²There was a powerful earthquake. An angel of the Lord came down from heaven. The angel went to the tomb. He rolled back the stone and sat on it. ³His body shone like lightning. His clothes were as white as snow. ⁴The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.

⁵The angel said to the women, “Don’t be afraid. I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. ⁶He is not here! He has risen, just as he said he would! Come and see the place where he was lying. ⁷Go quickly! Tell his disciples, ‘He has risen from the dead. He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”

⁸So the women hurried away from the tomb. They were afraid, but they were filled with joy. They ran to tell the disciples.

⁹Suddenly Jesus met them. “Greetings!” he said.

They came to him, took hold of his feet and worshiped him.

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