| Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. |
| And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. |
| And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. |
| And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: |
| And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? |
| He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, |
| Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. |
| And they remembered his words, |
| And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest. |
| It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles. |

| And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days? |
| And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people: |
| And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him. |
| But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done. |
| Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre; |
| And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive. |
| And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not. |
