¶But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they and some others came to the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared.

They found the stone rolled away from the tomb.

They entered in, and didn’t find the Lord Jesus’ body.

It happened, while they were greatly perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling clothing.

Becoming terrified, they bowed their faces down to the earth.
¶They said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead?

He isn’t here, but is risen. Remember what he told you when he was still in Galilee,

saying that the Son of Man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again?”

¶They remembered his words,

returned from the tomb, and told all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest.

Now they were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James. The other women with them told these things to the apostles.

These words seemed to them to be nonsense, and they didn’t believe them.

But Peter got up and ran to the tomb. Stooping and looking in, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he departed to his home, wondering what had happened.

¶Behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was sixty stadia from Jerusalem.^[a]

They talked with each other about all of these things which had happened.

It happened, while they talked and questioned together, that Jesus himself came near, and went with them.

But their eyes were kept from recognizing him.

He said to them, “What are you talking about as you walk, and are sad?”

¶One of them, named Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who doesn’t know the things which have happened there in these days?”

¶He said to them, “What things?”
¶They said to him, “The things concerning Jesus, the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people;

and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him.

But we were hoping that it was he who would redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened.

Also, certain women of our company amazed astounded us, having when they arrived early at the tomb;,

and when they didn’t find his body, and they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.

Some of us went to the tomb, and found it just like the women had said, but they didn’t see him.”
