The Resurrection of Jesus
Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of
the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. And
behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended
from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. His
appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. And
for fear of him the guards trembled and became like dead men. But
the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus
who was crucified. He is not here, for he has risen, as he said.
Come, see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his
disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before
you to Galilee; there you will see him. See, I have told you.” So
they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to
tell his disciples.
And behold, Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” And
they came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped him. Then
Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers
to go to Galilee, and there they will see me.”
Matthew 28:1-10
