And they found 2 the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. And they 3 entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed there- 4 about, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: and as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the 5 earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen: remember how 6 he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, saying, 7 The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. And 8 they remembered his words, and returned from the sepul- 9 chre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.

And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him. 14 No. 320.

She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou 16 hast laid him, and I will take him away. Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rab17 boni; which is to say, Master. Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. And shet went and told the disciples that had been with him, as they mourned and wept, 5that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.

And they talked together of all these things which 14 had happened. And it came to pass, that, while they 15 communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them. But their eyes were holden that they 16 should not know him. And he said unto them, What 17 manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad? And the one of them, 18 whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days? he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people: and how 20 the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him. But we trusted 21 that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to-day is the third day since these things were done. Yea, and certain women also of our company 22 made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre; and 23 when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive. And certain of them which were with us went to 24 the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not. Then he said unto them, O fools, 25 and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, 26 and to enter into his glory? And beginning at Moses 27 and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. 1 Mk. xvi. 12. 2 Lu. xxiv. 13. Emmaus-despised,' or 'obscure.' Ought n.
