1. When the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, so that they might go and anoint Him.
2. Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb at the rising of the sun.
3. They said among themselves, “Who will roll the stone away from the door of the tomb for us?”
4. But when they looked, they saw that the stone had been rolled away. For it was very large.
5. And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white robe. And they were frightened.
6. He said to them, “Do not be frightened. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen. He is not here. See the place where they laid Him.
7. But go your way, tell His disciples and Peter that He is going before you to Galilee. There you will see Him, as He told you.”
8. They went out quickly and fled from the tomb, for they trembled and were amazed. And they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.
9. Now when Jesus rose early on the first day of the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had cast seven demons.
10. She went and told those who had been with Him as they mourned and wept.
11. When they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe it.
