Jesus appears to Mary Magdalene
Mark 16:9-11 summarizes the meeting; the ending of Mark is not in the oldest manuscripts.
See them side by side
Mark 16:9-11
9Longer ending: Now having risen early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons. 10She went and reported it to those who had been with him, as they were mourning and weeping. 11And they, when they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, did not believe.
11But Mary was standing outside at the tomb, weeping. So as she wept, she stooped to look into the tomb; 12and she sees two angels in white, sitting, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been lying. 13And they say to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She says to them, “They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have put him.” 14Having said this, she turned around, and she sees Jesus standing there, and she did not know that it was Jesus. 15Jesus says to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?” She, thinking that he was the gardener, says to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will take him away.” 16Jesus says to her, “Mary!” Turning, she says to him in Hebrew, “Rabbouni!” (which means Teacher). 17Jesus says to her, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet gone up to the Father; but go to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am going up to my Father and your Father, and my God and your God.’” 18Mary Magdalene comes and announces to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her.

To study Mark 16 in a group
1. What it says
What did the women see on arriving at the tomb, and what did the young man in white tell them (vv. 4–7)?
2. What it means
How did the women react as they left the tomb, and why (v. 8)?
3. How I live it
The young man said, “He is going ahead of you to Galilee” (v. 7). What step of trust can you take today even without seeing everything?
