Matthew 28:1-7

Jesus Is Raised

1 Now after the Sabbath, at the dawning on the first [day] of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to view the tomb.

2 And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came up [and] rolled away the stone and sat down on it.

3 Now his appearance was like lightning and his clothing white as snow.

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

5 But the angel answered [and] 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, for he has been raised, just as he said. Come, see the place where he was lying.

7 And go quickly, tell his disciples, 'He has been raised from the dead, and behold, he is going ahead of you into Galilee. You will see him there.' Behold, I have told you."
