Luke 24:1-10

1 Very early on Sunday morning the women went to the tomb, carrying the spices they had prepared.

2 They found the stone rolled away from the entrance to the tomb,

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

4 They stood there puzzled about this, when suddenly two men in bright shining clothes stood by them.

5 Full of fear, the women bowed down to the ground, as the men said to them, "Why are you looking among the dead for one who is alive?

6 He is not here; he has been raised. Remember what he said to you while he was in Galilee: ¹

7 "The Son of Man must be handed over to sinners, be crucified, and three days later rise to life.' "

8 Then the women remembered his words,

9 returned from the tomb, and told all these things to the eleven disciples and all the rest.

10 The women were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James; they and the other women with them told these things to the apostles.
