- 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
- There 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.
- 3
- His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow.
- 4
- The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.
- 5
- The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.
- 6
- He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.
- 7
- Then 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."
