The women were shocked,6 but the angel said, \u201cDon\u2019t be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He isn\u2019t here! He is risen from the dead! Look, this is where they laid his body. 7 Now go and tell his disciples, including Peter, that Jesus is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there, just as he told you before he died.\u201d<br>8 The women fled from the tomb, trembling and bewildered, and they said nothing to anyone because they were too frightened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Did it appear that the women expected to see Jesus in the tomb?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Verse 5 references a young man and then an angel who speaks?

He rebuked them for their stubborn unbelief because they refused to believe those who had seen him after he had been raised from the dead.<br>15 And then he told them, \u201cGo into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone.16 Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned.17 These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe: They will cast out demons in my name, and they will speak in new languages. 18 They will be able to handle snakes with safety, and if they drink anything poisonous, it won\u2019t hurt them.
