3. but when they went in, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
4. While they were perplexed about this, suddenly two men stood beside them in dazzling attire.
5. The women were terribly frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead?
6. He is not here, but has been raised! Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee,
7. that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.”
8. Then the women remembered his words,
9. and when they returned from the tomb they told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.
10. Now it was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told these things to the apostles.
11. But these words seemed like pure nonsense to them, and they did not believe them.
12. But Peter got up and ran to the tomb. He bent down and saw only the strips of linen cloth; then he went home, wondering what had happened.
13. Now that very day two of them were on their way to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.
14. They were talking to each other about all the things that had happened.
15. While they were talking and debating these things, Jesus himself approached and began to accompany them
16. (but their eyes were kept from recognizing him).
17. Then he said to them, “What are these matters you are discussing so intently as you walk along?” And they stood still, looking sad.
