Bible Chapter Summary
Mark 16 Summary
The Empty Tomb
Three women come to the tomb at sunrise. A young man in white tells them he has risen; go tell his disciples. They flee in trembling and bewilderment. The longer ending records resurrection appearances to Mary Magdalene, two disciples, then the Eleven. Jesus commissions them and ascends to the right hand of God.
