Matthew 28:1-10

Jesus Is Risen!

28aNow after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, bMary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the grave. 2And behold, there was a great earthquake, for aan angel of the 1Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled away bthe stone and sat upon it. 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, “1,aDo not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified. 6He is not here, for He has risen, ajust as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying. 7And go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead; and behold, He is going ahead of you ainto Galilee, there you will see Him; behold, I have told you.”
8And they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy and ran to report it to His disciples. 9And behold, Jesus met them and said, Greetings!” And they came up and took hold of His feet and worshiped Him. 10Then Jesus *said to them, 1,aDo not be afraid; go and report to bMy brothers to leave cfor Galilee, and there they will see Me.”
