NOW on the first day of the week, at the earliest dawn of day, they came to the sepulchre, bringing the aromatics which they had prepared, and certain others with them. (2)And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. (3)And on entering, found not the body of the Lord Jesus. (4)And it came to pass, as they were in the greatest perplexity concerning this matter, then behold, two men stood by them in refulgent garments: (5)and when they were exceedingly terrified, and inclined their face to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? (6)he is not here; he is risen: remember how he spoke to you, while he was yet in Galilee, (7)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. (8)And they remembered his declarations, (9)and returning from the sepulchre, told all these things to the eleven, and to the rest. (10)Now there were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and the other women who were with them, that told these things to the apostles. (11)And their declarations seemed in their view as a mere fancy, and they gave them no credence. (12)Then Peter rising up, ran off to the sepulchre, and leaning forward saw the linen clothes laid separately, and went away wondering in himself what was become of him.

(18)Then one of them, named Cleopas, answering said, Art thou the only sojourner at Jerusalem, who hath not known the singular events of those days? (19)And he said to them, Of what sort? and they said to him, Those which relate to Jesus the Nazarean, who was a man, a prophet, mighty in word and deed before God and all the people: (20)and how our chief priests and rulers delivered him up to a sentence of death, and crucified him. (21)But we had entertained hopes that this was the person who should have redeemed Israel: and ah! besides all these things, to-day concludes that third day since these things were done. (22)And indeed, certain women belonging to us exceedingly amazed us who were very early at the sepulchre; (23)and not finding his body, came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, who told them that he was alive. (24)And some of those who were with us went to the sepulchre, and found every thing just as the women had said: but him they did not see. (25)And he said unto them, O ye void of understanding, and slow of heart to
