Mark 16:4-10 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

4. Then the women looked and saw that the stone was already moved. The stone was very large, but it was moved away from the entrance.

5. The women entered the tomb and saw a young man wearing a white robe. He was sitting on the right side, and the women were afraid.

6. But the man said, “Don’t be afraid. You are looking for Jesus from Nazareth, the one who was killed on a cross. He has risen from death. He is not here. Look, here is the place they laid him.

7. Now go and tell his followers and Peter, ‘Jesus is going into Galilee. He will be there before you. You will see him there as he told you before.’”

8. The women were confused and shaking with fear. They left the tomb and ran away. They did not tell anyone about what happened, because they were afraid.

9. Jesus rose from death early on the first day of the week. He showed himself first to Mary Magdalene. One time in the past, he had forced seven demons to leave Mary.

10. After Mary saw Jesus, she went and told his followers. They were very sad and were crying.
