— Bible (KJV) · Read Mark in context
The scene behind the verse

Original language
ēgerthē (ἠγέρθη) — he has been raised up, passive voice showing God's action
Historical context
The tomb was a new one carved from rock, belonging to Joseph of Arimathea
What most readers miss
The angel says 'Don't be amazed' — as if resurrection should be expected, not shocking
Common misconception
People focus on the empty tomb, but the angel's main point is 'He has risen' — past tense, already accomplished. The empty tomb is just evidence.
How this verse has been applied
Write down one thing you thought was permanently dead in your life. Say out loud: 'God can resurrect this too.'
