The angels then explained the death and resurrection of Christ. They reminded the women of the words that Christ Himself had spoken, in which He had told beforehand of His crucifixion and His resurrection. These words of Jesus were now plain to them, and with fresh hope and courage they hastened away to tell the glad news.

Englene fortalte om Jesu død og opstandelse. De mindede kvinderne om de ord, Jesus selv havde udtalt, idet han forudsagde sin korsfæstelse og opstandelse. Disse ord af Jesus stod nu tydeligt for dem, og med nyt håb og nyt mod skyndte de sig bort for at fortælle de gode nyheder.
