After he had died and been lain in the tomb, the religious leaders had a great stone placed across the entrance and soldiers were ordered to guard it so no one could steel his body or tamper with his body.

It was a sad morning on the first day of the week, as Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to the tomb where their teacher had been lain.  As they came to the tomb, suddenly, there was a great earthquake; an angel of the Lord, descending from heaven, came and rolled back the stone and sat on it.

The angel's appearance was like lightning and his clothing as white as snow.  For fear of him, the guards shook and became like dead men.  But the angel said to Mary Magdalene and the other Mary, "Do not be afraid; I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified.  He is not here; for he has been raised, as Jesus said.  Come, see the place where he lay.  Then go quickly and tell his disciples, "Jesus has been raised from the dead, and indeed he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will find Jesus.' This is my message for you."

So Mary Magdalene and the other Mary left the tomb and the angel quickly with fear and great joy and ran to tell Jesus' disciples.  On their way, suddenly, Jesus met them and said, "Rejoice!" and they came to him, took hold of his feet, and worshiped him.  Then Jesus said to Mary Magdalene and the other Mary, "Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me."

Mary Magdalene and the other Mary ran to tell the others about Jesus.
