Luke 24:1-12

The Resurrection

1 ¹But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, ²taking the spices they had prepared.

2 And they found ³the stone rolled away from the tomb,

3 but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

4 While they were perplexed about this, behold, ⁴two ⁵men stood by them in dazzling apparel.

5 And as they were ⁶frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, "Why do you seek the living among the dead?

6 He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, ⁷while he was still in Galilee,

7 ⁸that the Son of Man ⁹must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and ¹⁰be crucified and on ¹¹the third day rise."

8 And ¹²they remembered his words,

9 and returning from the tomb they ¹³told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.

10 Now it was ¹⁴Mary Magdalene and ¹⁵Joanna and Mary the mother of James and the other women with them who told these things to the apostles,

11 but these words seemed to them an idle tale, and ¹⁶they did not believe them.

12 But ¹⁷Peter rose and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw ¹⁸the linen cloths by themselves; and he went home marveling at what had happened.
