And the veil of the temple was rent in
twain from the top to the bottom.
And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried
out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God. There
were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene,
and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome; (Who also,
when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many
other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.
And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is,
the day before the sabbath, Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor,
which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto
Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus. And Pilate marvelled if he were already
dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been
any while dead. And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to
Joseph. And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in
the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and
rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre. And Mary Magdalene and Mary
the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.
And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of
James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and
anoint him. And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came
unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun. And they said among themselves,
Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre? And when
they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.
And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right
side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted. And he saith
unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified:
he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him. But go your
way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there
shall ye see him, as he said unto you. And they went out quickly, and fled
from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they
any thing to any man; for they were afraid.
Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to
Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils. And she went and
told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept. And they,
when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed
not.
After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked,
and went into the country. And they went and told it unto the residue: neither
believed they them.
Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided
them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not
them which had seen him after he was risen. And he said unto them, Go ye
into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that
believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall
be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name
shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall
take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt
them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into
heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. And they went forth, and preached
every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs
following. Amen.
