Matthew 28:2-8
English Standard Version
2 And behold, there was a great earthquake, for (A)an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3 (B)His appearance was like lightning, and (C)his clothing white as snow. 4 And for fear of him the guards trembled and (D)became like dead men. 5 But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. 6 He is not here, for he has risen, (E)as he said. Come, see the place where he[a] lay. 7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, (F)he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. See, I have told you.” 8 So they departed quickly from the tomb (G)with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples.
