²Suddenly, there was a powerful earthquake. An angel of the Lord had come down from heaven, rolled the stone away, and was sitting on it. ³He was as bright as lightning, and his clothes were as white as snow. ⁴The guards were so deathly afraid of him that they shook.

⁵The angel said to the women, “Don’t be afraid! I know you’re looking for Jesus, who was crucified. ⁶He’s not here. He has been brought back to life as he said. Come, see the place where he was lying. ⁷Then go quickly, and tell his disciples that he has been brought back to life. He’s going ahead of them into Galilee. There they will see him. Take note that I have told you.”

⁸They hurried away from the tomb with fear and great joy and ran to tell his disciples.

⁹Suddenly, Jesus met them and greeted them. They went up to him, bowed down to worship him, and took hold of his feet.

¹⁰Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t be afraid! Go, tell my followers to go to Galilee. There they will see me.”
