Luke 24:1-10 ▼

1 But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, the women went to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared [to finish anointing the body].

2 And they found the [large, circular] stone rolled back from the tomb,

3 but when they went inside, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

4 While they were perplexed and wondering about this, suddenly, two men in dazzling clothing stood near them;

5 and as the women were terrified and were bowing their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why are you looking for the living One among the dead?

6 He is not here, but has risen. Remember how He told you, while He was still in Galilee,

7 saying that the Son of Man must be handed over to sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise [from death to life].”

8 And they remembered His words,

9 and after returning from the tomb, they reported all these things to the eleven [apostles] and to all the rest.

10 Now they were Mary Magdalene and Joanna [the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward] and Mary the mother of James; also the other women with them were telling these things to the apostles.
