* After the Sabbath , in the early dawn of the first day of the week , Mary of Magdala and the other Mary came to see the sepulchre . * But to their amazement there had been a great earthquake ; for an angel of the Lord had descended from Heaven , and had come and rolled back the stone , and was sitting upon it . * His appearance was like lightning , and his raiment white as snow . * For fear of him the guards trembled violently , and became like dead men . * But the angel said to the women , »As for you , dismiss your fears . I know that it is Jesus that you are looking for –the crucified One . * He is not here : He has come back to life , as He foretold . Come and see the place where He lay . * And go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead and is going before you into Galilee : there you shall see Him . Remember , I have told you .« * They quickly left the tomb and ran , still terrified but full of unspeakable joy , to carry the news to His disciples . * And then suddenly they saw Jesus coming to meet them . »Peace be to you ,« He said . And they came and clasped His feet , bowing to the ground before Him . * Then He said , »Dismiss all fear ! Go and take word to my brethren to go into Galilee , and there they shall see me .«
