Come, se the place where that the Lord was layde.
- 7
- And go quickly, & tell his disciples that he is rysen agayne from the dead.
And beholde, he goeth before you into Galilee, there shall ye see hym.
Loe, I haue tolde you.

- 9
- And as they went to tell his disciples, beholde, Iesus met them, saying: All hayle.
And they came and helde him by the feete, and worshypped hym.

Go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, & there shal they see me.
