Matthew 28:1-11

1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, 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 keepers did shake , 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, which 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 goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo , I have told you.

8 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word .

9 And as they went to tell his disciples *, behold , Jesus met them, saying , All hail . And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.

10 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid : go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

11 Now when they were going , behold , some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done .
