The Resurrection (La Résurrection) Matthew 28:1-15 Mark 16:1-13 Luke 24:1-12 John 20:1-18 Gospel of Saint Matthew: 28:3. His countenance was as lightning and his raiment as snow. 28:4. For fear of him, the guards were struck with terror and became as dead men.

Artist's Note: Jesus rises triumphantly from the dead, which left the soldiers guarding His tomb "struck with terror and [become] as dead men" at the sight of Him. "His face shines forth and the wounds on his head, hands, feet, and chest glow bright white." The angel inside the tomb on Jesus' left side will be the one to reassure Mary Magdalene and her women companions that Jesus has risen from the dead. The brilliance of other angels is seen on the inside of the sepulchre. Source:The Brooklyn Museum
