Luke 24:1-16 ▼

1 But at early dawn on the first day of the week, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared.

2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,

3 but when they went in, they didn't find the body of the Lord Jesus.

4 While they were puzzling over this, two men in dazzling robes suddenly stood beside them.

5 While the women remained terrified, bowing their faces to the ground, the men asked them, |Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is living?

6 He is not here, but has been raised. Remember what he told you while he was still in Galilee:

7 The Son of Man must be handed over to sinful men, be crucified, and rise on the third day.'|

8 Then the women remembered Jesus' words.

9 They returned from the tomb and reported all these things to the eleven disciples and all the others.

10 The women who told the apostles about it were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and some others.

11 But what they said seemed nonsense to them, so they did not believe them.

12 Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. He stooped down and saw only the linen cloths. Then he went home, wondering about what had happened.

13 On the same day, two of Jesus' followers were walking to a village called Emmaus, about 60 stadia from Jerusalem.

14 They were talking with each other about all these things that had taken place.

15 While they were discussing and analyzing what had happened, Jesus himself approached and began to walk with them,

16 but their eyes were prevented from recognizing him.
