Come, see the place where he[a] lay.(D) Then go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has been raised from the dead,[b] and indeed he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him.’ This is my message for you.”(E) So they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy and ran to tell his disciples.
