4. And those keeping guard were so frightened at the sight of him that they were agitated and they trembled and became like dead men.

5. But the angel said to the women, Do not be alarmed and frightened, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, Who was crucified.

6. He is not here; He has risen, as He said [He would do]. Come, see the place where He lay.

7. Then go quickly and tell His disciples, He has risen from the dead, and behold, He is going before you to Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you.

8. So they left the tomb hastily with fear and great joy and ran to tell the disciples.

10. Then Jesus said to them, Do not be alarmed and afraid; go and tell My brethren to go into Galilee, and there they will see Me.

11. While they were on their way, behold, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had occurred.

12. And when they [the chief priests] had gathered with the elders and had consulted together, they gave a sufficient sum of money to the soldiers,

13. And said, Tell people, His disciples came at night and stole Him away while we were sleeping.
