Mark 16:6

The resurrection Fear Jesus Christ Comfort

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

⁵ When they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.

But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here! See the place where they put Him.

⁷ But go, tell His disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see Him, just as He told you.’”

⁸ So the women left the tomb and ran away, trembling and bewildered. And in their fear they did not say a word to anyone.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
