IN 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 at the rising of the sun. They came bringing the sweet spices which they, and Salome, had prepared, that they might anoint him.
They said among themselves, Who shall roll away the stone from the door? and they found the stone rolled away.
They entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. And it came to pass, as they were perplexed, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: they said, Why seek ye the living among the dead? he is not here: he is risen: remember how he spake when yet in Galilee, saying,
The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
They remembered: they trembled, and went out quickly, with great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word. And, behold, Jesus met them, saying,
All hail!
And they worshipped him. Then said Jesus unto them,
Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.
Mary (Magdalene) stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and she looked into the sepulchre, and seeth two angels in white, sitting. They say, Why weepest thou?
She saith, They have taken away my Lord.
When she had thus said, she turned, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. He saith,
Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou?
She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. Jesus saith,
Mary.
She turned, and saith unto him, Master. Jesus saith unto her,
Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, that he was alive, and that he had spoken these things unto her.
And they believed her not.
