The angel’s appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were as white as snow. The guards shook, paralyzed with fear of him and became like dead men. And a great earthquake had occurred, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled away the stone and sat on it. Now after the Sabbath, near dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.And Joseph took the body and…laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut in the rock and he rolled a large stone over the entrance of the tomb and went away.So they took the body of Jesus and bound it in linen cloth with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews.When the centurion and those who were with him, keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were filled with awe and said, “Truly this was the Son of God!” Matthew 27:54.The centurion, seeing what had happened, praised God and said, “Surely this was a righteous man.” Luke 23:46-47 Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” When he had said this, he breathed his last.There they crucified Him, and with Him two other men, one on either side, and Jesus in between.“You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man is to be handed over for crucifixion.” Matthew 26:2.
