Chapter 16: After the crucifixion and burial

Gospel of Mark 16: 1 - 8 (CEB translation)

Common English Bible, 2011

When the Sabbath was over, Mary

Magdalene, Mary the mother of

James, and Salome bought spices

so that they could go and anoint

Jesus' dead body.  Very early on

the first day of the week, just after

sunrise, they came to the tomb.

They were saying to each other, 

"Who's going to roll the stone away

from the entrance for us?"

When they looked up, they saw that

the stone had been rolled away.

(And it was a very large stone!)

Going into the tomb, they saw

a young man in a white robe

seated on the right side; and 

they were startled.  But he said

to them, "Don't be alarmed!  You

are looking for Jesus of Nazareth,

who was crucified.  He has been

raised.  He isn't here.  Look,

here's the place where they laid him.

Go, tell his disciples, especially

Peter, that he is going ahead of you

into Galilee.  You will see him there,

just as he told you."  Overcome with

terror and dread, they fled from

the tomb.  They said nothing to

anyone, because they were afraid.
