1
But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices which they had prepared.
2
And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb,
3
but when they went in they did not find the body.
4
While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel;
5
and as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, "Why do you seek the living among the dead?
6
Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee,
7
that the Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise."
8
And they remembered his words,
9
and returning from the tomb they told all this to the eleven and to all the rest.
10
Now it was Mary Mag'dalene and Jo-an'na and Mary the mother of James and the other women with them who told this to the apostles;
11
but these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them.
