¹ When the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of Jacob, and Salome, bought spices, that they might come and anoint him.

² Very early on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.

³ They were saying among themselves, "Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?"

⁴ for it was very big. Looking up, they saw that the stone was rolled back.

⁵ Entering into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe, and they were amazed.

⁶ He said to them, "Do not be amazed. You seek Jesus, the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen. He is not here. Behold, the place where they put him!

⁷ But go, tell his disciples and Peter, 'He goes before you into Galilee. There you will see him, as he said to you.'"

⁸ They went out, and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had come on them. They said nothing to anyone; for they were afraid.¹

⁹ Now when he had risen early on the first day of the week¹, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out 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 disbelieved.

¹² After these things he was revealed in another form to two of them, as they walked, on their way into the country.

¹³ They went away and told it to the rest. They did not believe them, either.

¹⁴ Afterward he was revealed to the Eleven themselves as they sat at the table, and he rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen him after he had risen.

¹⁵ He said to them, "Go into all the world, and proclaim the Good News to the whole creation.

¹⁶ He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who disbelieves will be condemned.

¹⁷ These signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new languages;

¹⁸ they will pick up serpents with their hands¹; and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not harm them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."
