Luke 24:1-7

1 At the crack of dawn on Sunday, the women came to the tomb carrying the burial spices they had prepared.
2 They found the entrance stone rolled back from the tomb,
3 so they walked in. But once inside, they couldn't find the body of the Master Jesus.
4 They were puzzled, wondering what to make of this. Then, out of nowhere it seemed, two men, light cascading over them, stood there.
5 The women were awestruck and bowed down in worship. The men said, "Why are you looking for the Living One in a cemetery?
6 He is not here, but raised up. Remember how he told you when you were still back in Galilee
7 that he had to be handed over to sinners, be killed on a cross, and in three days rise up?"
