Mark 16:1–11

RESURRECTION MORNING

16Whenⁿ the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene,^o Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so that they could go and anoint him. ²Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week,^p they went to the tomb^q at sunrise. ³They were saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone from the entrance to the tomb for us?” ⁴Looking up, they noticed that the stone—which was very large—had been rolled away.

⁵When^r they entered the tomb,^s they saw a young man^t dressed^u in a white^v robe sitting on the right side; they were alarmed. ⁶“Don’t be alarmed,” he told them. “You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth,^w who was crucified. He has risen!^x He is not here. See the place where they put him. ⁷But go, tell his disciples and Peter,^y ‘He is going ahead of you to Galilee;^z you will see him there just as he told you.’ ”

⁸They went out and ran from the tomb,^aa because trembling and astonishment overwhelmed them. And they said nothing to anyone,^ab since they were afraid.
