The Book of the Covenant

Section 10

And as they mourned and wept, the Lord showed himself unto them and said to them: For whom weep ye ? weep no more, I am he whom ye seek. But let one of you go to your brethren and say: Come ye, the Master is risen from the dead. Martha (Mary, Eth,) came and told us. We said unto her: What have we to do with thee, woman? He that is dead and buried, is it possible that he should live ? And we believed her not that the Saviour was risen from the dead. Then she returned unto the Lord and said unto him: None of them hath believed me, that thou livest. He said: Let another of you go unto them and tell them again. Mary (Sarrha, Eth.) came and told us again, and we believed her not; and she returned unto the Lord and she also told him.
