66 And they went and made the tomb secure with (A)the guard, (B)sealing (C)the stone.

Jesus Is Risen!

28 (D)Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, (E)Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the tomb. And behold, a severe earthquake had occurred, for (F)an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled away (G)the stone, and sat upon it. And (H)his appearance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. The guards shook from fear of him and became like dead men. And the angel said to the women, “[a](I)Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified. He is not here, for He has risen, (J)just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying.
