Matthew 28:1-10 - Jesus Is Raised

¹ But late in the week, at the dawning into the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. ² And behold, a great earthquake occurred! For coming down from Heaven, and coming up, an angel of the Lord rolled back the stone from the door and was sitting on it. ³ His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. ⁴ And the keepers shook for fear of him and became like dead men.

⁵ And the angel answered and said to the women, Do not fear, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. ⁶ He is not here, for He has risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. ⁷ And go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead. And, behold, He goes before you into Galilee. There you shall see Him. Lo, I have told you.

⁸ And they quickly departed from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word. ⁹ But as they were going to report to His disciples, behold, Jesus also met them, saying, Hail! And they came and held Him by the feet and worshiped Him. ¹⁰ Then Jesus said to them, Do not be afraid; go tell My brothers that they should 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, had bought sweet spices so that they might come and anoint Him. ² And very early in the morning, the first day of the week, they came upon the tomb, the sun having risen. ³ And they said among themselves, Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us? ⁴ And looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled back, for it was very great. ⁵ And entering into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right, clothed in a long white garment. And they were frightened.

⁶ And he said to them, Do not be frightened. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen, He is not here. Behold the place where they laid Him. ⁷ But go tell His disciples and Peter that He goes before you into Galilee. There you will see Him, as He said to you.

⁸ And they went out quickly and fled from the tomb. For they trembled and were amazed. Neither did they say anything to anyone, for they were afraid.

¹ And on the first of the sabbaths, while still very early, they came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. ² But they found the stone rolled away from the tomb. ³ And going in, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. ⁴ And as they were much perplexed about it, it happened that, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments. ⁵ And as they were afraid, and bowed their faces down to the earth, they said to them, Why do you seek the living among the dead? ⁶ He is not here, but has risen. Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee, ⁷ saying, The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified, and the third day rise again? ⁸ And they remembered His words

⁹ and returned from the tomb and told all these things to the Eleven and to the rest. ¹⁰ It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and the rest with them, who told these things to the apostles. ¹¹ And their words seemed to them like foolishness, and they did not believe them. ¹² And Peter arose and ran to the tomb, and stooping down he saw the linens lying alone. And he went away wondering to himself at what had happened.

¹ The first of the sabbaths Mary Magdalene came early to the tomb, darkness still being on it, and she saw the stone taken away from the tomb. ² Then she ran and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him.

³ Therefore Peter and that other disciple went forth and came to the tomb. ⁴ So they both ran together. And the other disciple outran Peter and came first to the tomb. ⁵ And stooping down he saw the linens lying, yet he did not go in. ⁶ Then Simon Peter came following him and went into the tomb. And he saw the linens lying there. ⁷ And the grave-cloth that was on His head was not lying with the linens, but was wrapped up in one place by itself. ⁸ Therefore, then, that other disciple also went in, the one who came first to the tomb. And he saw and believed. ⁹ For as yet they did not know the Scripture that He must rise again from the dead.
