Matthew 28:1-10 (NKJV)
Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and
the other Mary came to see the tomb. 2 And behold, there was a great earthquake; for
an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from
the door, and sat on it. 3 His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as
snow. 4 And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men.
5 But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you
seek Jesus who was crucified. 6 He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see
the place where the Lord lay. 7 And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from
the dead, and indeed He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold,
I have told you.”
8 So they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His
disciples word.
9 And as they went to tell His disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying,“Rejoice!” So
they came and held Him by the feet and worshiped Him. 10 Then Jesus said to them,
“Do not be afraid. Go and tell My brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see Me.”
