Mark 16:3-13

3 They were saying to one another, "Who will roll away the stone from the entrance to the tomb for us?"
4 Looking up, they observed that the stone-which was very large-had been rolled away.
5 When they entered the tomb, they saw a young man[a] dressed in a long white robe sitting on the right side; they were amazed and alarmed.[b]
6 "Don't be alarmed," he told them. "You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has been resurrected! He is not here! See the place where they put Him.
7 But go, tell His disciples and Peter, 'He is going ahead of you to Galilee; you will see Him there just as He told you.' "
8 So they went out and started running from the tomb, because trembling and astonishment overwhelmed them. And they said nothing to anyone, since they were afraid. [

Appearances of the Risen Lord

9 Early on the first day of the week, after He had risen, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had driven seven demons.
10 She went and reported to those who had been with Him, as they were mourning and weeping.
11 Yet, when they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe it.
12 Then after this, He appeared in a different form to two of them walking on their way into the country.
13 And they went and reported it to the rest, who did not believe them either.
