Matt.28:2  An angel of the Lord came down from heaven, and rolled back the stone,
and sat on it.
Matt.28:5  And said to the women: Do not be afraid: for I know that you seek the crucified:
Matt.28:6  He has risen: come and see the place where the Lord was lain.
Alleluia.

Mark 16:5  And they went into the tomb, and saw a young man sitting on the right,
clothed in white robes, and stopped;
Mark 16:6  And he said to them:
Matt.28:5  Do not be afraid: for I know that you seek the crucified:
Matt.28:6  He has risen: come and see the place where the Lord had lain.
Alleluia.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
