Now on the first day of the week, at ear\u00adly dawn, the women went to the tomb, tak\u00ading the aro\u00admat\u00adic spices they had pre\u00adpared. They found that the stone had been rolled away from the tomb, but when they went in, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were per\u00adplexed about this, sud\u00adden\u00adly two men stood beside them in daz\u00adzling attire. The women were ter\u00adri\u00adbly fright\u00adened and bowed their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, \u201cWhy do you look for the liv\u00ading among the dead? He is not here, but has been raised! Remem\u00adber how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be deliv\u00adered into the hands of sin\u00adful men, and be cru\u00adci\u00adfied, and on the third day rise again.\u201d Luke 24:1\u20137, NET<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
