Mark 16:8

Mark 16:1-8

¹And when the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him. ²And very early on the first day of the week, they come to the tomb when the sun had risen. ³And they were saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?” ⁴And looking up, they see that the stone had been rolled away; for it was very large. ⁵And entering into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe, and they were greatly alarmed. ⁶But he says to them, “Do not be alarmed. You are seeking Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has been raised; he is not here. See the place where they laid him. ⁷But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him, just as he told you.” ⁸And they went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had seized them; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid. Shorter ending: And all that they had been commanded they reported briefly to those around Peter. And after these things Jesus himself also sent out through them, from east to west, the sacred and imperishable proclamation of eternal salvation. Amen.

Matthew 28:1-10

¹Now after the Sabbath, as it was dawning toward the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the grave. ²And look, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and came and rolled away the stone and was sitting on it. ³And his appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. ⁴And for fear of him the guards shook and became like dead men. ⁵But the angel answered the women, “Do not be afraid, you, for I know that you are seeking Jesus, who has been crucified. ⁶He is not here, for he has been raised, just as he said. Come, see the place where he was lying. ⁷And go quickly and tell his disciples that ‘He has been raised from the dead, and look, he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him.’ Look, I have told you.” ⁸And going away quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, they ran to tell his disciples. ⁹And look, Jesus met them, saying, “Greetings.” And they came up and took hold of his feet and bowed down before him. ¹⁰Then Jesus says to them, “Do not be afraid; go, tell my brothers to go away to Galilee, and there they will see me.”

Luke 24:1-12

¹But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb, bringing the spices that they had prepared. ²And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, ³but when they went in, they did not find the body. ⁴And it happened, while they were perplexed about this, that look, two men stood by them in flashing clothing. ⁵And as they became terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, they said to them, “Why do you seek the living one among the dead? ⁶He is not here, but he has been raised. Remember how he spoke to you while he was still in Galilee, ⁷saying that the Son of Man must be handed over into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise.” ⁸And they remembered his words. ⁹And returning from the tomb, they reported all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. ¹⁰Now it was Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who were telling these things to the apostles. ¹¹And these words seemed to them like nonsense, and they would not believe them. ¹²But Peter got up and ran to the tomb; and stooping to look in, he sees the linen cloths alone; and he went away to his home, marveling at what had happened.

John 20:1-10

¹Now on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene comes early to the tomb, while it was still dark, and she sees the stone taken away from the tomb. ²So she runs and comes to Simon Peter and to the other disciple, whom Jesus held dear, and says to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have put him.” ³So Peter and the other disciple went out, and they were going to the tomb. ⁴And the two were running together, and the other disciple ran ahead, faster than Peter, and came first to the tomb. ⁵And stooping to look in, he sees the linen cloths lying there; yet he did not go in. ⁶So Simon Peter also comes, following him, and he went into the tomb; and he sees the linen cloths lying there, ⁷and the face cloth that had been on his head, not lying with the linen cloths but rolled up separately in one place. ⁸So then the other disciple, who had come first to the tomb, also went in, and he saw and believed; ⁹for they did not yet understand the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead. ¹⁰So the disciples went away again to their homes.
