Matthew 28:2-9

Holman Christian Standard Bible

² Suddenly there was a violent earthquake, because an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and approached the tomb. He rolled back the stone and was sitting on it.^{(A) 3} His appearance was like lightning, and his robe was as white as snow.^{(B) 4} The guards were so shaken from fear of him that they became like dead men.

⁵ But the angel told the women, “Don’t be afraid, because I know you are looking for Jesus who was crucified.^{(C) 6} He is not here! For He has been resurrected, just as He said. Come and see the place where He lay.^{(D) 7} Then go quickly and tell His disciples,^(E) ‘He has been raised from the dead. In fact, He is going ahead of you to Galilee; you will see Him there.’ Listen, I have told you.”^(F)

⁸ So, departing quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, they ran to tell His disciples the news. ⁹ Just then^[a] Jesus met them and said, “Good morning!” They came up, took hold of His feet, and worshiped Him.^(G)
