Matthew:28:1-10
wmth@Matthew:28:1 @ 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.
wmth@Matthew:28:2 @ 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.
wmth@Matthew:28:3 @ His appearance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow.
wmth@Matthew:28:4 @ For fear of him the guards trembled violently, and became like dead men.
wmth@Matthew:28:5 @ 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.
wmth@Matthew:28:6 @ He is not here: He has come back to life, as He foretold. Come and see the place where He lay.
wmth@Matthew:28:7 @ 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.«
wmth@Matthew:28:8 @ They quickly left the tomb and ran, still terrified but full of unspeakable joy, to carry the news to His disciples.
wmth@Matthew:28:9 @ 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.
wmth@Matthew:28:10 @ Then He said, »Dismiss all fear! Go and take word to my brethren to go into Galilee, and there they shall see me.«
