1 After the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Marythe mother of James, and Salomebought spices to go and anoint the body of Jesus. 2 Very early on Sunday morning, at sunrise, they went to the tomb. 3,4 On the way they said to one another, "Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?" (It was a very large stone.) Then they looked up and saw that the stone had already been rolled back. 5 So they entered the tomb, where they saw a young man sitting at the right, wearing a white robe—and they were alarmed.
6 "Don’t be alarmed," he said. "I know you are looking for Jesusof Nazareth, who was crucified. He is not here—he has been raised! Look, here is the place where he was placed. 7 Mt 26.32;Mk 14.28Now go and give this message to his disciples, including Peter: ‘He is going to Galileeahead of you; there you will see him, just as he told you.’"
8 So they went out and ran from the tomb, distressed and terrified. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.16.8: Some manuscripts and ancient translations do not have this ending to the Gospel (verses 9-20).
