Matthew 28:1-7

The Resurrection

1 ¹Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and ²the other Mary went to see the tomb.

2 And behold, there was a great earthquake, for ³an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it.

3 ⁴His appearance was like lightning, and ⁵his clothing white as snow.

4 And for fear of him the guards trembled and ⁶became like dead men.

5 But the angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified.

6 He is not here, for he has risen, ⁷as he said. Come, see the place where he^[a] lay.

7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, ⁸he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. See, I have told you."
