An dem österlichen Tag Maria Magdalena ging zu dem Grab; was fand sie in dem Grabe stehn? Einen Engel wohlgetan. Der Engel grüsst sie in der Zeit: "Den da suchet das vielselige Weib, er ist erstanden von dem Tod, den du salben wolltest". "Maria!" ruft er ihr zu hant, da erkennt sie ihren Heiland, sie sah in aller der Gebärde, sann er ein Wärter wäre.

Nel giorno di Pasqua Maria Maddalena andò al sepolcro; chi trovò in piedi nel sepolcro? Uno splendido angelo. L'angelo la saluta all'istante: "Colui che qui viene a cercare la beatissima donna, è risorto da morte quegli che tu volevi ungere". "Maria!" le grida per fermarla, sì ch'ella riconosce il suo Salvatore; da tutti i suoi gesti aveva pensato che fosse un guardiano.
