Part 38

40:027:050 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

40:027:051 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

40:027:052 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,

40:027:053 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

40:027:054 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

40:027:055 And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:

40:027:056 Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedees children.

40:027:057 When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:

40:027:058 He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.

40:027:059 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

40:027:060 And 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.

40:027:061 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.

40:027:062 Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,

40:027:063 Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.

40:027:064 Command 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.

40:027:065 Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can.

40:027:066 So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.

40:028:001 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.

40:028:002 And, 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.

40:028:003 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:

40:028:004 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.

40:028:005 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

40:028:006 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

40:028:007 And 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.

40:028:008 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.

40:028:009 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.

40:028:010 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

40:028:011 Now 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.
