The King Rises From The Dead. An Angel Moves the Stone And Announces, He Is Risen.

28 Now after the Sabbath[a], in the dawning toward the first day of the week, Mary the Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the burial-place. And behold— a great earthquake took place. For an angel of the Lord— having come down from heaven, and having gone to it— rolled away the stone and was sitting on it. And his appearance was like lightning, and his clothing was white as snow. And the ones guarding were shaken from the fear of him, and became like dead men. And having responded[b], the angel said to the women, “Don’t you[c] be fearing, for I know that you are seeking Jesus, the One having been crucified. He is not here, for He arose, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying. And having gone quickly, tell His disciples that ‘He arose from the dead. And behold— He is going-ahead-of you to Galilee. You will see Him there’. Behold— I told you”.

While Running To Report This To The Disciples, The Women See The Risen Jesus

And having quickly departed from the tomb with fear and great joy, they ran to report it to His disciples. And behold— Jesus met them, saying “Greetings”. And the ones, having gone to Him, took-hold-of His feet and gave-worship to Him. 10 Then Jesus says to them, “Do not be fearing. Go, report to My brothers that[d] they should go to Galilee. And there they will see Me”.
