The Resurrection (MRK 16:1-8)

[16:1] When the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him.

[16:2] And very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb.

[16:3] And they were saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?”

[16:4] And looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled back—it was very large.

[16:5] And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe, and they were alarmed.

[16:6] And he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen; he is not here. See the place where they laid him.

[16:7] But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going before you to Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.”

[16:8] And they went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had seized them, and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid. [Some of the earliest manuscripts do not include 16:9–20.]
