6. Jesus isn't here! He has been raised from death. Remember that while he was still in Galilee, he told you,
7. ‘The Son of Man will be handed over to sinners who will nail him to a cross. But three days later he will rise to life.’ ”
8. Then they remembered what Jesus had said.
9-10. Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and some other women were the ones who had gone to the tomb. When they returned, they told the eleven apostles and the others what had happened.
11. The apostles thought it was all nonsense, and they would not believe.
12. But Peter ran to the tomb. And when he stooped down and looked in, he saw only the burial clothes. Then he returned, wondering what had happened.
13. That same day two of Jesus' disciples were going to the village of Emmaus, which was about eleven kilometres from Jerusalem.
