1. Now after the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.
2. Suddenly there was a severe earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descending from heaven came and rolled away the stone and sat on it.
3. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow.
4. The guards were shaken and became like dead men because they were so afraid of him.
