And behold,a severeearthquakehad occurred,for an angelof the Lorddescendedfrom heavenand cameand rolled awaythe stoneand satupon it.
and laidit in his own newtomb,whichhe had hewnout in the rock;and he rolleda largestoneagainst the entranceof the tomband went away.
And they wentand madethe gravesecure,and along with the guardthey set a sealon the stone.
Nowon the first[day] of the weekMaryMagdalenecameearlyto the tomb,while it was stilldark,and sawthe stone[already] taken awayfrom the tomb.
and suddenlythere camea greatearthquake,sothat the foundationsof the prison housewere shaken;and immediatelyallthe doorswere openedand everyone'schainswere unfastened.
But duringthe nightan angelof the Lordopenedthe gatesof the prison,and takingthem out he said,
By common confession,greatis the mysteryof godliness:He whowas revealedin the flesh,Was vindicatedin the Spirit,Seenby angels,Proclaimedamongthe nations,Believedon in the world,Takenup in glory.
It was revealedto them that they were not servingthemselves,but you, in these thingswhichnowhave been announcedto you throughthosewho preached the gospelto you by the HolySpiritsentfrom heaven--things into whichangelslongto look.
And the templeof Godwhich is in heavenwas opened;and the arkof His covenantappearedin His temple,and there were flashes of lightningand soundsand peals of thunderand an earthquakeand a greathailstorm.
