1. Now in the evening of the Sabbaths, 1626 which began to dawn towards the first of the Sabbaths, came Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, to see the sepulcher.
2. And lo, there was a great earthquake; for the angel of the Lord came down from heaven, and approached, and rolled away the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
3. And his countenance was like lightning, and his raiment was white as snow. 4.
And through fear of him the guards trembled, and became as dead men. 5. But the angel answering, said to the women, Fear not; for I know that you seek Jesus, who was crucified. 6. He is not here; for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay: 7. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, lo, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall you see him: lo, I have told you.
1. And when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary, the wife of James, and Salome, bought spices to come and anoint him. 2. And very early in the morning of the first day of the Sabaths, 1627 They come to the tomb at the rising of the sun. 1628 3. And they said among themselves, Who shall roll away the stone for us from the door of the tomb? 4. And having looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away; for it was very great. 5. And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a white robe; and they were afraid. 6. But he saith to them, Be not terrified: you seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified; he is risen, he is not here: lo, the place where they laid him. 7. But go away, tell his disciples and Peter, that he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall you see him, as he said to you.
1626"Ou, au bout du Sabbaths, comme le jour apparoissoit pour luire pour le premier de la semaine;" — "or, at the end of the Sabbath, as the day began to dawn for the first of the week."
1627"Le premier des Sabbaths; ou, jour de la semaine;"—the first of the Sabbaths, or day of the week."
1628"Le soleil estant ja levé; ou, commençant à se lever, ou, n'estant encore levé;" — "the sun having already risen; or beginning to rise, or not having yet risen."
