Luke 23:56-24:12

Goodspeed(i) 56 Then they went home, and prepared spices and perfumes. On the Sabbath they rested in obedience to the commandment, 24 1 but on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking spices they had prepared. 2 But they found the stone rolled back from the tomb, 3 and when they went inside they could not find the body. 4 They were in great perplexity over this, when suddenly two men in dazzling clothing stood beside them. 5 The women were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, "Why do you look among the dead for him who is alive? 6 Remember what he told you while he was still in Galilee, 7 when he said that the Son of Man must be handed over to wicked men and be crucified and rise again on the third day." 8 Then they remembered his words, 9 and they went back from the tomb and told all this to the eleven and all the rest. 10 They were Mary of Magdala and Joanna and Mary, James's mother; and the other women also told this to the apostles. 11 But the story seemed to them to be nonsense and they would not believe them. 12 OMITTED TEXT
