⁵⁴ It was a ^[a](A)preparation day, and a Sabbath was about to ^[b]begin. ⁵⁵ Now ^(B)the women who had come with Him from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how His body was laid. ⁵⁶ And then they returned and ^(C)prepared spices and perfumes.

And ^(D)on the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.

The Resurrection

24 ^(E)But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared. ² And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, ³ but when they entered, they did not find the body of ^(F)the Lord Jesus. ⁴ While they were perplexed about this, behold, ^(G)two men suddenly ^(H)stood near them in gleaming clothing; ⁵ and as ^[c]the women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why are you seeking the living One among the dead? ⁶ He is not here, but He ^(I)has ^[d]risen. Remember how He spoke to you ^(J)while He was still in Galilee, ⁷ saying that ^(K)the Son of Man must be handed over to sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise from the dead.” ⁸ And ^(L)they remembered His words, ⁹ and returned from the tomb and reported all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest. ¹⁰ Now these women were ^(M)Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James; also the other women with them were telling these things to ^(N)the apostles. ¹¹ But these words appeared ^[e]to them as nonsense, and they ^(O)would not believe ^[f]the women.
