Luke 24:1–12

Jesus Has Risen

24:1–10pp—Mt 28:1–8; Mk 16:1–8; Jn 20:1–8

24On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared^u 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.^{v 4}While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning^w 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:^{x 7}‘The Son of Man^y must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ ”^{z 8}Then they remembered his words.^a

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^b who told this to the apostles.^{c 11}But they did not believe^d 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,^e and he went away,^f wondering to himself what had happened.
