Summary for the teacher
Very early on Sunday, two women named Mary went to Jesus’ tomb. The ground shook, an angel rolled away the stone and said: "He is not here; he has risen!". On the way, Jesus himself appeared to them. Later, he sent his disciples to tell everyone about him and promised to be with us always.
