And when the sabbath had passed, Mary Magdalena, and Mary [fn] of James, and Salome, bought aromatics, that they might come and anoint him. ² And in the morning of the first day of the week, they came to the sepulchre as the sun arose.³ And they said among them. selves: Who will roll back for us the stone from the door of the sepulchre?⁴ And they looked, and saw that the stone was rolled away; for it was very great.⁵ And entering the sepulchre, they saw a youth sitting on the right hand, and clothed in a white robe: and they were in perturbation.⁶ But he said to them: Be not affrighted. Ye are seeking Jesus the Nazarean, who was crucified. He is risen; he is not here. Behold the place where he was laid.⁷ But go, tell his disciples and Cephas: Lo, he precedeth you into Galilee; there will ye see him, as he said to you.⁸ And when they heard, they fled and left the sepulchre; for astonishment and trembling had seized them; and they said nothing to any one, for they were in fear.

⁹ And in the morning of the first day of the week, he arose; and he appeared first to Mary Magdalena, from whom he had cast out seven demons.¹⁰ And she went and told them that had been with him, while they were mourning and weeping.¹¹ And they, when they heard [fn] say that he was alive, and that he had appeared to them, did not believe them. ¹² After this he appeared, under another aspect, to two of them as they walked and went into the country.¹³ And these went and told the rest; but they would not believe them

¹⁴ And at last, he appeared to the eleven: as they reclined at table; and he reproved the slenderness of their faith, and the hardness of their heart; because they believed not those who had seen him actually risen.¹⁵ And he said to them: Go ye into all the world, and proclaim my tidings in the whole creation.¹⁶ He that believeth, and is baptized, liveth; but he that believeth not, is condemned.¹⁷ And these signs shall attend them that believe: In my name, they will cast out demons; and in new tongues will they speak.¹⁸ And they will take up serpents; and if they should drink a deadly poison, it will not harm them; and they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will be healed.

¹⁹ And Jesus, our Lord, after he had conversed with them, ascended to heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.²⁰ And they went forth, and preached everywhere: and our Lord aided them, and confirmed their discourses by the signs which they wrought.
