Luke 24:1-12

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

2 But they found the stone rolled back from the tomb,

3 and on entering they found that the body of the Lord Jesus was not there.

4 At this they were in great perplexity, when suddenly there stood by them two men whose raiment flashed like lightning.

5 The women were terrified; but, as they stood with their faces bowed to the ground, the men said to them, "Why do you search among the dead for Him who is living?

6 He is not here. He has come back to life. Remember how He spoke to you while He was still in Galilee,

7 when He told you that the Son of Man must be betrayed into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again."

8 Then they remembered His words,

9 and returning from the tomb they reported all this to the Eleven and to all the rest.

10 The women were Mary of Magdala, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James; and they and the rest of the women related all this to the Apostles.

11 But the whole story seemed to them an idle tale; they could not believe the women.

12 Peter, however, rose and ran to the tomb. Stooping and looking in, he saw nothing but the linen cloths: so he went away to his own home, wondering at what had happened.
