On this Holy Saturday, the New York Times published an interview with Serene Jones, the president of Union Theological Seminary. In it, she says the following when asked whether she believes that Jesus was physically resurrected:
When you look in the Gospels, the stories are all over the place. There’s no resurrection story in Mark, just an empty tomb. Those who claim to know whether or not it happened are kidding themselves. But that empty tomb symbolizes that the ultimate love in our lives cannot be crucified and killed.

Serene Jones stated "There’s no resurrection story in Mark, just an empty tomb."
Whether one reads the short ending or long ending to Mark 16, the resurrection is mentioned. In the shorter version the young man, dressed in white, states Jesus who had been crucified had been resurrected. In the longer ending he appears to Mary Magdalene and the 11 apostles.
