3 The angel looked as bright as lightning, and his clothes were white as snow.
4 The guards shook from fear and fell down, as though they were dead.
5 The angel said to the women, “Don't be afraid! I know you are looking for Jesus, who was nailed to a cross.
6 He isn't here! God has raised him to life, just as Jesus said he would. Come, see the place where his body was lying.
7 Now hurry! Tell his disciples that he has been raised to life and is on his way to Galilee. Go there, and you will see him. That is what I came to tell you.”
8 The women were frightened and yet very happy, as they hurried from the tomb and ran to tell his disciples.
9 Suddenly Jesus met them and greeted them. They went near him, held on to his feet, and worshipped him.
