But the angel answered and said to the women, "Do not be afraid: for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here: For He is risen, as He said."
Matthew 28, Mark 16, Luke 24, John 20

On Sunday morning, two days after the death and burial of Jesus, some women went very early, as soon as it was light, to the tomb in the garden. One of these women was Mary Magdalene, another was also named Mary, and another was named Salome. They were bringing some more fragrant gums and spices to place in the wrappings upon the body of Jesus. And as they went they said to each other, "Who will roll away for us the great stone at the door of the cave?"

But when they came to the cave, they saw that the seal was broken, the stone was rolled away, and the soldiers who had been on guard were gone. There stood the tomb of Jesus all open! They did not know that before they came to the tomb there had been an earthquake, and that an angel had come down from heaven and rolled away the stone, and sat upon it.

When the soldiers on guard saw the angel, with his flashing face, and his dazzling garments, they fell to the ground as though they were dead, and as soon as they could rise up, they fled away from the spot in terror, so when the women came there was no man in sight.

As soon as Mary Magdalene saw that the tomb was open, without stopping to look into it, she ran quickly to tell the disciples. A moment after she had gone, the other women looked into the tomb, and they saw that the body of Jesus was not there.

But they saw sitting at each end of the tomb a young man, clothed in a long white garment. Their faces shone like angels, and when the women saw them they were filled with fear. One of the angels said to them "Do not be afraid, you are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is not here. He is risen, as he said that he would rise from the dead. Come, see the place where the Lord lay and then go and tell his disciples, and tell Peter too, that Jesus will go before you into Galilee, and you shall see him there."
