Now after the Sabbath, as it began
to dawn toward the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary
came to look at the grave. And behold, a severe earthquake had occurred, for an
angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled away the stone and
sat upon it. And his appearance was like lightning, and his clothing as white
as snow. The guards shook for fear of him and became like dead men. The angel
said to the women, "Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for
Jesus who has been crucified. "He is not here, for He has risen, just as
He said. Come, see the place where He was lying. "Go quickly and tell His
disciples that He has risen from the dead; and behold, He is going ahead of you
into Galilee, there you will see Him; behold, I have told you."
And they left the tomb quickly with
fear and great joy and ran to report it to His disciples. And behold, Jesus met
them and greeted them. And they came up and took hold of His feet and worshiped
Him. Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid; go and take word to My
brethren to leave for Galilee, and there they will see Me." (NASB)
