1
The day after the Sabbath day, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought some sweet-smelling spices to put on Jesus' body.
2
Very early on that day, the first day of the week, soon after sunrise, the women were on their way to the tomb.
3
They said to each other, "Who will roll away for us the stone that covers the entrance of the tomb?"
4
Then the women looked and saw that the stone had already been rolled away, even though it was very large.
5
The women entered the tomb and saw a young man wearing a white robe and sitting on the right side, and they were afraid.
6
But the man said, "Don't be afraid. You are looking for Jesus from Nazareth, who has been crucified. He has risen from the dead; he is not here. Look, here is the place they laid him.
7
Now go and tell his followers and Peter, 'Jesus is going into Galilee ahead of you, and you will see him there as he told you before.'"
8
The women were confused and shaking with fear, so they left the tomb and ran away. They did not tell anyone about what happened, because they were afraid. Verses
