THE HOLY BIBLE Authorized King James

Matthew (Author Matthew)

27:55And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:

27:56Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children.

27:57When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:

27:58He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.

27:59And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

27:60And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.

27:61And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.

28:1In 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.

28:2And, 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.

28:3His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:

28:4And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.

28:5And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

28:6He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

28:7And 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.

28:8And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.
