Matthew 28:1-10 - Jesus Is Raised

¹ And the sabbath being over, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, to view the sepulchre. ² And, lo! there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled away the stone, and sat upon it. ³ His appearance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow. ⁴ And for fear of him the keepers shook, and became as dead men.

⁵ And the angel answering said to the women, Fear ye not; for I know that ye are seeking Jesus, who was crucified. ⁶ He is not here; for he hath risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. ⁷ And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he hath risen from the dead, and, lo! he is going before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him. Lo! I have told you.

⁸ And they went away quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. ⁹ And lo! Jesus met them, saying, All hail! And they went up, and laid hold of his feet, and knelt down before him. ¹⁰ Then Jesus saith to them, Be not afraid; go, tell my brethren to depart into Galilee, and there they shall see me.

¹ And when the sabbath was past, Mary the Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, that they might come and anoint him. ² And very early on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb at the rising of the sun. ³ And they said to one another, Who will roll away for us the stone from the door of the tomb? ⁴ And looking up they see that the stone had been rolled back; for it was very large. ⁵ And they entered the tomb, and saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.

⁶ But he saith to them, Be not affrighted; ye seek Jesus the Nazarene who was crucified; he hath risen; he is not here; behold the place where they laid him. ⁷ But go, tell his disciples and Peter, that he is going before you into Galilee; there ye will see him, as he said to you.

⁸ And they went out, and fled from the tomb; for trembling and amazement had seized them, and they said nothing to any one; for they were terrified.

¹ Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came to the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared. ² And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb; ³ and on entering they found not the body of the Lord Jesus. ⁴ And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed about this, lo! two men stood by them in glittering apparel; ⁵ and when they were terrified, and bowed their faces to the earth, the men said to them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? ⁶ He is not here, but hath risen. Remember how be spoke to you while yet in Galilee, ⁷ saying, The Son of man must be delivered up into the hands of sinners, and be crucified, and rise again on the third day. ⁸ And they remembered his words.

⁹ And returning from the tomb, they told all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest. ¹⁰ It was Mary the Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James; and the other women with them told these things to the apostles. ¹¹ And these words seemed to them as an idle tale, and they did not believe them. ¹² (...)

¹ But on the first day of the week Mary the Magdalene cometh early, while it was yet dark, to the tomb, and seeth that the stone had been taken away from the tomb. ² She runneth therefore, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith 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 they set out for the tomb. ⁴ And they ran both together; and the other disciple outran Peter, and came first to the tomb. ⁵ And stooping down, he seeth the linen cloths lying; but he did not go in. ⁶ Then cometh also Simon Peter following him, and he went into the tomb; and he beholdeth the linen cloths lying, ⁷ and the napkin that was about his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded up in a place by itself. ⁸ Then therefore went in also the other disciple, who came first to the tomb; and he saw, and believed. ⁹ For not even yet did they know the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead.
