Luke 24:1–12

Jesus Is Raised

24Now on the first day of the week, at very early dawn, they came back to the tomb bringing the fragrant spices which they had prepared. ²And they found the stone had been rolled away from the tomb, ³but when they^* went in, they did not find the body.^{a 4}And it happened that while they were perplexed about this, behold, two men in gleaming clothing stood near them. ⁵And as^* they were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, they said to them, “Why are you looking for the living among the dead? ⁶He is not here, but has been raised! Remember how he spoke to you while he^* was still in Galilee, ⁷saying that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of men who are sinners, and be crucified, and on the third day rise?” ⁸And they remembered his words, ⁹and when they^* returned from the tomb, they reported all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. ¹⁰Now Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James and the others with them were telling these things to the apostles. ¹¹And these words appeared to them as nonsense, and they refused to believe them. ¹²But Peter got up and^* ran to the tomb, and bending over to look, he saw only the strips of linen cloth, and he went away to his home^b wondering what had happened.
