Matthew 28:1-10

1 After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week,Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the

tomb. 2 There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of

the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb,

rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3 His appearance waslike lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. 4 The

guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became

like dead men. 5 The angel said to the women, "Do not beafraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was

crucified. 6 He is not here; he has risen, just as he said.

Come and see the place where he lay.

hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and

ran to tell his disciples. 9 Suddenly Jesus met them.

"Greetings," he said. They came to him, clasped his feet

and worshiped him. 10 Then Jesus said to them, "Do not

A Roman guard unit--which

usually consisted of four soldiers--was stationed at the tomb. Roman

guards were strictly disciplinedfighting men held to the highest

standards. Failure often required

death by torturous and

humiliating methods.

The Roman seal was affixed to the stone

that secured the tomb. The seal stood forthe power and authority of the Roman

Empire. Breaking the seal meant automatic

execution by crucifixion upside down.Anyone trying to move the stone from the

tomb's entrance would have broken the

seal and thus incurred the wrath of Roman

law.

still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7 Then he
