Oldest Bible

Codex Sinaiticus note]: This manuscript contains the short ending of the Gospel of Mark, ending at verse 16:8.

2And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.

3And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.

4And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?

5And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.

6And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.

7And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.

8But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.

9And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid.
