MT 28:1 Now late on the sabbath day, as it began to dawn toward the first `day' of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
MT 28:2 And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled away the stone, and sat upon it.
MT 28:3 His appearance was as lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
MT 28:4 and for fear of him the watchers did quake, and became as dead men.
MT 28:5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye; for I know that ye seek Jesus, who hath been crucified.
MT 28:6 He is not here; for he is risen, even as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
MT 28:7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples, He is risen from the dead; and lo, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.

latest CNN report
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Envoys huddling in Washington believe they can "reach an acceptable solution" to the developing rift between Colombia and its neighbors, a leader of the diplomatic group said.
Organization of American States diplomats meet Wednesday in Washington.
1 of 3 Delegates made progress during nine hours of meetings that ended around 1:20 a.m. Wednesday, said Cornelius A. Smith, president of the permanent council of the Organization of American States.
Diplomats from Ecuador and Colombia discussed forming a commission to investigate a Colombian attack inside Ecuador on Saturday that killed 22 members of a Colombian rebel group, including the organization's second in command.
They made no decision and plan to resume talks at 11 a.m. Wednesday at the Organization of American States in Washington. Watch nations exchange threats »
"We are confident that we will reach an acceptable solution," said Smith, of the Bahamas.
The Colombian police and military crossed the Ecuadoran border Saturday and killed Raul Reyes, the No. 2 leader of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC.
Ecuador cut diplomatic relations with Colombia after the attack and sent troops toward the border. Venezuela also has moved troops closer to its border
Presidents Rafael Correa of Ecuador and Hugo Chavez of Venezuela share leftist political philosophies with FARC, but Colombia's President Alvaro Uribe is a rightist who receives backing from the United States to fight drug traffickers. Learn more about the countries »
Colombia says it recovered evidence after the strike suggesting that a senior Ecuadoran official made recent overtures toward FARC, which has fought to overthrow the Colombian government for more than 40 years.
In addition, Colombia says it obtained evidence after the strike that Chavez funneled money to FARC, which holds an estimated 750 hostages in the South American jungle.
Colombian officials have apologized for taking their attack against FARC into Ecuador, but Correa has said the apology isn't enough.
President Bush weighed in from the White House on Tuesday, saying that he told Uribe "that America fully supports Colombia's democracy, and that we firmly oppose any acts of aggression that could destabilize the region."
"I told him that America will continue to stand with Colombia as it confronts violence and terror and fights drug traffickers," Bush said.
J. Robert Manzanares, the U.S. envoy to the OAS, called for a full investigation into Saturday's events.
"It is imperative that we obtain all the facts, so that the full context of this issue is understood by all," he said, adding that the matter should be dealt with by the countries most affected.
