Jesus Is Raised

24 Now on the first day of the week, at very early dawn, they came back to the tomb bringing the fragrant spices which they had prepared. ² And they found the stone had been rolled away from the tomb, ³ but when they^[a] went in, they did not find the body.^{[b] 4} And it happened that while they were perplexed about this, behold, two men in gleaming clothing stood near them. ⁵ And as^[c] they were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, they said to them, “Why are you looking for the living among the dead? ⁶ He is not here, but has been raised! Remember how he spoke to you while he^[d] was still in Galilee, ⁷ saying that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of men who are sinners, and be crucified, and on the third day rise?” ⁸ And they remembered his words, ⁹ and when they^[e] returned from the tomb, they reported all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. ¹⁰ Now Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James and the others with them were telling these things to the apostles. ¹¹ And these words appeared to them as nonsense, and they refused to believe them. ¹² But Peter got up and^[f] ran to the tomb, and bending over to look, he saw only the strips of linen cloth, and he went away to his home^[g] wondering what had happened.
