And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb,

And it happened that while they were perplexed about this, behold, two men suddenly stood near them in dazzling clothing,

And they remembered His words,

and when they returned from the tomb, they reported all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.

Now Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James and the rest of the women with them were there; they were telling these things to the apostles.

But these words appeared to them as nonsense, and they were not believing them.

And they were conversing with each other about all these things which had happened.

And it happened that while they were conversing and debating, Jesus Himself approached and was going with them.

And He said to them, "What are these words that you are discussing with one another as you are walking?" And they stood still, looking sad.

And He said to them, "What things?" And they said to Him, "The things about Jesus the Nazarene, who was a mighty prophet in deed and word in the sight of God and all the people,

and not finding His body, they came, saying that they had also seen a vision of angels who said that He was alive.

Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just exactly as the women also said, but Him they did not see."

And they approached the village where they were going, and He acted as though He were going farther.

But they urged Him strongly, saying, "Stay with us, for it is toward evening, and the day is now nearly over." So He went in to stay with them.

Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Him. And He vanished from their sight.

And they said to one another, "Were not our hearts burning within us while He was speaking to us on the road, while He was opening the Scriptures to us?"

And they stood up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and found gathered together the eleven and those with them,

And they were relating their experiences on the road and how He was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.

Now while they were telling these things, He Himself stood in their midst and *said to them, "Peace to you."

But being startled and frightened, they were thinking that they were seeing a spirit.
