When the Sabbath was over, Mary of Magdala, Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, in order to come and anoint His body.
2
So, very soon after sunrise on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb;
3
and they were saying to one another, `Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?"
4
But then, looking up, they saw that the stone was already rolled back: for it was of immense size.
5
Upon entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting at their right hand, clothed in a long white robe. They were astonished and terrified.

7
But go and tell His disciples and Peter that He is going before you into Galilee: and that there you will see Him, as He told you."
8
