⁴⁷ And Mary the Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses were observing where He had been laid.

Jesus Rises From The Dead. The Women Find The Tomb Empty

16 And the Sabbath having passed^[a], Mary the Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices in order that having come, they might anoint Him. ² And very early-in-the-morning on the first day of the week, they come to the tomb— the sun having risen. ³ And they were saying to themselves, “Who will roll-away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?” ⁴ And having looked-up, they see that the stone has been rolled-away. For it was extremely large. ⁵ And having entered into the tomb, they saw a young-man sitting at the right, having been clothed-with a white robe. And they were alarmed. ⁶ But the one says to them, “Do not be alarmed. You are seeking Jesus from-Nazareth, the One having been crucified. He arose, He is not here. Look— the place where they laid Him! ⁷ But go, tell His disciples and Peter that ‘He is going-ahead-of you to Galilee. You will see Him there, just as He told you’”.

Blessed Be God For Comforting Us In All Our Sufferings

³ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassions^[a] and God of all comfort^[b], ⁴ the One comforting us concerning^[c] all our affliction so that we might be able to comfort the ones in every affliction with the comfort by which we ourselves are being comforted by God. ⁵ Because just as the sufferings of Christ are abounding in us, so our comfort also is abounding through Christ. ⁶ And if we are being afflicted— it is for the sake of your comfort and salvation. If we are being comforted— it is for the sake of your comfort, the comfort being at-work^[d] in your endurance of the same sufferings which we also are suffering. ⁷ And our hope for you is firm^[e], knowing that as you are sharers of the sufferings, so also of the comfort.
