Matthew 28:1-8 ▼

1 Now after the Sabbaths, it being dawn toward the first of the Sabbaths, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.

2 And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord, having descended out of heaven and having come, rolled away the stone and was sitting upon it.

3 And his appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow.

4 And those keeping guard trembled from fear of him, and they became like dead men.

5 And answering, the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you? seek Jesus, the One having been crucified.

6 He is not here, for He is risen, as He said! Come, see the place where He was lying.

7 And having gone quickly, say to His disciples, ‘He is risen from the dead, and behold, He goes before you? into Galilee; there you? will see Him.’ Behold, I have told you?.”

8 And having gone out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, they ran to tell His disciples.
