1
Now well along on the sabbath, as it began to dawn on the first of the sabbaths, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
2
And, behold, there was a great earthquake, for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone from the door and sat upon it.
3
His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow;
4
and for fear of him the guards shook and became as dead men.
5
And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye, for I know that ye seek Jesus, who was crucified.
6
He is not here, for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
7
And go quickly and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goes before you into Galilee; there ye shall see him; behold, I have told you.
