Matthew 28:1-10 - Jesus Is Raised

¹ And after the sabbaths, in the shining forth to one of the sabbaths, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to behold the tomb. ² And, behold, there was a great shaking; for a messenger of the Lord, having come down out of heaven, having come near, rolled away the stone from the door, and sat above it. ³ And his aspect was as lightning, and his garment white as snow. ⁴ And from fear of him the keepers were shaken, and were as dead.

⁵ And the messenger, having answered, said to the women, Be ye not afraid; for I know that ye seek Jesus, having been crucified. ⁶ He is not here: for he was raised, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. ⁷ And having gone quickly, say ye to his disciples, that he was raised from the dead; and, behold, he leads before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him: behold I have said to you.

⁸ And they having come quickly from the tomb, with fear and great joy, ran to announce to his disciples. ⁹ And as they were going to announce to his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, Rejoice ye. And they having come, held his feet firmly, and worshipped him. ¹⁰ Then says Jesus to them, Be ye not afraid: retire, and announce to my brethren that they should go away into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

¹ And the sabbath having intervened, Mary Magdalene, and Mary of James, and Salome, bought spices, that having come, they might anoint him. ² And very early in the morning of one of the sabbaths, they came to the tomb, the sun having risen. ³ And they said to themselves, Who shall roll away for us the stone from the door of the tomb? ⁴ And having looked up, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great. ⁵ And having come to the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right, being encompassed with a white robe; and they were terrified.

⁶ And he says to them, Be not terrified: Ye seek Jesus the Nazarene, being crucified: he was raised; he is not here: see the place where they laid him. ⁷ But retire ye; say to his disciples and to Peter that he goes before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said to you.

⁸ And having come forth quickly, they fled from the tomb; and terror and amazement held them: and they said nothing to any; for they were afraid.

¹ And in one of the sabbaths, in the depth of the dawn of day, they came to the tomb, bringing spices which they had prepared, and certain with them. ² And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb. ³ And coming in, they found not the body of the Lord Jesus. ⁴ And it was in their being perplexed for this, and, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: ⁵ And they having, been afraid, and bending the face to the earth, they said to them, Why seek ye the living with the dead ⁶ He is not here, but has risen: remember how he spake to you being yet in Galilee, ⁷ Saying, That the Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and be raised up the third day. ⁸ And they remembered his words,

⁹ And having returned from the tomb, they announced these things to the eleven, and to all the rest. ¹⁰ And they were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary of James, and the rest with them, who said these things to the sent. ¹¹ And their words appeared before them as idle talk, and they believed them not. ¹² And Peter having risen, ran to the tomb; and having stooped, saw the linen bandages lying alone, and he departed, wondering in himself at what was done.

¹ And in one of the sabbaths comes Mary Magdalene in the morning, there yet being darkness, to the tomb, and sees the stone taken away from the tomb. ² Then she runs, and comes to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and says to them, They took away the Lord from the tomb; and we know not where they laid him.

³ Peter then came forth, and the other disciple, and they came to the tomb. ⁴ And they two ran together: and the other disciple ran before, swifter than Peter, and came first to the tomb. ⁵ And having stood stooping, he sees the linen bandages lying; yet he did not go in. ⁶ Then comes Simon Peter following him, and he came into the tomb, and sees the linen bandages lying, ⁷ And the napkin, which was upon his head, not lying with the linen bandages, but separately inwrapped in one place. ⁸ Then, therefore, went in also the other disciple, having first come to the tomb, and he saw, and believed. ⁹ For not yet knew they the writing, that he must rise from the dead.
