| 2And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. | 2Suddenly, there was a powerful earthquake, because an angel of the Lord had come down from heaven, approached the stone, rolled it away, and was sitting on top of it. |
| 3His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: | 3His appearance was bright as lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. |
| 4And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. | 4Trembling from fear, even the guards themselves became catatonic. |
| 5And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. | 5Responding to the women, the angel said, "Stop being frightened! I know you're looking for Jesus, who was crucified. |

He is going ahead of you into Galilee, and you will see him there. Remember, I have told you!" |
| 8And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word. | 8So they quickly left the tomb, terrified but also ecstatic, and ran to tell Jesus' disciples. |
| 9And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him. | 9Suddenly, Jesus met them and said, "Greetings!" They went up to him, took hold of his feet, and worshipped him. |
| 10Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me. | 10Then Jesus told them, "Stop being frightened! Go and tell my brothers to leave for Galilee, and they will see me there." |
| 11Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done. | 11While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and told the high priests everything that had happened. |
