After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to visit the tomb.

Suddenly, there was a violent earthquake: an angel of the Lord descending from heaven, came to the stone, rolled it away from the entrance of the tomb, and sat on it.

His appearance was like lightning, and his garment was white as snow.

When they saw the angel, the guards were filled with terror.

The angel said to the women:

“Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified.

He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where they laid him;

then go immediately and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there. This is my message to you.

In fear yet with great joy, the women left the tomb and ran to tell the news to his disciples.

He Appears to the Women

Suddenly, Jesus met them on the road and said:

Rejoice!”

The women approached him, bowed down at his feet, and worshiped him.

Then Jesus said to them:

Do not be afraid! Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.”
