Resurrection of Jesus (Matthew 28:1-10)
The passage describes the miraculous event of Jesus' resurrection. It highlights the emotions of fear, wonder, and joy experienced by the women who discover the empty tomb and encounter both an angel and Jesus himself. The text emphasizes the divine intervention in the form of an earthquake and the angel's appearance, as well as the fulfillment of Jesus' promise to rise from the dead. The women are given the crucial task of sharing the news of the resurrection with the disciples, setting the stage for the events that follow in the early Christian church.
