Matthew 28:1-10 - Jesus Is Raised

¹ Now late on the Sabbath, when the dawn of the first day of the week was near, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the place where his body was. ² And there was a great earth-shock; for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, rolling back the stone, took his seat on it. ³ His form was shining like the light, and his clothing was white as snow: ⁴ And for fear of him the watchmen were shaking, and became as dead men.

⁵ And the angel said to the women, Have no fear: for I see that you are searching for Jesus, who was put to death on the cross. ⁶ He is not here, for he has come to life again, even as he said. Come, see the Lord's resting-place. ⁷ And go quickly and give his disciples the news that he has come back from the dead, and is going before you into Galilee; there you will see him, as I have said to you.

⁸ And they went away quickly, with fear and great joy, to give his disciples the news. ⁹ And on the way, Jesus came to them, saying, Be glad. And they came and put their hands on his feet, and gave him worship. ¹⁰ Then said Jesus to them, Have no fear: go and give word to my brothers to go into Galilee, and there they will see me.

¹ And when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of James, and Salome, got spices, so that they might come and put them on him. ² And very early after dawn on the first day of the week, they came at the time of the coming up of the sun to the place where the body had been put. ³ And they were saying among themselves, Who will get the stone rolled away from the door for us? ⁴ And looking up, they saw that the stone was rolled back; and it was of great size. ⁵ And when they went in, they saw a young man seated on the right side, dressed in a white robe; and they were full of wonder.

⁶ And he said to them, Do not be troubled: you are looking for Jesus, the Nazarene, who has been put to death on the cross; he has come back from the dead; he is not here: see, the place where they put him! ⁷ But go, say to his disciples and to Peter, He goes before you into Galilee: there you will see him, as he said to you.

⁸ And they went out quickly from the place, because fear and great wonder had come on them: and they said nothing to anyone, because they were full of fear that ...

¹ But on the first day of the week, at dawn, they came to the place where his body had been put, taking the spices which they had got ready. ² And they saw that the stone had been rolled away. ³ And they went in, but the body of the Lord Jesus was not there. ⁴ And while they were in doubt about it, they saw two men in shining clothing by them: ⁵ And while their faces were bent down to the earth in fear, these said to them, Why are you looking for the living among the dead? ⁶ He is not here, he has come back to life: have in mind what he said to you when he was still in Galilee, saying, ⁷ The Son of man will be given up into the hands of evil-doers, and be put to death on the cross, and on the third day he will come back to life. ⁸ And his words came back into their minds,

⁹ And they went away from that place and gave an account of all these things to the eleven disciples and all the others. ¹⁰ Now they were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary, the mother of James: and the other women with them said these things to the Apostles. ¹¹ But these words seemed foolish to them, and they had no belief in them. ¹² But Peter got up and went to the place where the body had been put, and looking in he saw nothing but the linen cloths, and he went to his house full of wonder at what had taken place.

¹ Now on the first day of the week, very early, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the place and saw that the stone had been taken away from it. ² Then she went running to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple who was loved by Jesus, and said to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the place of the dead and we have no knowledge where they have put him.

³ So Peter and the other disciple went out to the place of the dead. ⁴ They went running together, and the other disciple got in front of Peter and came first to the hole in the rock; ⁵ And looking in, he saw the linen bands on the earth; but he did not go in, ⁶ Then Simon Peter came after him and went into the hole in the rock; and he saw the linen bands on the earth, ⁷ And the cloth, which had been round his head, not with the linen bands but rolled up in a place by itself. ⁸ Then the other disciple who came there first went in; and he saw and belief came to him. ⁹ For at that time they had no knowledge that the Writings said that he would have to come again from the dead.
