  the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the
  other Mary went to look at the tomb. There was a
  violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came
  down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled
  back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was
  like lightning, and his clothes were white as
  snow. The guards were so afraid of him that they
  shook and became like dead men

The Resurrection

• Matthew 281-10 The angel said to the women,
  Do not be afraid, for I know that you are
  looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not
  here he has risen, just as he said. Come and see
  the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell
  his disciples He has risen from the dead and is
  going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will
  see him. Now I have told you.

The Resurrection

• Matthew 281-10 So the women hurried away from
  the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to
  tell his disciples. Suddenly Jesus met them.
  Greetings, he said. They came to him, clasped
  his feet and worshiped him. Then Jesus said to
  them, Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers
  to go to Galilee there they will see me.
