 ARGUMENT.

��Early on the first day of the week after the crucifixion, Mary Magdalen, and other holy women, go to the sepulchre of Jesus to embalm his body. They see two angels, who tell them that the Lord hath arisen. Jesus appears to Mary and bids her go tell the rest that he had risen from the dead. He also appears to two disciples going to Emmaus, unfolds to them the prophecies, and finally reveals himself to them in breaking bread. He subsequently appears to the other disciples, and commissions Peter to feed his entire flock.
