Mark 16
1When the Sabbath was over, Mary
Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so
that they might go to anoint Jesus' body. 2Very early on the first
day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the
tomb 3and they asked each other, "Who will roll the stone away from
the entrance of the tomb?"
4But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very
large, had been rolled away. 5As they entered the tomb, they saw a
young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and
they were alarmed.
6"Don't be alarmed," he said. "You are looking for Jesus the
Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the
place where they laid him. 7But go, tell his disciples and Peter,
'He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just
as he told you.' "
8Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the
tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.
9When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared
first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had driven seven demons.
10She went and told those who had been with him and who were
mourning and weeping. 11When they heard that Jesus was alive and
that she had seen him, they did not believe it.
