2 And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.
Very early on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.
3 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?
They were saying among themselves, "Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?"
4 And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.
for it was very big. Looking up, they saw that the stone was rolled back.
5 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.
Entering into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe, and they were amazed.
6 And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.
He said to them, "Do not be amazed. You seek Jesus, the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen. He is not here. Look, the place where they put him.
7 But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.
But go, tell his disciples and Peter, 'He goes before you into Galilee. There you will see him, as he said to you.'"
8 And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid.
They went out, and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had come on them. They said nothing to anyone; for they were afraid.

10 And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept.
She went and told those who had been with him, as they mourned and wept.
11 And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.

12 After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.
And after these things he appeared in another form to two of them, as they walked on their way into the country.
13 And they went and told it unto the residue: neither believed they them.
And they went away and told it to the rest. They did not believe them, either.
14 Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.
Afterward he was revealed to the eleven themselves as they were reclining, and he rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen him after he had risen.
15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
And he said to them, "Go into all the world, and proclaim the Good News to the whole creation.
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who disbelieves will be condemned.
17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;
18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
they will pick up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not harm them; they will place their hands on the sick, and they will be made well."
19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.
20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the message by the signs that followed.
