1  After the Sabbath, as Sunday morning was dawning, Mary Magdalene   and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.

2  Suddenly there was a violent earthquake; an angel of the Lord came down from heaven, rolled the stone away, and sat on it.
 
3  His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. 

4  The guards were so afraid that they trembled and became like dead men. 

5  The angel spoke to the women.  "You must not be afraid." he said.  "I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.  

6 He is not here; he has been raised, just as he said.  Come here and see the place where he was lying."
