Matthew 28:1-10 - Jesus Is Raised

¹ Now late on sabbath, as it was the dusk of the next day after sabbath, came Mary of Magdala and the other Mary to look at the sepulchre. ² And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord, descending out of heaven, came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it. ³ And his look was as lightning, and his clothing white as snow. ⁴ And for fear of him the guards trembled and became as dead men.

⁵ And the angel answering said to the women, Fear not ye, for I know that ye seek Jesus the crucified one. ⁶ He is not here, for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. ⁷ And go quickly and say to his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and behold, he goes before you into Galilee, there shall ye see him. Behold, I have told you.

⁸ And going out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, they ran to bring his disciples word. ⁹ And as they went to bring his disciples word, behold also, Jesus met them, saying, Hail! And they coming up took him by the feet, and did him homage. ¹⁰ Then Jesus says to them, Fear not; go, bring word to my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there they shall see me.

¹ And the sabbath being now past, Mary of Magdala, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought aromatic spices that they might come and embalm him. ² And very early on the first day of the week they come to the sepulchre, the sun having risen. ³ And they said to one another, Who shall roll us away the stone out of the door of the sepulchre? ⁴ And when they looked, they see that the stone has been rolled away, for it was very great. ⁵ And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right, clothed in a white robe, and they were amazed and alarmed;

⁶ but he says to them, Be not alarmed. Ye seek Jesus, the Nazarene, the crucified one. He is risen, he is not here; behold the place where they had put him. ⁷ But go, tell his disciples and Peter, he goes before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him, as he said to you.

⁸ And they went out, and fled from the sepulchre. And trembling and excessive amazement possessed them, and they said nothing to any one, for they were afraid.

¹ But on the morrow of the sabbath, very early indeed in the morning, they came to the tomb, bringing the aromatic spices which they had prepared. ² And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. ³ And when they had entered they found not the body of the Lord Jesus. ⁴ And it came to pass as they were in perplexity about it, that behold, two men suddenly stood by them in shining raiment. ⁵ And as they were filled with fear and bowed their faces to the ground, they said to them, Why seek ye the living one among the dead? ⁶ He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spoke to you, being yet in Galilee, ⁷ saying, The Son of man must be delivered up into the hands of sinners, and be crucified, and rise the third day. ⁸ And they remembered his words;

⁹ and, returning from the sepulchre, related all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. ¹⁰ Now it was Mary of Magdala, and Johanna, and Mary the mother of James, and the others with them, who told these things to the apostles. ¹¹ And their words appeared in their eyes as an idle tale, and they disbelieved them. ¹² But Peter, rising up, ran to the sepulchre, and stooping down he sees the linen clothes lying there alone, and went away home, wondering at what had happened.

¹ And on the first day of the week Mary of Magdala comes in early morn to the tomb, while it was still dark, and sees the stone taken away from the tomb. ² She runs therefore and comes to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, to whom Jesus was attached, and says to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we know not where they have laid him.

³ Peter therefore went forth, and the other disciple, and came to the tomb. ⁴ And the two ran together, and the other disciple ran forward faster than Peter, and came first to the tomb, ⁵ and stooping down he sees the linen cloths lying; he did not however go in. ⁶ Simon Peter therefore comes, following him, and entered into the tomb, and sees the linen cloths lying, ⁷ and the handkerchief which was upon his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded up in a distinct place by itself. ⁸ Then entered in therefore the other disciple also who came first to the tomb, and he saw and believed; ⁹ for they had not yet known the scripture, that he must rise from among the dead.
