The empty tomb

And when the sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Salome bought spices, so they could come and anoint him. And very early in the morning on the first day of the week they came to the tomb, just as the sun was coming up. And they said among themselves, Who will roll the stone away from the door of the tomb for us? And when they looked, they saw that the stone had been rolled away — and it was very large. And going into the tomb they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a long white robe. And they were alarmed. And he said to them, Don't be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen. He isn't here. Look at the place where they laid him. But go and tell his disciples, and Peter, that he is going ahead of you into Galilee. You will see him there, just as he told you. And they went out quickly and ran from the tomb, trembling and astonished. And they said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.

And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Salome had bought sweet spices, so they could come and anoint him. And very early in the morning on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb at the rising of the sun. And they said among themselves: Who'll roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us? And when they looked, they saw the stone was rolled away, because it was very big. And going into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a long white garment. And they were shocked. And he says to them: Don't be shocked. You look for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He's risen. He isn't here. Look — the place where they laid him. But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goes in front of you into Galilee. There you'll see him, the way he said to you. And they went out quickly and ran from the tomb. Because they shook and were amazed. And they didn't say anything to any man, because they were frightened.

And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him. And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun. And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre? And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great. And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted. And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him. But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you. And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid.
