Mark 16:1-6

1 When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so they could embalm him.
2 Very early on Sunday morning, as the sun rose, they went to the tomb.
3 They worried out loud to each other, "Who will roll back the stone from the tomb for us?"
4 Then they looked up, saw that it had been rolled back - it was a huge stone - and walked right in.
5 They saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed all in white. They were completely taken aback, astonished
6 He said, "Don't be afraid. I know you're looking for Jesus the Nazarene, the One they nailed on the cross. He's been raised up; he's here no longer. You can see for yourselves that the place is empty.
