“So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the
stone, and setting a watch. In the end of the sabbath, as it
began to dawn toward the first [day] of the week, came Mary
Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. And,
behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the
Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the
stone from the door, and sat upon it. His countenance was
like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: And for fear
of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead [men].” (Mt
27:66-28:4 av) |
“So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure by
sealing the stone. After the sabbath, as the first day of
the week was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went
to see the tomb. And suddenly there was a great earthquake;
for an angel of the Lord, descending from heaven, came and
rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like
lightning, and his clothing white as snow. For fear of him
the guards shook and became like dead men.” (Mt 27:66-28:4
