The Resurrection Now after the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.
Suddenly there was a severe earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descending from heaven came and rolled away the stone and sat on it.
His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow.
The guards were shaken and became like dead men because they were so afraid of him.
But the angel said to the women,“Do not be afraid; I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.
He is not here, for he has been raised, just as he said. Come and see the place where he was lying.
Then go quickly and tell his disciples,‘He has been raised from the dead. He is going ahead of you into Galilee. You will see him there.’ Listen, I have told you!”
