⁶³ and said, Sir, we have mind, that that beguiler said yet living, After three days I shall rise again to life.^[a]

⁶ he is not here, for he is risen, as he said; come ye, and see ye the place [come ye, and see the place], where the Lord was laid.

⁷ And go ye soon, and say ye to his disciples [And ye going soon, say to his disciples], that he is risen. And lo! he shall go before you into Galilee; there ye shall see him. Lo! I have before-said to you.
