Matthew 28:1-8

1 After the Sabbath, in the early dawn of the first day of the week, Mary of Magdala and the other Mary came to see the sepulchre.

2 But to their amazement there had been a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord had descended from Heaven, and had come and rolled back the stone, and was sitting upon it.

3 His appearance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow.

4 For fear of him the guards trembled violently, and became like dead men.

5 But the angel said to the women, "As for you, dismiss your fears. I know that it is Jesus that you are looking for--the crucified One.

6 He is not here: He has come back to life, as He foretold. Come and see the place where He lay.

7 And go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead and is going before you into Galilee: there you shall see Him. Remember, I have told you."

8 They quickly left the tomb and ran, still terrified but full of unspeakable joy, to carry the news to His disciples.
