Where Do You Find Jesus?

Luke 24:1-12, NRSV

1On the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb, taking the spices that they
had prepared. 2They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3but when they went in, they did
not find the body. 4While they were perplexed about this, suddenly two men in dazzling clothes
stood beside them. 5The women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, but the men
said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen.
6Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, 7that the Son of Man must be handed
over to sinners, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.” 8Then they remembered his
words, 9and returning from the tomb, they told all this to the eleven and to all the rest. 10Now it
was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who
told this to the apostles. 11But these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe
them. 12But Peter got up and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths by
themselves; then he went home, amazed at what had happened.
