Chap. XXIV.

 

Devout women not finding his body in the Sepulchre, 4. Angels tel them that he is risen according to his owne prediction: 9. yet the Apostles wil not beleeve it. 12. But neither Peter findeth his body there. 13. He walketh with two Disciples, declaring al this unto them out of the Scriptures, and is knowen of them by breaking of bread. 36. The same day he appeareth to the Apostles being together, is felt of them, and eateth with them. Finally teaching them out of the Scriptures not onely of his Passion and Resurrection, 47. but also of his Catholike Church, 49. he promiseth the Holy Ghost to confirme them, 50. and so ascendeth into Heaven.

 

Mat. 28, 1.
Mr. 16, 1.
Jo. 20, 1.EASTER day.AND in the ^[1] first of the Sabboth very early they came to the monument, carying the spices which they had prepared. ²And they found the stone rolled backe from the monument. ³And going in, they found not the body of our Lord Jesus. ⁴And it came to passe, as they were astonished in their mind at this, behold two men stood beside them in glistering apparel. ⁵And when they feared and cast downe their countenance toward the ground, they said unto them: Why seeke you the living with the dead? ⁶he is not here, but is risen. Remember how he spake to you, when he yet was in Galilee, ⁷saying: Luc. 9, 22.* That the Sonne of man must be delivered into the handes of sinners and be crucified, and the third day rise againe. ⁸And they remembred his wordes. ⁹And going backe from the monument, they told al these things to those eleven, and to al the rest. ¹⁰And it was Marie Magdalene, and Ioane, and Marie of James, and the rest that were with them, which said these things to the Apostles. ¹¹And these wordes seemed before them as dotage, and they did not beleeve them.

¹²But Jo. 20, 3.* Peter rising up ranne to the monument; and stouping downe he saw the linnen clothes lying alone, and went away marvelling with himself at that which was done.

And they said: concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a man a Prophet, mightie in worke and word before God and al the people. ²⁰And how our cheefe Priests and Princes delivered him into condemnation of death, and crucified him. ²¹But we hoped that it was he that should redeeme Israel: and now besides al this, to day is

For the weeke is devided into the Sabboth, and the 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. of the Sabboth. And the Apostle (1 Cor. 16, 2) commanded a collection of money to be made on the first of the Sabboth. Whereby we learne, both the keeping of Sunday, and the Churches count of dayes by the 2. 3. 4. of the Sabboth, to be Apostolical. Which S. Sylvester afterward named, 2. 3. 4. feriam, &c. Breviar.
