Mark 16:9

Mary
The resurrectionSpiritual warfare

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.

Early on the first day of the week, after Jesus had risen, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom He had driven out seven demons.

10 She went and told those who had been with Him, who were mourning and weeping.

11 And when they heard that Jesus was alive and she had seen Him, they did not believe it.
