Resurrection Morning

16 When^(A) the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene,^(B) Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so they could go and anoint Him. ² Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week,^(C) they went to the tomb^(D) at sunrise. ³ They were saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone from the entrance to the tomb for us?” ⁴ Looking up, they observed that the stone—which was very large—had been rolled away. ⁵ When^(E) they entered the tomb,^(F) they saw a young man^[a](G) dressed^(H) in a long white^(I) robe sitting on the right side; they were amazed and alarmed.

⁶ “Don’t be alarmed,” he told them. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene,^(J) who was crucified. He has been resurrected!^(K) He is not here! See the place where they put Him. ⁷ But go, tell His disciples and Peter,^(L) ‘He is going ahead of you to Galilee;^(M) you will see Him there just as He told you.’”

⁸ So they went out and started running from the tomb,^(N) because trembling and astonishment overwhelmed them. And they said nothing to anyone,^(O) since they were afraid.
