New International Version | King James Bible |
1After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. | 1In 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. |
2There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. | 2And, 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. |
3His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. | 3His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: |
4The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men. | 4And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. |
5The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. | 5And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. |
6He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. | 6He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. |
7Then go quickly and tell his disciples: 'He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.' Now I have told you." | 7And 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. |
8So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. | 8And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word. |
9Suddenly Jesus met them. "Greetings," he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him. | 9And 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. |
10Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me." | 10Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me. |
11While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had happened. | 11Now 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. |
12When the chief priests had met with the elders and devised a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money, | 12And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers, |
13telling them, "You are to say, 'His disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep.' | 13Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept. |
14If this report gets to the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble." | 14And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you. |
15So the soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has been widely circulated among the Jews to this very day. | 15So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day. |
16Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. | 16Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. |
17When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. | 17And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted. |
18Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. | 18And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. |
19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, | 19Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: |
20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." | 20Teaching 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. |
