1 After the Sabbath, Mary Magdalene, Salome, and Marythe mother of Jamesbought some spices to put on Jesus' body. 2 Very early on Sunday morning, just as the sun was coming up, they went to the tomb. 3 On their way, they were asking one another, "Who will roll the stone away from the entrance for us?" 4 But when they looked, they saw that the stone had already been rolled away. And it was a huge stone!
5 The women went into the tomb, and on the right side they saw a young man in a white robe sitting there. They were alarmed.
6 The man said, "Don’t be alarmed! You are looking for Jesusfrom Nazareth, who was nailed to a cross. God has raised him to life, and he isn’t here. You can see the place where they put his body. 7 Mt 26.32;Mk 14.28.Now go and tell his disciples, and especially Peter, that he will go ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there, just as he told you."
8 When the women ran from the tomb, they were confused and shaking all over. They were too afraid to tell anyone what had happened.

Peter, called Simon, a fisherman of Galilee, was one of the twelve apostles; he confessed Jesus as the Christ, denied him three times, and later preached at Pentecost (Matthew 16:16).
Galilee is the land of Nazareth and Cana, from where Jesus came to be baptized by John in the Jordan and from where crowds and women followed him (Mark 1:9).
