## Matthew 28:2-5 in Context (Verses 1–8 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/matthew/28/1) 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.
 
 [2 ](/kjv/matthew/28/2) 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.
 
 [3 ](/kjv/matthew/28/3) His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
 
 [4 ](/kjv/matthew/28/4) And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead *men*.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/matthew/28/5) And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
 
 [6 ](/kjv/matthew/28/6) He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/matthew/28/7) And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/matthew/28/8) And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.
