Matthew 28:2-7

GOD’S WORD Translation

² Suddenly, there was a powerful earthquake. An angel of the Lord had come down from heaven, rolled the stone away, and was sitting on it. ³ He was as bright as lightning, and his clothes were as white as snow. ⁴ The guards were so deathly afraid of him that they shook.

⁵ The angel said to the women, “Don’t be afraid! I know you’re looking for Jesus, who was crucified. ⁶ He’s not here. He has been brought back to life as he said. Come, see the place where he was lying. ⁷ Then go quickly, and tell his disciples that he has been brought back to life. He’s going ahead of them into Galilee. There they will see him. Take note that I have told you.”
