XXVIII.

ND in the evening of the Sabboth which dawneth on the first of the Sabboth, came Marie Magdalene, and the other Marie ″ to see the sepulchre. And behold there was made a great earth-quake. For an Angel of our Lord descended from Heaven: and comming, roled back the stone, and sate upon it: and his countenance was as lightning, and his garment as snow. And for feare of him, the watchmen were frighted, and became as dead. And the Angel answering said to the women: Feare not you. For I know that you seeke that was crucified. He is not here, for he is risen, * as he said. Come, and see the place where our Lord was laid. And going quickly tel ye his Disciples that he is risen: and behold he goeth before you into Galilee: there you shal see him. Loe I have foretold you.

And they went forth quickly out of the monument with feare and great joy, running to tel his Disciples. And behold met them, saying: Al haile. But they came neere and tooke hold of his feet, and adored him. Then said to them: Feare not. Goe, tel my brethren that they goe into Galilee, there they shal see me.

Who when they were departed, behold certaine of the watchmen came into the citie, and told the chiefe Priests al things that had been done. And being assembled togeather with the Ancients, taking counsel, they gave a great summe of money to the souldiars, saying: Say you, that his Disciples came by night, and stole him away when we were asleep. And if the President shal heare of this, we wil persuade him, and make you secure. But they taking the money, did as they were taught. And this word was bruited abrode among the Jewes, even unto this day.

And the eleven Disciples went into Galilee, unto the mount where had appointed them. And seeing him they adored, but some doubted. And comming neere spake unto them, saying: Al power is given to me in Heaven and in earth. ″ going therfore teach ye al nations:, teaching them to observe al things whatsoever I have commanded you: and behold I am with you ″ al daies, even to the consummation of the world.✠ Rh
