Matthew 28:1–6

Jesus Is Risen!

1 aNow after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, bMary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the grave.

2 And behold, a severe earthquake had occurred, for aan angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled away bthe stone and sat upon it.

3 And ahis appearance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow.

4 The guards shook for fear of him and became like dead men.

5 The angel said to the women, “1aDo not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified.

6 “He is not here, for He has risen, ajust as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying.
