with them, came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared. 2  But they found the

stone rolled away from the tomb. 3  Then they went in and did not find the body of the Lord

Jesus. 4  And it happened, as they were greatly perplexed about this, that behold, two men stood

by them in shining garments. 5  Then, as they were afraid and bowed their faces to the earth,

they said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? 6  He is not here, but is risen!...
