28After the Sabbath,^z as the first day of the week was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to view the tomb. ²There was a violent earthquake, because an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and approached the tomb. He rolled back the stone and was sitting on it.^a ³His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing was as white as snow.^b ⁴The guards were so shaken by fear of him that they became like dead men.

⁵The angel told the women, “Don’t be afraid, because I know you are looking for Jesus who was crucified.^c ⁶He is not here. For he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.^d ⁷Then go quickly and tell his disciples,^e ‘He has risen from the dead and indeed he is going ahead of you to Galilee; you will see him there.’ Listen, I have told you.”^f

⁸So, departing quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, they ran to tell his disciples the news. ⁹Just then^C Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” They came up, took hold of his feet, and worshiped him.^g ¹⁰Then Jesus told them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to leave for Galilee, and they will see me there.”^h
