Jesus Is Raised
1 Now on the first [day] of the week, at very early dawn, they came back to the tomb bringing the fragrant spices which they had prepared.
2
And they found the stone had been rolled away from the tomb,
3
but [when they] went in, they did not find the body.
4
And it happened that while they were perplexed about this, behold, two men in gleaming clothing stood near them.
5
And [as] they were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, they said to them, "Why are you looking for the living among the dead?
6
He is not here, but has been raised! Remember how he spoke to you [while he] was still in Galilee,
7
saying that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of men [who are] sinners, and be crucified, and on the third day rise?"
8
And they remembered his words,
9
and [when they] returned from the tomb, they reported all these [things] to the eleven and to all the rest.
10
Now Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the [mother] of James and the others with them were telling these [things] to the apostles.
11
And these words appeared to them as nonsense, and they refused to believe them.
12
But Peter got up [and] ran to the tomb, and bending over to look, he saw only the [strips of] linen cloth, and he went away to his home wondering what had happened.
