*: Mark 16:5 John 20:11
1: Christ having put death to flight in the sepulchre, riseth by his
own power, as straightway the Angel witnesseth.
a: At the going out of the Sabbath, that is, about day break after
the Romans' count, which reckon the natural day from the sun rising
to the next sun rising: and not as the Hebrews, which count from
evening to evening.
b: When the morning of the first day after the Sabbath began to dawn:
and that first day is the same, which we now call Sunday, or the
Lord's day.
c: The beams of his eyes, and by the figure, Synecdoche, for the
whole countenance.
d: The word (ye) is spoken with force to confirm the women, now that
the soldiers were afraid.
2: Christ appeareth himself after his resurrection, and sending the
women to his disciples, showeth that he hath not forgotten them.
3: The more the sun shineth, the more are the wicked blinded.
e: For it was to be feared, that it would be brought to the
Governor's ears.
4: Christ appeareth also to his disciples, whom he maketh
Apostles.
*: Hebrews 1:2 Chapter 11:27
John 17:2
*: Mark 16:15
5: The sum of the Apostleship, is the publishing of the doctrine
received of Christ throughout all the world, and of the sacraments:
the efficacy of which things, hangeth not of the ministers, but of
the Lord.
f: Calling upon the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy
Ghost.
*: John 14:16
g: For ever: and this place is meant of the manner of the presence of
his Spirit, by means whereof he maketh us partakers both of himself,
and of all his benefits, but is absent from us in body. |
Chapter 28
The women go to the sepulchre. 2. The Angel. 9. The women see
Christ. 18. He sendeth his Apostles to preach.
Now * in 1 the
a end of the Sabbath, when the first
day of the week b began to dawn,
Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary came to see the sepulchre,
2 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.
3 And his c
countenance was like lightening, and his raiment white as snow.
4 And for fear of him, the keepers
were astonied, and became as dead men.
5 But the Angel answered, and said to
the women, Fear d ye not: for I know that
ye seek Jesus which was crucified:
6 He is not here, for he is risen, as
he said: come, see the place where the Lord was laid,
7 And go quickly, and tell his
disciples, that he is risen from the dead: and behold, he goeth forth
before you into Galilee: there ye shall see him: lo, I have told you.
8 So they departed quickly from the
sepulchre, with fear and great joy, and did run to bring his
disciples word.
9 2 And as
they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus also met them saying,
God save you. And they came, and took him by
the feet and worshipped him.
10 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid. Go, and tell my brethren, that
they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.
11 ¶ 3 Now
when they were gone, behold, some of the watch came into the city,
and showed unto the high priests all the things that were done.
12 And they gathered them together
with the elders, and took council, and gave large money unto the
soldiers,
13 Saying, Say, His disciples came by
night and stole him away while we slept.
14 And if this matter
e come before the governor to be heard, we
will persuade him, and so use the matter that you shall not need to
care.
15 So they took the money, and did as
they were taught: and this saying is noised among the Jews unto this
day.
16 ¶ 4 Then
the eleven disciples went into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus
had appointed them.
17 And when they saw him, they
worshipped him: but some doubted.
18 And Jesus came, and spake unto
them, saying, * All power is given unto me, in
heaven, and in earth.
19 *5 Go therefore, and teach all
nations, baptizing them f in the Name of the Father, and
the Son, and the Holy Ghost,
20
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:
and lo, * I am with you g alway, until the end of the
world, Amen.
