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

4And the guards quaked from fear of him and became like dead men.

5And the angel answered and 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.

His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
