And, late in the week, when it was on the point of dawning into the first of the week, came Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, to view the sepulchre.

And lo! a great commotion occurred, - for, a messenger of the Lord, descending out of heaven, and coming near, had rolled away the stone, and was sitting upon it.

Now his appearance, was, as lightning, and, his clothing, white as snow;

and, for fear of him, they who were keeping watch were thrown into a commotion, and became as dead men.

But the messenger, answering, said unto the women - Be not, ye, afraid! For I know that, Jesus the crucified, ye are seeking:

He is not here, for he hath arisen, as he said. Come! see the place where he lay;

And, quickly going, tell his disciples - He hath arisen from the dead, and lo! he is going before you into Galilee; - There, shall ye yourselves see him: Lo! I have told you.

And, departing quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, they ran to bring tidings unto his disciples.

And lo! Jesus, met them, saying - Joy to you! And, they, going forward, held his feet, and worshipped him.

Then, Jesus saith unto them - Be not afraid! Go your way, bear tidings unto my brethren, that they may depart into Galilee; and, there, shall they themselves see me.
