Mark 16:1-8

The Resurrection

1 ^{1 2}When the Sabbath was past, ³Mary Magdalene, ⁴Mary the mother of James, and ⁵Salome ⁶bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him.

2 And very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb.

3 And they were saying to one another, “Who will roll away ⁷the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb? ”

4 And looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled back— ⁸it was very large.

5 And ⁹entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, ¹⁰dressed in ¹¹a white robe, and ¹²they were alarmed.

6 And he said to them, ¹³“Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen; he is not here. See the place where they laid him.

7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter that ¹⁴he is going before you to Galilee. There you will see him, ¹⁵just as he told you. ”

8 And they went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had seized them, and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid. [Some of the earliest manuscripts do not include 16:9–20. ] ^[a]
