1. Very early on the first day of the week, the women came to the tomb where Jesus’ body was laid. They brought the spices they had prepared.
2. They found that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance of the tomb.
3. They went in, but they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
4. While they were wondering about this, two men in shining clothes suddenly stood beside them.
5. The women were very afraid; they bowed their heads to the ground. The men said to the women, “Why are you looking for a living person here? This is a place for the dead.
6. Jesus is not here. He has risen from death! Do you remember what he said in Galilee?
7. He said that the Son of Man must be given to evil men, be killed on a cross, and rise from death on the third day.”
8. Then the women remembered what Jesus had said.
9. The women left the tomb and told all these things to the 11 apostles and the other followers.
