Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. 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 on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing 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. ... Matthew 28:1-6 (ESV)
“Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you...
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is ...
but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.” Luke 10:42
