** They Came to His Tomb **

After the Sabbath,
at dawn on 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 angel said to the women,
"Do not be afraid,
for I now 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."

(Matthew 28:1-6)
