| 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. 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. His
appearance was as lightning, and his raiment white as
snow: and for fear of him the watchers did quake, and
became as dead men. And the angel answered and said unto
the women, Fear not ye; for I know that ye seek Jesus,
who hath been crucified. He is not here; for he is risen,
even as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
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. And they departed
quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran
to bring his disciples word. |
