The Resurrection

16 When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome purchased [sweet-smelling] spices, so that they might go and ^[a]anoint Him.^{(A) 2} Very early on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen. ³ And they were saying to one another, “Who will roll back the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?” ⁴ Looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away, though it was extremely large. ⁵ Entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right, wearing a [long, stately] white robe; and they were amazed and bewildered. ⁶ And he said to them, “Do not be amazed; you are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen; He is not here. See, [here is] the place where they laid Him.^{(B) 7} But go, tell His disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you to Galilee; you will see Him there, just as He told you.’”^{(C) 8} They went out and fled from the tomb, for they were seized with trembling and astonishment; and they said nothing [about it] to anyone, because they were afraid.
