Gospel according to Matthew

His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow.

For fear of him, the guards shook, and became like dead men.

The angel answered the women, "Don't be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus, who has been crucified.

He is not here, for he has risen, just like he said. Come, see the place where the Lord was lying.

Go quickly and tell his disciples, 'He has risen from the dead, and behold, he goes before you into Galilee; there you will see him.' Behold, I have told you."

They departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring his disciples word.
