Luke 24:1-10

1But 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].

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

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

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

5and 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?

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

7saying 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].”

8And they remembered His words,

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

10Now 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.
