Ransom

Scripture Reading: Mark 1:1-11 (TLV)

1When Shabbat was over, Miriam of Magdala, Miriam the mother of Jacob, and Salome bought spices, so that they might come and anoint Yeshua’s body.

2Very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they come to the tomb.

3They were saying to each other, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?”

4Looking up, they see that the stone (it was really huge) had been rolled away.

5As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe; and they were startled.

6But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You are looking for Yeshua of Natzeret, who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here! See the place where they put Him.

7But go, tell His disciples and Peter, ‘He is going before you to the Galilee. There you will see Him, just as He told you.’”

8And going outside, they fled from the tomb, gripped by trembling and amazement. They didn’t say anything to anybody, for they were afraid.

He Is Risen

9After He had risen early on the first day of the week, He appeared first to Miriam of Magdala, from whom He had driven out seven demons.

10She went and brought word to those who had been with Him, while they were mourning and weeping.

11When they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they refused to believe.
