Matthew 28:7-9 New English Translation
7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has been raised from the dead. He[a] is going ahead of you into Galilee. You will see him there.’ Listen, I have told you!” 8 So[b] they left the tomb quickly, with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. 9 But[c] Jesus met them, saying, “Greetings!” They[d] came to him, held on to his feet and worshiped him.
