Matthew 28:1–10

The Resurrection

28^mNow after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and ⁿthe other Mary went to see the tomb. ²And behold, there was a great earthquake, for ^oan angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. ^3pHis appearance was like lightning, and ^qhis clothing white as snow. ⁴And for fear of him the guards trembled and ^rbecame like dead men. ⁵But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. ⁶He is not here, for he has risen, ^sas he said. Come, see the place where he¹ lay. ⁷Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, ^the is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. See, I have told you.” ⁸So they departed quickly from the tomb ^uwith fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. ⁹And behold, Jesus ^vmet them and said, “Greetings!” And they came up and ^wtook hold of his feet and ^xworshiped him. ¹⁰Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid; ^ygo and tell ^zmy brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me.”
