Mark 16:3 - Forerunner Commentary

Mark 16:3

He Is Risen

1 Now ^awhen the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome ^bbought spices, that they might come and anoint Him.

2 ^aVery early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.

3 And they said among themselves, “Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?”

4 But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away—for it was very large.

5 ^aAnd entering the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a long white robe sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed.

6 ^aBut he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him.

7 But go, tell His disciples—and Peter—that He is going¹ before you into Galilee; there you will see Him, ^aas He said to you.”
