Bible
- 1
- NOW AFTER the Sabbath, near dawn of the first day of the week, Mary of Magdala and the other Mary went to take a look at the tomb.
- 2
- And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled the boulder back and sat upon it.
- 3
- His appearance was like lightning, and his garments as white as snow.
- 4
- And those keeping guard were so frightened at the sight of him that they were agitated and they trembled and became like dead men.
- 5
- But the angel said to the women, Do not be alarmed and frightened, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, Who was crucified.
- 6
- He is not here; He has risen, as He said [He would do]. Come, see the place where He lay.
- 7
- Then go quickly and tell His disciples, He has risen from the dead, and behold, He is going before you to Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you.
- 8
- So they left the tomb hastily with fear and great joy and ran to tell the disciples.
- 9
- And as they went, behold, Jesus met them and said, Hail (greetings)! And they went up to Him and clasped His feet and worshiped Him.
- 10
- Then Jesus said to them, Do not be alarmed and afraid; go and tell My brethren to go into Galilee, and there they will see Me.
- 11
- While they were on their way, behold, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had occurred.
- 12
- And when they [the chief priests] had gathered with the elders and had consulted together, they gave a sufficient sum of money to the soldiers,
- 13
- And said, Tell people, His disciples came at night and stole Him away while we were sleeping.
- 14
- And if the governor hears of it, we will appease him and make you safe and free from trouble and care.
- 15

- 20
