from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.
023:050 Behold, a man named Joseph, who was a member of the council,
a good and righteous man
023:051 (he had not consented to their counsel and deed), from Arimathaea,
a city of the Jews, who was also waiting for the Kingdom of God:
023:052 this man went to Pilate, and asked for Jesus' body.
023:053 He took it down, and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid him
in a tomb that was cut in stone, where no one had ever been laid.
023:054 It was the day of the Preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near.
023:055 The women, who had come with him out of Galilee, followed after,
and saw the tomb, and how his body was laid.
023:056 They returned, and prepared spices and ointments.
On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
024:001 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.
024:002 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb.
024:003 They entered in, and didn't find the Lord Jesus' body.
024:004 It happened, while they were greatly perplexed about this,
behold, two men stood by them in dazzling clothing.
024:005 Becoming terrified, they bowed their faces down to the earth.
They said to them, "Why do you seek the living among the dead?
024:006 He isn't here, but is risen. Remember what he told you
when he was still in Galilee,
024:007 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?"
024:008 They remembered his words,
024:009 returned from the tomb, and told all these things to the eleven,
and to all the rest.
024:010 Now they were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James.
The other women with them told these things to the apostles.
024:011 These words seemed to them to be nonsense, and they
didn't believe them.
024:012 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.
024:013 Behold, two of them were going that very day to a village
named Emmaus, which was sixty stadia{60 stadia = about 11
kilometers or about 7 miles.} from Jerusalem.
024:014 They talked with each other about all of these things
which had happened.
024:015 It happened, while they talked and questioned together,
that Jesus himself came near, and went with them.
024:016 But their eyes were kept from recognizing him.
024:017 He said to them, "What are you talking about as you walk,
and are sad?"
024:018 One of them, named Cleopas, answered him, "Are you the only
