Jesus Is Risen!
Matthew 28:1–10; Mark 16:1–10; Luke 24:1–11; John 20:1–18
After Jesus died, some of his
friends laid his body in a big tomb.
They sealed it shut with a large round
stone. Soldiers guarded the tomb.
Three days later, the earth shook. An angel
of the Lord came down from heaven and
pushed the stone away from the tomb.
Then the angel sat on the stone.
When the soldiers saw the angel,
they fell to the ground.
Mary was walking to the tomb with some
of her friends. They saw the angel, who
said, “Do not be afraid. Jesus is not here.
He has risen!”
“Go and tell Peter and the other disciples
that Jesus is alive!”
On their way, the women saw Jesus.
They fell to their knees and worshiped
him. Jesus smiled and said, “Go tell the
others that I will see them in Galilee.”
So Mary ran to tell the disciples.
