(Matthew 28:1-7)
1After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the
week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.
2There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the
Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the
stone and sat on it. 3His appearance was like
lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. 4The
guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead
men.
5The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I
know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6He
is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place
where he lay. 7Then go quickly and tell his disciples:
‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into
Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”
