Matthew 28:5–7
The angel tells the women that Jesus has been raised
Study it word by word5But the angel answered the women, “Do not be afraid, you, for I know that you are seeking Jesus, who has been crucified.
6He is not here, for he has been raised, just as he said. Come, see the place where he was lying.
7And go quickly and tell his disciples that ‘He has been raised from the dead, and look, he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him.’ Look, I have told you.”
In its context
3And his appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow.
4And for fear of him the guards shook and became like dead men.
…
8And going away quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, they ran to tell his disciples.
9And look, Jesus met them, saying, “Greetings.” And they came up and took hold of his feet and bowed down before him.
