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

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.
