Matt 27:58 This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it to be given to him.
Matt 27:59 And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
Matt 27:60 and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock; and he rolled a large stone against the entrance of the tomb and went away.
Matt 27:61 And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the grave.
Matt 27:62 ¶ Now on the next day, the day after the preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered together with Pilate,
Matt 27:63 and said, "Sir, we remember that when He was still alive that deceiver said, 'After three days I am to rise again.'
Matt 27:64 "Therefore, give orders for the grave to be made secure until the third day, otherwise His disciples may come and steal Him away and say to the people, 'He has risen from the dead,' and the last deception will be worse than the first."
Matt 27:65 Pilate said to them, "You have a guard; go, make it as secure as you know how."
Matt 27:66 And they went and made the grave secure, and along with the guard they set a seal on the stone.
Matt 28:1 Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the grave.
Matt 28:2 And behold, a severe earthquake had occurred, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it.
Matt 28:3 And his appearance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow.
Matt 28:4 The guards shook for fear of him and became like dead men.
Matt 28:5 The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified.
Matt 28:6 "He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying.
Matt 28:7 "Go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead; and behold, He is going ahead of you into Galilee, there you will see Him; behold, I have told you."
Matt 28:8 ¶ And they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy and ran to report it to His disciples.
Matt 28:9 And behold, Jesus met them and greeted them. And they came up and took hold of His feet and worshiped Him.
Matt 28:10 Then Jesus *said to them, "Do not be afraid; go and take word to My brethren to leave for Galilee, and there they will see Me."
Matt 28:11 ¶ Now while they were on their way, some of the guard came into the city and reported to the chief priests all that had happened.
