1And when the Sabbath was past, Mary the Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought aromatic spices, so that having come they might anoint him. 2And very early on the first of the sabbaths, they come to the tomb, the sun having risen. 3And they were saying to themselves, “Who will roll away for us the stone from the door of the tomb?” 4And looking up, they see that the stone has been rolled away; for it was very large. 5And entering into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a white robe, and they were utterly amazed. 6But he says to them, “Do not be utterly amazed. You seek Jesus the Nazarene, the crucified one. He is risen! He is not here. Look, the place where they laid him. 7But go, say to his disciples and to Peter that he goes before you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he said to you.” 8And going out quickly, they fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had seized them. And they said nothing to no one, for they were afraid. [[But all the things commanded them they briefly reported to those around Peter. And after these things, Jesus himself also sent out through them from east to west the sacred and imperishable proclamation of eternal salvation. Amen.]] 9[[Now having risen early on the first of the sabbath, he appeared first to Mary the Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons. 10She, having gone, reported to those who had been with him, mourning and weeping. 11And they, having heard that he is alive and was seen by her, disbelieved. 12And after these things he was manifested in another form to two of them as they walked, going into the country. 13And they, going away, reported to the rest; neither did they believe them. 14Afterward, to the eleven themselves as they reclined at table, he was manifested, and he rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen him raised from the dead. 15And he said to them, “Going into all the cosmos, proclaim the gospel to all the creation. 16He who believes and is baptized will be saved, but he who disbelieves will be condemned. 17And these signs will accompany those who have believed: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18they will take up serpents in their hands, and if they drink anything deadly, it will in no way hurt them; they will lay hands upon the sick, and they will be well.” 19So then the Lord Jesus, after speaking to them, was taken up into heaven and sat at the right hand of God. 20And they, going forth, preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.]]
