1 After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and
the other Mary went to look at the tomb. 2 There was a violent earthquake, for
an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled
back the stone and sat on it.
3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. 4 The
guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.
5 The angel 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; he has risen, just as he
said. Come and see the place where he lay.
7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is
going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told
you.”
8 So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran
to tell his disciples. 9 Suddenly Jesus met them. “Greetings,” he said. They
came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him.
10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go
to Galilee; there they will see me.”
