16 After the Rest Day was over, Miryam (Grk. Maria/Mariam) from Magdala, Miryam the mother of Ya’akov (James; Grk. Yakobos), and Salome, all went and bought some traditional burial spices that evening to take to the burial chamber and place with the body. 2 Then very early on Sunday morning they went to the chamber, arriving just as the sun was rising. 3 Then they realised that they didn’t have anyone with them to roll the rock away that was covering the entrance. 4 However when they looked, they saw that the very large rock had already been rolled away, 5 so they went on into the burial chamber and were totally stunned to find a young man dressed in white, sitting in there at the side.

6 He assured them, “Don’t be surprised. I know you’re looking for Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) from Nazaret (Nazareth), the one who was executed on a post. But see there where his body was—he’s not there, because he came back to life. 7 So you three should go and tell his apprentices, and Kefa (Peter; Grk. Petros) in particular, that he’s going to go up ahead of you all to Galil and you’ll see him up there, just as he already told you all.”[ref]

8 So they left the chamber and took off running, still stunned and shaking, and too scared to stop and talk to anyone.
