Matthew 28:1-10 - Jesus Is Raised

¹ And late on the Sabbath-day, on the dawn toward the first of the Sabbaths, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the sepulcher. ² And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel descending from heaven, having come rolled away the stone from the door, and sat upon it. ³ And his countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow. ⁴ And from fear of him the keepers did quake, and they became like dead men.

⁵ And the angel responding, said to the women, Be ye not afraid: for I know that you are seeking Jesus, who has been crucified. ⁶ He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. ⁷ And going quickly, tell His disciples, that He is risen from the dead; and behold, He goes before you into Galilee; and there you shall see Him; lo, I have told you.

⁸ And having come out quickly from the sepulcher with fear and great joy, they were running to tell His disciples. ⁹ And behold, Jesus met them, saying, Hail. And they having come forward, took hold of His feet, and worshiped Him. ¹⁰ Then Jesus says to them, Fear not: go tell my brethren, that they may depart into Galilee, and there they shall see me.

¹ And the Sabbath passing away, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, prepared aromatics, in order that having come they may anoint Him. ² And exceedingly early in the morning, the first of the Sabbaths, they come to the sepulcher, the sun approaching the horizon. ³ And they were saying to themselves, Who shall for us roll away the stone from the sepulcher? ⁴ And looking up, they see that the stone has already been rolled away: for it was exceedingly great. ⁵ And having come to the sepulcher, they saw a young man sitting on the right, clothed in a white robe. And they were affrighted.

⁶ But he says to them, Fear not: you are seeking Jesus, the Nazarene, who has been crucified: He is risen; He is not here: see the place where they laid Him. ⁷ But go, tell His disciples and Peter, that He goes before you into Galilee: you shall see Him there, as He told you.

⁸ And having come out from the sepulcher, they fled; and trembling and ecstasy possessed them, and they said nothing to any one; for they were afraid.

¹ And on the first of the Sabbath, at the depth of the dawn, they came to the sepulcher, bearing the aromatics which they had prepared, ² And they found the stone, having been rolled away from the sepulcher. ³ And coming in they found not the body of the Lord Jesus. ⁴ And it came to pass, while they were at a loss concerning this, and behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: ⁵ and they being afraid, and turning their face towards the ground, they said to them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? ⁶ He is not here, but He is risen. Remember how He spoke to you, being with you in Galilee, ⁷ Saying That it behooveth the Son of man to be delivered into the hands of sinners, and to be crucified, and to rise again on the third day. ⁸ And they remembered His words.

⁹ And having returned from the sepulcher, they proclaimed all these things to the eleven, and all the rest. ¹⁰ And Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James: and the other women with them spoke these things to the apostles. ¹¹ And their words appeared before them like a dream; and they doubted them. ¹² OMITTED TEXT

¹ On the first of the Sabbaths Mary Magdalene comes to the sepulcher early in the morning, it being yet dark, and sees the stone having been rolled from the sepulcher. ² Then she runs, and comes to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and says to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulcher, and we know not where they have placed Him.

³ Then Peter and the other disciple came out, and they were coming to the sepulcher. ⁴ And the two were running simultaneously: and the other disciple was running before more rapidly than Peter, and came first to the sepulcher. ⁵ John looking in sees the grave-clothes lying; and did not come in. ⁶ Then Simon Peter, following him, he came into the sepulcher; and sees the grave-clothes lying, ⁷ and the napkin, which was on His head, not lying with the grave-clothes, but separate in one place, having been rolled up. ⁸ Then the other disciple also came in, the one having come first to the sepulcher, and saw, and believed; ⁹ for they did not yet understand the Scripture, That it behooved Him to rise from the dead.
