There was a violent earthquake,(A) for an angel(B) of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone(C) and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow.(D) The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.

So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. Suddenly Jesus met them.(A) “Greetings,” he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him. 10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers(B) to go to Galilee; there they will see me.”

The Guards’ Report

11 While the women were on their way, some of the guards(C) went into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had happened. 12 When the chief priests had met with the elders and devised a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money, 13 telling them, “You are to say, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole him away(D) while we were asleep.’ 14 If this report gets to the governor,(E) we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.” 15 So the soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has been widely circulated among the Jews to this very day.

When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others. 10 It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them(A) who told this to the apostles.(B) 11 But they did not believe(C) the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense.

So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb.(A) Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. He bent over and looked in(B) at the strips of linen(C) lying there but did not go in. Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus’ head.(D) The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from the linen. Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first,(E) also went inside. He saw and believed. (They still did not understand from Scripture(F) that Jesus had to rise from the dead.)(G) 10 Then the disciples went back to where they were staying.

Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene

11 Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb(H) 12 and saw two angels in white,(I) seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot.

13 They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?”(J)

“They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.”(K) 14 At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there,(L) but she did not realize that it was Jesus.(M)

15 He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?(N) Who is it you are looking for?”

Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.”

16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.”

She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic,(O) “Rabboni!”(P) (which means “Teacher”).

17 Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers(Q) and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father(R) and your Father, to my God and your God.’”

18 Mary Magdalene(S) went to the disciples(T) with the news: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her.
