Mark 16:1-8
1When the sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of
James, and
Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint [Jesus’
body]. 2And very early on
the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the
tomb. 3They had been
saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us from
the entrance to the
tomb?” 4When they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was
very large, had already
been rolled back. 5As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man,
dressed in a white
robe, sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed. 6But he
said to them, “Do not be
alarmed; you are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified.
He has been raised; he
is not here. Look, there is the place they laid him. 7But go, tell
his disciples and Peter that
he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him, just
as he told you.” 8So they
went out and fled from the tomb, for terror and amazement had
seized them; and they
said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.
