Matthew 28:1-10
Jesus Is Risen!
1 (A)Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, (B)Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the grave.
2 And behold, a severe earthquake had occurred, for (C)an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled away (D)the stone and sat upon it.
3 And (E)his appearance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow.
4 The guards shook for fear of him and became like dead men.
5 The angel said to the women, “(a)(F)Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified.
6 He is not here, for He has risen, (G)just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying.
7 Go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead; and behold, He is going ahead of you (H)into Galilee, there you will see Him; behold, I have told you.”
8 And they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy and ran to report it to His disciples.
9 And behold, Jesus met them (b)and greeted them. And they came up and took hold of His feet and worshiped Him.
10 Then Jesus *said to them, “(c)(I)Do not be afraid; go and take word to (J)My brethren to leave (K)for Galilee, and there they will see Me.”
