Matthew 28:1-10 - Jesus Is Raised

¹ Now after the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary, to see the sepulchre. ² And behold, there had been a great earthquake, and an angel of the Lord descending from heaven, had come and rolled away the stone from the door and sat upon it. ³ His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow. ⁴ And for fear of him the guards trembled, and became as dead men.

⁵ But the angel answering said to the women, Fear not ye; for I know ye seek Jesus who was crucified. 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 tell the disciples, that he is risen from the dead. And behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him.

⁸ Lo, I have told you. And departing quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy they ran to tell his disciples. ⁹ And behold Jesus met them and said, Hail. And they came, and took hold of his feet and worshiped him. ¹⁰ Then saith Jesus to them, Fear not. Go tell my brethren to go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

¹ And when the sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Salome, had bought spices, that they might come and embalm him. ² And very early in the morning, the first day of the week, they come to the sepulchre, at the rising of the sun. ³ And they said one to another, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre? ⁴ (For it was very great:) And looking up, they saw that the stone was rolled away. ⁵ And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man, sitting on the right-side, clothed in a white robe; and they were affrighted.

⁶ He saith to them, Be not affrighted: ye 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, He goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said to you.

⁸ And going out, they fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: and they said nothing to any; for they were afraid.

¹ And on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came to the sepulchre, bringing the spices, which they had prepared and certain others with them. ² And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre, And entering, they found not the body of the Lord Jesus. ³ And while they were perplexed concerning it, ⁴ behold two men stood by them in shining garments. ⁵ And as they were afraid, and bowed down their face to the earth, they said to them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? ⁶ He is not here, but is risen. Remember how he spake to you being yet in Galilee, ⁷ Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and rise again the third day. ⁸ And they remembered his words,

⁹ And returning from the sepulchre, told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. ¹⁰ It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them, who told these things to the apostles. ¹¹ And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not. ¹² But Peter rising, ran to the sepulchre; and stooping down, he seeth the linen clothes laid by themselves; and he went home, wondring at what was come to pass.

¹ The first day of the week, cometh Mary Magdalene early, while it was yet dark, to the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre. ² Then she runneth 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 sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.

³ Then Peter went out and the other disciple, and ran toward the sepulchre. ⁴ They both ran together: but the other disciple outran Peter, and came first to the sepulchre. ⁵ And stooping down, he saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in. ⁶ Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie, And the napkin that was about his head, ⁷ not lying with the linen clothes, but folded up in a place by itself. ⁸ Then the other disciple, who came first to the sepulchre, went in; and he saw and believed. ⁹ For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.
