28:1 Now late on the sabbath day, as it began to dawn toward the first `day' of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. 28:2 And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled away the stone, and sat upon it. 28:3 His appearance was as lightning, and his raiment white as snow: 28:4 and for fear of him the watchers did quake, and became as dead men. 28:5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye; for I know that ye seek Jesus, who hath been crucified. 28:6 He is not here; for he is risen, even as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. 28:7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples, He is risen from the dead; and lo, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you. 28:8 And they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring his disciples word.
