1Now 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.
1ⲣⲟⲩϩⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲧⲟⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ ⲁⲥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲙⲁⲣⲓ⳿ⲁ ϯⲘⲁⲅⲇⲁⲗⲓⲛⲏ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯⲕⲉ Ⲙⲁⲣⲓ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓ⳿ⲙϩⲁⲩ.
2Behold, 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.

3His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow.

4For fear of him, the guards shook, and became like dead men.

5The angel answered the women, “Don’t be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus, who has been crucified.

6He is not here, for he has risen, just like he said. Come, see the place where the Lord was lying.

7Go 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.”

8They departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring his disciples word.
8ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩϣⲉⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲭⲱⲗⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϩⲁ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲙϩⲁⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϩⲟϯ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛⲣⲁϣⲓ ⲛⲁⲩϭⲟϫⲓ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲙⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ.
9As they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Rejoice!” They came and took hold of his feet, and worshiped him.
9ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲓⲥ ϩⲏⲡⲡⲉ ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲭⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲁⲙⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉϥϭⲁⲗⲁⲩϫ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ.
10Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Go tell my brothers that they should go into Galilee, and there they will see me.”
10ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲣⲉⲣϩⲟϯ ⲙⲁϣⲉⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲙⲁⲧⲁⲙⲉ ⲛⲁ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲩϣⲉⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉϯⲄⲁⲗⲓⲗⲉ⳿ⲁ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ.
11Now while they were going, behold, some of the guards came into the city and told the chief priests all the things that had happened.
11⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩϣⲉⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲓⲥ ϩⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲕⲟⲩⲥⲧⲱⲇⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉϯⲃⲁⲕⲓ ⲁⲩⲧⲁⲙⲉ ⲛⲓⲁⲣⲭⲏ⳿ⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⳿ⲉϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩϣⲱⲡⲓ.
12When they were assembled with the elders and had taken counsel, they gave a large amount of silver to the soldiers,

13saying, “Say that his disciples came by night and stole him away while we slept.

14If this comes to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him and make you free of worry.”

15So they took the money and did as they were told. This saying was spread abroad among the Jews, and continues until today.

16But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had sent them.

17When they saw him, they bowed down to him; but some doubted.

18Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.
