027:058 This man went to Pilate, and asked for Jesus' body. Then Pilate
commanded the body to be given up.
027:059 Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
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 tomb, and departed.
027:061 Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting
opposite the tomb.
027:062 Now on the next day, which was the day after the Preparation Day,
the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate,
027:063 saying, "Sir, we remember what that deceiver said while he was
still alive: 'After three days I will rise again.'
027:064 Command therefore that the tomb be made secure until the third day,
lest perhaps his disciples come at night and steal him away,
and tell the people, 'He is risen from the dead;' and the last
deception will be worse than the first."
027:065 Pilate said to them, "You have a guard. Go, make it as secure
as you can."
027:066 So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure,
sealing the stone.
028:001 Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn on the first
day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came
to see the tomb.
028:002 Behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord
descended from the sky, and came and rolled away the stone
from the door, and sat on it.
028:003 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow.
028:004 For fear of him, the guards shook, and became like dead men.
028:005 The angel answered the women, "Don't be afraid, for I know
that you seek Jesus, who has been crucified.
028:006 He is not here, for he has risen, just like he said.
Come, see the place where the Lord was lying.
028:007 Go quickly and tell his disciples, 'He has risen from the dead,
and behold, he goes before you into Galilee; there you will
see him.' Behold, I have told you."
028:008 They departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy,
and ran to bring his disciples word.
028:009 As they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them,
saying, "Rejoice!" They came and took hold of his feet,
and worshiped him.
028:010 Then Jesus said to them, "Don't be afraid. Go tell my
brothers{The word for "brothers" here may be also correctly
translated "brothers and sisters" or "siblings."} that they
should go into Galilee, and there they will see me."
028:011 Now while they were going, behold, some of the guards came
into the city, and told the chief priests all the things
that had happened.
028:012 When they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel,
they gave a large amount of silver to the soldiers,
028:013 saying, "Say that his disciples came by night, and stole him
away while we slept.
