Luke 24:1-12

The Resurrection

1 ¹But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared.

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

3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of ²the Lord Jesus.

4 While they were perplexed about this, behold, ³two men suddenly ⁴stood near them in dazzling clothing;

5 and as the women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, "Why do you seek the living One among the dead?

6 "He is not here, but He ⁵has risen. Remember how He spoke to you ⁶while He was still in Galilee,

7 saying that ⁷the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again."

8 And ⁸they remembered His words,

9 and returned from the tomb and reported all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.

10 Now they were ⁹Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James; also the other women with them were telling these things to ¹⁰the apostles.

11 But these words appeared to them as nonsense, and they ¹¹would not believe them.

12 But Peter got up and ¹²ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw the linen wrappings only; and he went away ¹³to his home, marveling at what had happened.
