Matthew 28:1-8 ▼

1 Now late on sabbath, as it was the dusk of the next day after sabbath, came Mary of Magdala and the other Mary to look at the sepulchre.

2 And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of [the] Lord, descending out of heaven, came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it.

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

4 And for fear of him the guards trembled and became as dead men.

5 And the angel answering said to the women, Fear not ye, for I know that ye seek Jesus the crucified one.

6 He is not here, for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

7 And go quickly and say to his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and behold, he goes before you into Galilee, there shall ye see him. Behold, I have told you.

8 And going out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, they ran to bring his disciples word.
