Matthew 28:1-8 ▼

1 The sabbath being over, and the first day of the week beginning to dawn, Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, came to see the sepulchre.

2 now there had been a great earthquake; for an angel of the lord descending from heaven, was come, and had rolled away the stone from the door, and was sitting upon it.

3 his aspect was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow.

4 for fear of whom the keepers shook, and were almost struck dead.

5 but the angel spoke to the woman, and said, don't be frighted, I know you are seeking Jesus, who was crucified.

6 he is not here: he is risen according to his word: come, see the place where the Lord was laid.

7 then go immediately to tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and that, he goes before you into Galilee, there shall ye see it is him; 'tis I that say it.

8 And they instantly left the sepulchre, with fear and joy, and ran to carry his disciples this good news.
