| 28:3 | His countenaunce was lyke lyghtnyng, & his raymente whyte as snowe. |
| 28:4 | And for feare of him the kepers were astonnied and became as dead men. |
| 28:5 | The aungel aunswered & sayd to the women: feare ye not. I knowe that ye seke Iesus, whiche was crucifyed: |
| 28:6 | he is not here: he is rysen as he sayd. Come & se the place where the Lord was put, |
| 28:7 | & go quickly & tel hys discyples that he is rysen from death. And behold, he wil go before you into Galile, there ye shall se hym. Lo, I haue tolde you. |
| 28:8 | And thei departed quickly from the sepulchre with feare & greate ioye: & dyd runne to bring hys disciples word. |
| 28:9 | And as they went to tell hys disciples: beholde, Iesus met them saying al hayle. And they came & helde him by the fete and worshypped him. |

| 28:13 | sayinge: Saye that his discyples came by night, & stole hym away whyle ye slept: |
| 28:14 | and yf thys come to the rulers eares, we wyll pease him, & saue you harmles. |
| 28:15 | And they toke the money & did as thei were taughte. And this saiynge is noysed amonge the Iewes vnto thys daye. |
| 28:16 | Then the .xi. disciples wente away into Galile, into a mountayne wher Iesus had appointed them. |
| 28:17 | And when they sawe hym they worshipped hym. But some of them doubted. |
| 28:18 | And Iesus came and spake vnto them saiynge: all power is geuen vnto me in heauen and in earth. |
| 28:19 | Go therfore & teache all nacyons, baptisyng them in the name of the father, and the sonne, & the holye ghoste. |
| 28:20 | Teachyng then to obserue all thynges whatsoeuer I commaunded you, And lo I am with you alwaye, euen vntyll the ende of the worlde. |
Matthew's Bible 1537
The Matthew Bible, also known as Matthew's Version, was first published in 1537 by John Rogers, under the pseudonym "Thomas Matthew". It combined the New Testament of William Tyndale, and as much of the Old Testament as he had been able to translate before being captured and put to death, with the translations of Myles Coverdale as to the balance of the Old Testament and the Apocrypha, except the Apocryphal Prayer of Manasses. It is thus a vital link in the main sequence of English Bible translations.
