The resurrection:

In the morning of the first day of the week, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb

They found the stone rolled away but when they entered they didn't find the body of Jesus

As they were wondering about this, two men appeared in clothes that gleamed like lighting

The women were frightened so they bowed down with their faces to the ground

The men said to them:

'Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee: "the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be crucified and on the third day be raised again."'

They remembered his words

When they came back from the tomb they told what had happened to the eleven disciples

It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James and others who told this to the apostles

They didn't believe the women as it seemed like nonsense

Peter however, got up and ran to the tomb

Bending over, saw the strips of linen lying by themselves and went away wondering what had happened
