| 16:3 | And they sayd among them selues: who shall rolle vs awaye the stone from the dore of the sepulchre? |
| 16:4 | And when they loked, they sawe how that the stone was rolled awaye, for it was a very greate one. |

| 16:7 | But goo youre waye, and tell his disciples, & Peter, that he goeth before you into Galile: there shall ye se him, as he sayd vnto you. |
| 16:8 | And they went oute quyckly, and fledd from the sepulcre. For they trembled & were amased. Nether sayde they eny thynge to eny man, for they were afrayed. |

| 16:15 | And he sayde vnto them: Goo ye into al the worlde, and preache the gospell to all creatures, |
| 16:16 | he that beleueth & is baptised, shalbe saued. But he that beleueth not, shalbe dampned. |

| 16:20 | And they went forth, and preached euery where: the Lorde workyng with them and confyrmyng the worde with myracles folowing. |
The Great Bible 1539
The Great Bible of 1539 was the first authorized edition of the Bible in English, authorized by King Henry VIII of England to be read aloud in the church services of the Church of England. The Great Bible was prepared by Myles Coverdale, working under commission of Thomas, Lord Cromwell, Secretary to Henry VIII and Vicar General. In 1538, Cromwell directed the clergy to provide "one book of the bible of the largest volume in English, and the same set up in some convenient place within the said church that ye have care of, whereas your parishioners may most commodiously resort to the same and read it."
