Luke 24:1–12

The Resurrection

Matt. 28:1–8; Mark 16:1–8; John 20:1–10

24Now ^aon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they, ¹and certain other women with them, came to the tomb ^bbringing the spices which they had prepared. ^2cBut they found the stone rolled away from the tomb. ^3dThen they went in and did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. ⁴And it happened, as they were ²greatly perplexed about this, that ^ebehold, two men stood by them in shining garments. ⁵Then, as they were afraid and bowed their faces to the earth, they said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? ⁶He is not here, but is risen! ^fRemember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee, ⁷saying, ‘The Son of Man must be ^gdelivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.’ ”

⁸And ^hthey remembered His words. ⁹ⁱThen they returned from the tomb and told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. ¹⁰It was Mary Magdalene, ^jJoanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them, who told these things to the apostles. ^11kAnd their words seemed to them like ³idle tales, and they did not believe them. ^12lBut Peter arose and ran to the tomb; and stooping down, he saw the linen cloths ⁴lying by themselves; and he departed, marveling to himself at what had happened.
