When the women went into the hole in the rock, they saw a young man there.[a] He was sitting in there on the right side and he wore bright white clothes. The women were very afraid.

The young man said to them, ‘Do not be afraid. You are looking for Jesus from Nazareth. The soldiers killed him on a cross, but he has become alive again. He is not here. Look!

You will see him there, just as he told you it would happen.” ’

Footnotes

  1. 16:5 This young man was an angel.
  2. 16:7 Peter had said three times that he did not know Jesus. So maybe Peter thought that he was not still a disciple. But the angel's words included Peter. So Peter would know that Jesus still wanted him to be his disciple.
