Luke 24:1-7

Jesus Rises From the Dead

1 It was very early in the morning on the first day of the week. The women took the spices they had prepared. Then they went to the tomb.

2 They found the stone rolled away from it.

3 When they entered the tomb, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

4 They were wondering about this. Suddenly two men in clothes as bright as lightning stood beside them.

5 The women were terrified. They bowed down with their faces to the ground. Then the men said to them, "Why do you look for the living among the dead?

6 Jesus is not here! He has risen! Remember how he told you he would rise. It was while he was still with you in Galilee.

7 He said, 'The Son of Man must be handed over to sinful people. He must be nailed to a cross. On the third day he will rise from the dead.' "
