1
And when the sabbath was past, Mary Mag'dalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salo'me, bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him.
2
And very early on the first day of the week they went to the tomb when the sun had risen.
3
And they were saying to one another, "Who will roll away the stone for us from the door of the tomb?"
4
And looking up, they saw that the stone was rolled back; --it was very large.
5
And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe; and they were amazed.
6
And he said to them, "Do not be amazed; 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 he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him, as he told you."
8
And they went out and fled from the tomb; for trembling and astonishment had come upon them; and they said nothing to any one, for they were afraid.
