Mark 16:6
He said to them, “Don’t be amazed. You seek Jesus, the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him!
Mark 16:6 is a verse from the Gospel of Mark. It describes the scene when the women who had come to the tomb of Jesus discovered that he had risen from the dead.
To understand the context of this verse, we can look at the preceding verses in Mark 16. In verses 1-5, the women, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had come to the tomb to anoint the body of Jesus with spices. When they arrived, they found that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance to the tomb, and they saw a young man dressed in white inside the tomb.
This young man is the one who speaks to the women in verse 6, telling them not to be amazed and explaining that Jesus has risen from the dead. The young man also instructs the women to tell the disciples and Peter that Jesus will meet them in Galilee.
Other gospel accounts of this event can provide additional context and cross-references. For example, in Matthew 28:5-7, an angel appears to the women at the tomb and tells them not to be afraid, and then gives them a similar message about Jesus' resurrection and his plans to meet with the disciples in Galilee.
In Luke 24:1-8, a group of women, including Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Joanna, go to the tomb and find it empty. Two men in dazzling clothes appear to them and ask why they are looking for the living among the dead, before explaining that Jesus has risen from the dead.
Mark 16:6 describes the pivotal moment when the women discover that Jesus has risen from the dead, and it provides a message of hope and triumph over death that is central to our belief.
