Luke 24:1-12

1 But on the morrow of the sabbath, very early indeed in the morning, they came to the tomb, bringing the aromatic spices which they had prepared.

2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.

3 And when they had entered they found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

4 And it came to pass as they were in perplexity about it, that behold, two men suddenly stood by them in shining raiment.

5 And as they were filled with fear and bowed their faces to the ground, they said to them, Why seek ye the living one among the dead?

6 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spoke to you, being yet in Galilee,

7 saying, The Son of man must be delivered up into the hands of sinners, and be crucified, and rise the third day.

8 And they remembered his words;

9 and, returning from the sepulchre, related all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.

10 Now it was Mary of Magdala, and Johanna, and Mary the [mother] of James, and the others with them, who told these things to the apostles.

11 And their words appeared in their eyes as an idle tale, and they disbelieved them.

12 But Peter, rising up, ran to the sepulchre, and stooping down he sees the linen clothes lying there alone, and went away home, wondering at what had happened.
