which were wailing and weeping. [She going told to them mourning and weeping, that were with him.]
11 And they hearing that he lived, and was seen of her, believed not.
12 But after these things when twain of them wandered, he was showed in another likeness to them going into a town.[b]
13 And they went, and told to the others, and neither they believed to them. [And they going told to others, neither they believed to them.]
14 But after at the last, when the eleven sat at the meat, Jesus appeared to them, and reproved the unbelief of them, and the hardness of heart, for they believed not to them, that had seen that he was risen from death [for they believed not to these, that had seen him to have risen from dead].
15 And he said to them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to each creature.
16 Who that believeth, and is baptized, shall be safe; but he that believeth not, shall be condemned.[c]
17 And these tokens shall follow them [Forsooth these signs shall follow them], that believe. In my name they shall cast out fiends; they shall speak with new tongues;
18 they shall do away serpents; and if they drink any venom, it shall not harm them. They shall set their hands on sick men, and they shall wax whole.[d]
19 And the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and he sitteth on the right half of God [and sitteth on the right half of God].
20 And they went forth, and preached every where, for the Lord wrought with them, and confirmed the word with signs following. [Soothly they gone forth preached every where, the Lord working with, and confirming the word with signs following.]
