Matthew 28:1-10

Tree of Life Version

The Son Is Risen!

28 Now after Shabbat, as it began to dawn on the first day of the week, Miriam of Magdala and the other Miriam came to look at the tomb. ² And suddenly there was a great earthquake, for an angel of Adonai descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. ³ His appearance was like lightning,^[a] and his clothing as white as snow. ⁴ And those keeping watch were shaken for fear of him and became like dead men.

⁵ But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know you are looking for Yeshua who was crucified. ⁶ He is not here; for He is risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He^[b] was lying. ⁷ Go quickly now and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead. And behold, He’s going before you to the Galilee. There you will see Him. See, I have told you!” ⁸ They quickly left the tomb, with fear yet with great joy, and ran to bring news to His disciples.

The Good News Cannot Be Hidden

⁹ And behold, Yeshua met them. “Shalom!” He said. They drew near, grasped his feet, and worshiped Him. ¹⁰ “Don’t be afraid,” Yeshua said to them. “Go tell My brothers to head for the Galilee, and there they will see Me.”
