Mark 16:1-7

1 And the sabbath being [now] past, Mary of Magdala, and Mary the [mother] of James, and Salome, bought aromatic spices that they might come and embalm him.

2 And very early on the first [day] of the week they come to the sepulchre, the sun having risen.

3 And they said to one another, Who shall roll us away the stone out of the door of the sepulchre?

4 And when they looked, they see that the stone has been rolled [away], for it was very great.

5 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right, clothed in a white robe, and they were amazed and alarmed;

6 but he says to them, Be not alarmed. Ye seek Jesus, the Nazarene, the crucified one. He is risen, he is not here; behold the place where they had put him.

7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter, he goes before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him, as he said to you.

Footnotes

• [a]. The Greek word embraces, I think, the complex idea expressed by both 'amazed' and 'alarmed.' The second time it is used I have given the latter only, as sufficiently recalling the idea. The word occurs only here and in chs. 9.15; 14.33.
