The first sermon.*)
Matth. 28, 1-10.
Now in the evening of the Sabbath, which dawns on the morning of the first feast of the Sabbaths, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the sepulcher. And behold, there was a great earthquake. For the angel of the Lord came down from heaven, and stood by, and rolled away the stone from the door, and sat upon it. And his form was as lightning, and his raiment as white as snow. And the keepers were afraid, and became as though they were dead. But the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not: I know that ye seek Jesus crucified. He is not here; he is risen, as he said. Come and see the place where the Lord lay, and go quickly and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead. And, behold, he shall go before you into Galilee, and ye shall see him there. Behold, I have told you. And they went out hastily unto the sepulchre with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, Hail. And they came unto him, and took hold of his feet, and bowed themselves to him. Then said Jesus unto them: Fear not: go and tell my brethren, that they may go into Galilee, and there see me.
