Mark 16:2

The resurrection

1 When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so they could go and anoint the body of Jesus.

Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they went to the tomb.

3 They were asking one another, “Who will roll away the stone from the entrance of the tomb?”

4 But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away, even though it was extremely large.
