24It was very early in the morning on the first day of the week. The women took the spices they had prepared. Then they went to the tomb. ²They found the stone rolled away from it. ³When they entered the tomb, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. ⁴They were wondering about this.

Suddenly two men in clothes as bright as lightning stood beside them. ⁵The women were terrified. They bowed down with their faces to the ground.

Then the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? ⁶Jesus is not here! He has risen! Remember how he told you he would rise. It was while he was still with you in Galilee. ⁷He said, ‘The Son of Man must be handed over to sinful people. He must be nailed to a cross. On the third day he will rise from the dead.’ ”

⁸Then the women remembered Jesus’ words.

⁹They came back from the tomb. They told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others. ¹⁰Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them were the ones who told the apostles. ¹¹But the apostles did not believe the women. Their words didn’t make any sense to them.

¹²But Peter got up and ran to the tomb. He bent over and saw the strips of linen lying by themselves. Then he went away, wondering what had happened.
