"But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb, taking
the spices that they had prepared. They found the stone rolled
away from the tomb, but when they went in, they did not find the body. While they
were perplexed about this, suddenly two men in dazzling clothes stood beside
them. The women were terrified and
bowed their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why
do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen. Remember
how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be
handed over to sinners, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.” Then they remembered his words, and
returning from the tomb, they told all this to the eleven and to all the rest. Now it was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of
James, and the other women with them who told this to the apostles. But
these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them. But Peter got up and ran to the tomb; stooping and
looking in, he saw the linen cloths by themselves; then he went home, amazed at
what had happened."
-Luke 24:1-12
