Matthew 28:1-10

International Standard Version

Jesus is Raised from the Dead^(A)

28 After the Sabbaths,^[a] around dawn on the first day of the week,^[b] Mary Magdalene^[c] and the other Mary went to take a look at the burial site.^{[d] 2} Suddenly, there was a powerful earthquake, because an angel of the Lord had come down from heaven, approached the stone, rolled it away, and was sitting on top of it. ³ His appearance was bright as lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. ⁴ Trembling from fear, even the guards themselves became catatonic.^[e]

⁵ Responding to the women, the angel said, “Stop being frightened! I know you’re looking for Jesus, who was crucified. ⁶ He is not here. He has been raised, just as he said. Come and see the place where he^[f] was lying. ⁷ Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead. He is going ahead of you into Galilee, and you will see him there. Remember, I have told you!”

⁸ So they quickly left the tomb, terrified but also ecstatic, and ran to tell Jesus’^[g] disciples. ⁹ Suddenly, Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” They went up to him, took hold of his feet, and worshipped him. ¹⁰ Then Jesus told them, “Stop being frightened! Go and tell my brothers to leave for Galilee, and they will see me there.”
