65 Pilate said to them, “You have (A)a guard[a] of soldiers. Go, make it as secure as you can.” 66 So they went and made the tomb secure by (B)sealing the stone and setting a guard.

The Resurrection

28 (C)Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and (D)the other Mary went to see the tomb. And behold, there was a great earthquake, for (E)an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. (F)His appearance was like lightning, and (G)his clothing white as snow. And for fear of him the guards trembled and (H)became like dead men.
