1On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women came to the tomb, bringing the spices they had prepared.
2They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,
3but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
4While they were puzzling over this, suddenly two men in radiant apparel stood beside them.
5As the women bowed their faces to the ground in terror, the two men asked them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead?
6He is not here; He has risen! Remember how He told you while He was still in Galilee:
7‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’”
8Then they remembered His words.
9And when they returned from the tomb, they reported all these things to the Eleven and to all the others.
10It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told this to the apostles.
11But their words seemed like nonsense to them, and they did not believe the women.
— Luke 24:1-11
