Mark 16:1–11

The Resurrection

^1aWhen the Sabbath was over, ^bMary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of ¹James, and Salome, ^cbought spices, so that they might come and anoint Him.

²Very early on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.

³They were saying to one another, “Who will roll away ^athe stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?”

⁴Looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away, ¹although it was extremely large.

^5aEntering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting at the right, wearing a white robe; and they ^bwere amazed.

⁶And he said to them, “^aDo not be amazed; you are looking for Jesus the ^bNazarene, who has been crucified. ^cHe has risen; He is not here; behold, here is the place where they laid Him.

⁷“But go, tell His disciples and Peter, ‘^aHe is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see Him, just as He told you.’ ”

⁸They went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had gripped them; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.

⁹¹Now after He had risen early on the first day of the week, He first appeared to ^aMary Magdalene, from whom He had cast out seven demons.

^10aShe went and reported to those who had been with Him, while they were mourning and weeping.

¹¹When they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, ^athey refused to believe it.
