291. The Earthquake and the Rolling Away of the Stone (mat 28:2-4)
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
His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:

And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
5
And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: 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 lay.

13
Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.
14
And if this come to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him, and secure you.
15
So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.

18
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

19
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
