The Gospel: Easter Sunday

The actual Latin source is Codex Sangallensis 56,
but this is believed to be an ultra-faithful copy of Victor's Codex Fuldensis Gospel.

The Gospel as in the Codex Fuldensis Gospel: Easter Sunday

and The Sunday Missal to cross-check.
The Gospel: Mark 16: 1 - 7
(12th-Apr-2009) Easter Sunday, year B.

Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified, has risen.
The account found here is embodied in the beginning of the capitulum following. Like the reading for Good Friday, it is a rich interweaving of all four Gospels.

CLXXIII. Ubi prima diƦ sabbati suscitatur Ihesus a mortuis.
(Where on the first day of the week Jesus is raised from the dead.)

216: 1
And in the end of the Sabbath,
when it began to dawn on the first day of the week,
when it was yet dark,
2
Came Mary Magdalen
and the other Mary and Salome
to the sepulchre,
bringing the spices which they had prepared.
3
And the sun being now risen,
they said one to another:
Who shall roll us back the stone from the door of the sepulchre?
For it was very great.

217: 1
And behold there was a great earthquake.
For an angel of the Lord descended from heaven
and coming rolled back the stone.
2
And looking,
they saw the stone rolled back from the sepulchre
and an angel seated on it.
3
And his countenance was as lightning
and his raiment as snow.
4
And for fear of him,
the guards were struck with terror
and became as dead men.
5
And the angel answering,
said to the women:
Fear not you:
for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified.
6
He is not here.
For he is risen,
as he said.
Come,
and see the place where the Lord was laid.

218: 1
And it came to pass,
as they were astonished in their mind at this.
2
Behold,
two men stood by them,
in shining apparel.
3
And as they were afraid
and bowed down their countenance towards the ground,
they said unto them:
Why seek you the living with the dead?
He is not here, but is risen.
4
Remember how he spoke unto you,
when he was yet in Galilee,
saying that the Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men
and be crucified
and the third day rise again.
5
And going quickly,
tell ye his disciples that he is risen from the dead.
And behold he will go before you into Galilee.
There you shall see him.
Lo,
I have foretold it to you.
