After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, MaryMagdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.
and they asked each other, "Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?"
They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,
but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
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.
In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, "Why do you look for the living among the dead?
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."
So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples.
He asked her, "Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?" Thinking he was the gardener, she said, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him."
Jesus said to her, "Mary." She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, "Rabboni!" (which means "Teacher").
for a sweet treat for neighbors and friends.
