Mark 16:1-7

Responsive Reading:

(Luke 24:1-6a NIV)  On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb.  (2)  They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,  (3)  but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.  (4)  While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them.  (5)  In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, "Why do you look for the living among the dead?  (6)  He is not here; he has risen!
