Matthew 27:64–28:10

TEXT EDITION
27:64Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.
27:65Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can.
27:66So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.
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.
28:9¶ And 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.
28:10Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.
