1 The day after the Sabbath day, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought some sweet-smelling spices to put on Jesus’ body.
2 Very early on that day, the first day of the week, the women were on their way to the tomb. It was soon after sunrise.
3 They said to each other, “There is a large stone covering the entrance of the tomb. Who will move the stone for us?”
4 Then the women looked and saw that the stone was already moved. The stone was very large, but it was moved away from the entrance.
5 The women entered the tomb and saw a young man wearing a white robe. He was sitting on the right side, and the women were afraid.
