Mark 16:1–11

Resurrection Morning

16When ^dthe Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, ^eMary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so they could go and anoint Him. ²Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, ^fthey went to the tomb ^gat sunrise. ³They were saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone from the entrance to the tomb for us?” ⁴Looking up, they observed that the stone—which was very large—had been rolled away. ⁵When ^hthey entered the tomb, ⁱthey saw a young man ^jkdressed ^lin a long white ^mrobe sitting on the right side; they were amazed and alarmed.

⁶“Don’t be alarmed,” he told them. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, ⁿwho was crucified. He has been resurrected! ^oHe is not here! See the place where they put Him. ⁷But go, tell His disciples and Peter, ^p‘He is going ahead of you to Galilee; ^qyou will see Him there just as He told you.’ ”

⁸So they went out and started running from the tomb, ^rbecause trembling and astonishment overwhelmed them. And they said nothing to anyone, ^ssince they were afraid.

Appearances of the Risen Lord

⁹Early ^ton the first day of the week, ^uafter He had risen, ^vHe appeared first to Mary Magdalene, ^wout of whom He had driven seven demons. ^x10She went and reported to those who had been with Him, as they were mourning and weeping. ¹¹Yet, when they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe it. ^y
