Luke 24:1–12

The Resurrection of Jesus

²⁴But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices that they had prepared.^{* 2}They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, ³but when they went in they did not find the body.^{f 4}While they were perplexed about this, suddenly two men in dazzling clothes stood beside them.^{* 5}The women^g were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, but the men^h said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here but has risen.^{i 6}Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee,^{* 7}that the Son of Man must be handed over to the hands of sinners and be crucified and on the third day rise again.” ⁸Then they remembered his words,^{* 9}and returning from the tomb they told all this to the eleven and to all the rest.^{* 10}Now it was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told this to the apostles.^{* 11}But these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them.^{* 12}But Peter got up and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths by themselves; then he went home, amazed at what had happened.^j
