Matthew 28: 2,5,6 [Latin] And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.

And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

Original Latin:

Angelus enim[autem] Domini descendit de coelo, et accedens revolvit lapidem, et super eum sedit. Et dixit mulieribus: Nolite timere: scio enim quia crucifixum quaeritis: Iam surrexit: venite, et videte locum, ubi positus erat Dominus. Alleluja.
