4. And it came to pass as they were in perplexity about it, that behold, two men suddenly stood by them in shining raiment.
5. And as they were filled with fear and bowed their faces to the ground, they said to them, Why seek ye the living one among the dead?
6. He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spoke to you, being yet in Galilee,
7. saying, The Son of man must be delivered up into the hands of sinners, and be crucified, and rise the third day.
8. And they remembered his words;
9. and, returning from the sepulchre, related all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.
10. Now it was Mary of Magdala, and Johanna, and Mary the mother of James, and the others with them, who told these things to the apostles.
11. And their words appeared in their eyes as an idle tale, and they disbelieved them.

19. And he said to them, What things? And they said to him, The things concerning Jesus the Nazaraean, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people;
20. and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to the judgment of death and crucified him.
21. But we had hoped that he was the one who is about to redeem Israel. But then, besides all these things, it is now, to-day, the third day since these things took place.
