After the Sabbath,
Lit. Sabbaths
around dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to take a look at the tomb.Matt 27:56; Mark 16:1; Luke 24:1; John 20:1
2Suddenly there was a powerful earthquake. For an angel of the Lord had come down from heaven, stepped forward, rolled the stone away, and was sitting on it.Mark 16:5; Luke 24:4; John 20:12 3His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were as white as snow.Dan 10:6 4Because they were so afraid of him, the guards shook and became like dead men.

5But the angel said to the women, “Stop being afraid! For I know you're looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6He is not here. He has been raised, just as he said. Come and see the place where he

was lying.Matt 12:40; 16:21; 17:23; 20:19
7Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead. He is going ahead of you into Galilee, and you will see him there. Remember, I have told you!”Matt 26:32; Mark 16:7

8So they quickly left the tomb with fear
Or awe
and great joy and ran to tell his disciples.
9Suddenly Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” They went up to him, took hold of his feet, and worshiped him.Mark 16:9; John 20:14

10Then Jesus said to them, “Stop being afraid! Go and tell my brothers to leave for Galilee, and there they will see me.”John 20:17; Rom 8:29; Heb 2:11

Matt 28:1; Luke 23:56; 24:1; John 20:1
2Very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had just come up, they were going to the tomb.Luke 24:1; John 20:1 3They kept saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?” 4Then they looked up and saw that the stone had been rolled away. (For it was a very large stone.)

5As they went into the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were utterly astonished.Luke 24:3; John 20:11-12 6But he said to them, “Stop being astonished! You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has been raised. He is not here. Look at the place where they laid him.Matt 28:5-7 7But go and tell his disciples, especially Peter, that he is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.”Matt 26:32; Mark 14:28

8So they left the tomb and ran away, for shock and astonishment had overwhelmed them. They didn't say a thing to anyone, because they were afraid.
Some mss. end Mark here; others include verses 9-20. Some mss. conclude the book with the following shorter ending (others include the shorter ending and then continue with verses 9-20): They reported to those who were with Peter everything they had been commanded. After this, Jesus sent out through them, from east to west, the sacred and indestructible message of eternal salvation. Amen.
Matt 28:8; Luke 24:9

John 20:1-10

1Jesus Is Raised from the Dead Matthew 28:1-10; Mark 16:1-8; Luke 24:1-12On the first day of the week, early in the morning and while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and noticed that the stone had been removed from the tomb.Matt 28:1; Mark 16:1; Luke 24:1 2So she ran off and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, whom Jesus kept loving. She told them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they have put him!”John 13:23; 19:26 3So Peter and the other disciple set out to go to the tomb.Luke 24:12 4The two of them were running together, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter and came to the tomb first. 5Bending over to look inside, he noticed the linen cloths lying there but didn't go in.John 19:40 6At this point Simon Peter arrived, following him, and went straight into the tomb. He observed that the linen cloths were lying there, 7and that the handkerchief that had been on Jesus’ head was not lying with the linen cloths but was rolled up in a separate place.John 11:44 8Then the other disciple, who arrived at the tomb first, went inside, looked, and believed. 9For they did not yet understand the Scripture that said
The Gk. lacks that said
that he had to rise from the dead.Ps 16:10; Acts 2:25-31; 13:34-35
10So the disciples went back to their homes.
