Original Christian artwork: Resurrection of Jesus Christ
from the dead.
Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the
week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the
sepulcher. And behold, there was a great earthquake; for
an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled
back the stone, and sat upon it. His appearance was like
lightning, and his raiment white as snow. And for fear of
him the guards trembled and became like dead men.
But the angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid; for I know
that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the
place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples
that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before
you to Galilee; there you will see him. Lo, I have told you."
So they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy,
and ran to tell his disciples. And behold, Jesus met them
and said, "Hail!" And they came up and took hold of his feet and
worshiped him. Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid;
go and tell my brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will
see me."
While they were going, behold, some of the guard went into the
city and told the chief priests all that had taken place.
And when they had assembled with the elders and taken counsel,
they gave a sum of money to the soldiers and said, "Tell people,
‘His disciples came by night and stole him away while we were
asleep.’ And if this comes to the governor’s ears, we will
satisfy him and keep you out of trouble." So they took the
money and did as they were directed; and this story has been
spread among the Jews to this day. — Matthew 28:1-15, RSV
