Summary
Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome arrive at the tomb early on the first day of the week and find the great stone rolled away. Inside, a young man in a white garment tells them Jesus, crucified and dead, is risen and instructs them to inform the disciples and Peter that He will meet them in Galilee. The women flee, afraid and amazed, and tell no one. Jesus appears first to Mary Magdalene, then to two disciples, and later to the eleven, rebuking their unbelief and commanding them to evangelize. He promises that belief and baptism will save, while disbelief will condemn, and that signs such as speaking in tongues and healing will follow. Finally, He ascends to the right hand of God, and the disciples go forth preaching everywhere, confirming the word with signs.
