Mark 16

Jesus’ Resurrection Is Announced (16:1–8)

16:1 And the Sabbath having passed, Mary of Magdala, and Mary [the mother] of Jacob, and Salome bought spices so that they might go and anoint him. 2 And very early on the first day of the week, the sun having risen, they come to the tomb. 3 And they were saying to each other, “Who will roll away for us the stone from the entrance to the tomb?” 4 And having looked up, they see that the stone had been rolled away—it was extremely large indeed! 5 And having entered into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right, wearing a white robe, and they were really stunned. 6 But he says to them, “Don’t be stunned. You seek Jesus the Nazarene—the one who was crucified. He has been raised. He is not here. Look! [This is] the place where they laid him. 7 But go. Say to his disciples and to Peter that he goes before you into Galilee. There you will see him, as he said to you.” 8 And having gone out, they fled from the tomb, trembling and amazement having taken hold of them, and they said nothing to anyone because they were awestruck.
