7. He said the Son of Man must be handed over to the control of sinful men, be killed on a cross, and rise from death on the third day.”
8. Then the women remembered what Jesus had said.
9. The women left the tomb and went to the eleven apostles and the other followers. They told them everything that happened at the tomb.
10. These women were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary, the mother of James, and some others. They told the apostles everything that happened.
11. But the apostles did not believe what they said. It sounded like nonsense.
12. But Peter got up and ran to the tomb to see. He looked in, but he saw only the cloth that Jesus’ body had been wrapped in. It was just lying there. Peter went away to be alone, wondering what had happened.
13. That same day two of Jesus’ followers were going to a town named Emmaus. It is about seven miles from Jerusalem.
14. They were talking about everything that had happened.
15. While they were talking, discussing these things, Jesus himself came near and walked with them.
16. (But the two men were not allowed to recognize Jesus.)
