Luke
24: 1-12
The Resurrection
1On the first day of the week, very
early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. 2They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord
Jesus. 4While they were wondering about this, suddenly two
men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. 5In
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? 6He
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.' " 8Then they remembered his words.
9When they came back from the tomb,
they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others. 10It
was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them who told
this to the apostles. 11But they did not believe the women,
because their words seemed to them like nonsense. 12Peter,
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.
