Mark 16:1-8
The Resurrection
1 When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome purchased [sweet-smelling] spices, so that they might go and (a)anoint Him.(A)
2 Very early on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.
3 And they were saying to one another, “Who will roll back the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?”
4 Looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away, though it was extremely large.
5 Entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right, wearing a [long, stately] white robe; and they were amazed and bewildered.
6 And he said to them, “Do not be amazed; you are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen; He is not here. See, [here is] the place where they laid Him.(B)
7 But go, tell His disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you to Galilee; you will see Him there, just as He told you.’”(C)
8 They went out and fled from the tomb, for they were seized with trembling and astonishment; and they said nothing [about it] to anyone, because they were afraid.
