Gospel, Saint, prayer of April 2th

Today's Gospel
At that time, having hurriedly abandoned the tomb with fear and great joy, the women ran to make the announcement to his disciples. And behold, Jesus came to meet them and said, "Salute to you!" And they came close, embraced his feet and worshiped him. Then Jesus said to them: «Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers that they are going to Galilee: they will see me there. "
While they were on the way, behold, some guards arrived in the city and announced to the chief priests everything that had happened. These then reunited with the elders and, after consulting, gave a good sum of money to the soldiers, saying: "Say so:" His disciples came at night and stole it while we slept. " And if it ever comes to the governor's ear, we will persuade him and free you from all worries. " They took the money and did as instructed. So this story has spread among the Jews to this day.
