Matthew 28:1-7 ▼

1 Now after the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.

2 Suddenly there was a severe earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descending from heaven came and rolled away the stone and sat on it.

3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow.

4 The guards were shaken and became like dead men because they were so afraid of him.

5 But the angel said to the women, |Do not be afraid; I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.

6 He is not here, for he has been raised, just as he said. Come and see the place where he was lying.

7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples, 'He has been raised from the dead. He is going ahead of you into Galilee. You will see him there.' Listen, I have told you!|
