As told to us by Matthew:
After the sabbath, as the first day of the week
was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. And suddenly there was a
great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord, descending from heaven, came and
rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like
lightning, and his clothing white as snow. For fear of him the
guards shook and became like dead men. But the angel said to the
women, ‘Do not be afraid; I know that you are looking for Jesus who was
crucified. He is not here; for he has been raised, as he
said. Come, see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell
his disciples, “He has been raised from the dead, and indeed he is going ahead of you to
Galilee; there you will see him.” This is my message for you.’ So they left the tomb
quickly with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. Suddenly Jesus met them
and said, ‘Greetings!’ And they came to him, took hold of his feet, and
worshipped him. Then Jesus said to them, ‘Do not be afraid; go
and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.’
