1. Very early Sunday morning, the women came to the tomb where Jesus’ body was laid. They brought the sweet-smelling spices they had prepared.
2. They saw that the heavy stone that covered the entrance had been rolled away.
3. They went in, but they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
4. They did not understand this. While they were wondering about it, two men in shining clothes stood beside them.
5. The women were very afraid. They bowed down with their faces to the ground. The men said to them, “Why are you looking for a living person here? This is a place for dead people.
6. Jesus is not here. He has risen from death. Do you remember what he said in Galilee?
7. He said the Son of Man must be handed over to the control of sinful men, be killed on a cross, and rise from death on the third day.”
