⥃The Resurrection ^{[ Mark 16:1–8 † Luke 24:1–12 † John 20:1–9 ]}

[1] In the end² of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first [day] of the week, came Mary Magdalene³ and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. [2] And, behold, there⁴ was⁵ a great earthquake: for⁶ the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. [3] His countenance⁷ was like lightning, and his raiment⁸ white as snow: [4] And for fear of him the⁹ keepers did shake¹⁰, and became as dead [men]. [5] And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear¹¹ not ye: for I know that ye seek¹² Jesus, which was crucified. [6] He is not here: for he is risen, as¹³ he said. Come¹⁴, see the place where the Lord lay. [7] And go¹⁵ quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth¹⁶ before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo¹⁷, I have told you. [8] And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with¹⁸ fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.

[9] And as¹⁹ they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail²⁰. And they came and held²¹ him by the feet, and worshipped²² him. [10] Then said Jesus unto them, Be²³ not afraid: go²⁴ tell my²⁵ brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

⥃The Report of the Guards

[11] Now when they were going, behold, some²⁶ of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done. [12] And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,²⁷ [13] Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole²⁸ him [away] while we slept. [14] And if this come to the governor’s ears, we²⁹ will persuade him, and secure you. [15] So they took³⁰ the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until³¹ this day.

⥃The Great Commission ^{[ Mark 16:14–18 ]}

[16] Then the eleven³² disciples went³³ away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. [17] And when³⁴ they saw him, they worshipped³⁵ him: but³⁶ some doubted. [18] And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All³⁷ power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

[19] [¶]Go ye therefore³⁸, and teach all nations³⁹, baptizing⁴⁰ them in the name⁴¹ of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: [20] Teaching them⁴² to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am⁴³ with you alway, [even] unto⁴⁴ the end of the world. Amen⁴⁵.
