²There was a violent earthquake,^r for an angel^s of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone^t and sat on it. ³His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow.^u ⁴The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.

⁵The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid,^v for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. ⁶He is not here; he has risen, just as he said.^w Come and see the place where he lay. ⁷Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee.^x There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”

⁸So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. ⁹Suddenly Jesus met them.^y “Greetings,” he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him. ¹⁰Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers^z to go to Galilee; there they will see me.”
