1 On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. |
2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, |
3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. |
4 While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. |
5 In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, "Why do you look for the living among the dead? |
6 He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: |
7 'The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.' " |
8 Then they remembered his words. |
9 When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others. |
10 It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles. |
11 But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense. |
12 Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. Bending over, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he went away, wondering to himself what had happened. |
