THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ST. MATTHEW 28

Text size

1 In the end of the sabbath as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week 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 keepers did shake 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 which 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 goeth before you into Galilee there shall ye see him lo I have told you ⚑

8 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy and did run to bring his disciples word ⚑

9 And as they went to tell his disciples behold Jesus met them saying All hail And they came and held him by the feet and worshipped him ⚑

10 Then said Jesus unto them Be not afraid go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee and there shall they see me ⚑

11 Now when they were going behold some of the watch came into the city and shewed 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 large money unto the soldiers ⚑

13 Saying Say ye His disciples came by night and stole him away while we slept ⚑

14 And if this come to the g ernor’s ears we will persuade him and secure you ⚑

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 a mountain where Jesus had appointed them ⚑

17 And when they saw him they worshipped him but some doubted ⚑

18 And Jesus came and spake 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 Ghost ⚑

20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you and lo I am with you alway even unto the end of the world Amen ⚑
