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 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."
8
So they departed quickly from the tomb
9with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples.
