Matthew 28:8-9

28:8 So ¹  they left the tomb quickly, with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. 28:9 But ²  Jesus met them, saying, “Greetings!” They ³  came to him, held on to his feet and worshiped him.

[28:8]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the angel’s instructions to tell the disciples.

[28:9]  ² tn Grk “And behold.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate that the return of the women from the tomb was interrupted by this appearance of Jesus. The Greek word ἰδού (idou) has not been translated because it has no exact English equivalent here, but adds interest and emphasis (BDAG 468 s.v. 1).

[28:9]  ³ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
