Verses 1–10
1 And on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came to the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared.
2 And they found the stone rolled back from the sepulchre.
3 And going in, they found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
4 And it came to pass, as they were astonished in their mind at this, behold, two men stood by them, in shining apparel.
5 And as they were afraid and bowed down their countenance towards the ground, they said unto them: Why seek you the living with the dead?
6 He is not here, but is risen. Remember how he spoke unto you, when he was yet in Galilee,
7 Saying: The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and the third day rise again.
8 And they remembered his words.
9 And going back from the sepulchre, they told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.
10 And it was Mary Magdalen and Joanna and Mary of James and the other women that were with them, who told these things to the apostles.
