Of Easter


OF THE SECOND APPARITION

But he rising early the first day of the week, appeared first to Mary Magdalen,

out of whom he had cast seven devils.

Mark, Chapter 16 [9].


First Point.

First: Mary Magdalen, Mary, the mother of James, and Salome come very early to the Sepulchre saying: “‘Who shall lift for us the stone from the door of the Sepulchre?’”


Second Point.

Second: They see the stone lifted, and the Angel, who says: “‘You seek Jesus of Nazareth. He is already risen, He is not here.’”


Third Point.

Third: He appeared to Mary, who remained about the Sepulchre after the others had gone.
