Mark 16:1-13 ▼

1 When the Sabbath was over, Mary (beloved) Magdalene (of Magdala), Mary the mother of James (supplanter / follower), and Salome (peace) bought spices so they could go and anoint the body of Jesus.

2 Very early on the first day of the week \And very early on the first of the Sabbaths,/, just after sunrise, they went to the tomb.

3 They were asking one another, “Who will roll away the stone from the entrance of the tomb?

4 But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away, even though it was extremely large.

5 When they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.

6 But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You⁺ are looking for Jesus (YHWH saves) the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here! See (behold) the place where they put Him.

7 But go, tell His disciples (pupils) and Peter (rock), ‘He is going ahead of you⁺ into Galilee (circuit). There you⁺ will see Him, just as He told you⁺.

8 So the women left the tomb and ran away, trembling and bewildered. And in their fear they did not say a word to anyone.

9 Early on the first day of the week, after Jesus had risen, He appeared first to Mary (beloved) Magdalene (of Magdala), from whom He had driven out seven demons.

10 She went and told those who had been with Him, who were mourning and weeping.

11 And when they heard that Jesus was alive and she had seen Him, they did not believe it.

12 After this, Jesus appeared in a different form to two of them as they walked along in the country.

13 And they went back and reported it to the rest, but they did not believe (have faith) them either.
