Matthew 28:1–10

The Resurrection of Jesus

²⁸After the Sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb.^{* 2}And suddenly there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord, descending from heaven, came and rolled back the stone and sat on it.^{* 3}His appearance was like lightning and his clothing white as snow. ⁴For fear of him the guards shook and became like dead men. ⁵But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified.^{* 6}He is not here, for he has been raised, as he said. Come, see the place where he^e lay.^{* 7}Then go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has been raised from the dead,^f and indeed he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him.’ This is my message for you.”^{* 8}So they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy and ran to tell his disciples. ⁹Suddenly Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” And they came to him, took hold of his feet, and worshiped him.^{* 10}Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers and sisters to go to Galilee; there they will see me.”^*
