ering said to the women: Fear
not ye; for I know that ye are seeking Jesus, who was crucified. (6)He
is not here; for he is risen, as he said. Come hither, see the place
where the Lord lay. (7)And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he
is risen from the dead. And behold, he goes before you into Galilee;
there ye shall see him. Behold, I told you.

(8)And going out quickly from the sepulchre, with fear and great joy,
they ran to bring his disciples word. (9)And behold, Jesus met them,
saying: All hail! And they, coming to him, laid hold of his feet, and
worshiped him. (10)Then Jesus says to them: Be not afraid; go, bear
word to my brethren, to go away into Galilee, and there they shall see
me.

(11)And as they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the
city, and reported to the chief priests all the things that were done.
(12)And having assembled with the elders, and taken counsel, they gave
much money to the soldiers, (13)saying: Say, that his disciples came
by night, and stole him away while we slept. (14)And if this shall be
heard by the governor[28:14], we will persuade him, and make you
secure. (15)And they, taking the money, did as they were taught. And
this saying was reported abroad among the Jews, until this day.

(16)And the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into the mountain
where Jesus had appointed them. (17)And seeing him, they worshiped
him; but some doubted.

(18)And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying: All power was given to
me in heaven and on earth. (19)Go therefore, and disciple all the
nations, immersing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and
of the Holy Spirit; (20)teaching them to observe all things, whatever
I commanded you. And, behold, I am with you alway, unto the end of the
world.

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MARK.

I.

THE beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, Son of God, (2)as it
is written in Isaiah the prophet: Behold, I send forth my messenger
before thy face, who shall prepare thy way; (3)the voice of one crying
in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his
paths. (4)John came immersing in the wilderness, and preaching the
immersion of repentance unto remission of sins. (5)And there went out
to him all the country of Judaea, and all they of Jerusalem; and they
were immersed by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

(6)And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a leathern girdle
about his loins, and a
