Jesus Rises from the Dead^(A)

24 Very early on the first day of the week, at dawn, the women came to the tomb, bringing the spices they had prepared. ² They found the stone rolled away from the entrance of the tomb, ³ but when they went in, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. ⁴ While they were ·wondering [puzzling; perplexed] about this, two men in ·shining [dazzling; gleaming like lightning; 9:29] clothes suddenly stood beside them. ⁵ The women were ·very afraid [terrified] and bowed their ·heads [faces] to the ground. The men said to them, “Why are you looking for ·a living person in this place for the dead [^Lthe living among the dead]? ⁶ He is not here; he has risen from the dead. Do you remember what he told you [^Lwhile he was still] in Galilee? ⁷ He said the Son of Man must be ·handed over [betrayed] to sinful people, be crucified, and rise from the dead on the third day.” ⁸ Then the women remembered what Jesus had said.

⁹ The women ·left [returned from] the tomb and told all these things to ·the eleven apostles [^Lthe Eleven] and ·the other followers [^Lall the rest]. ¹⁰ It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and some other women who told the apostles ·everything that had happened at the tomb [^Lthese things]. ¹¹ But they did not believe the women, because it ·sounded [seemed] like nonsense. ¹² But Peter got up and ran to the tomb. Bending down and looking in, he saw only the [linen] cloth that Jesus’ body had been wrapped in. Peter went away to his home, ·wondering [amazed; marveling] about what had happened.
