Matthew 28:1-8
Jesus Is Risen!
1 Now after the Sabbath, near dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other (a)Mary went to look at the tomb.(A)
2 And a great earthquake had occurred, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled away the stone [from the opening of the tomb], and sat on it.
3 The angel’s appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were as white as snow.
4 The guards shook, paralyzed with fear [at the sight] of him and became like dead men [pale and immobile].
5 But the angel said to the women, “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, just as He said [He would]. Come! See the place where He was lying.
7 Then go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead; and behold, He is going ahead of you into Galilee [as He promised]. There you will see Him; behold, I have told you.”
