The document summarizes passages from Luke 24 that describe events following Jesus' resurrection. It recounts how Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James went to Jesus' tomb and found the stone rolled away and Jesus' body missing. They reported this to the apostles who did not believe them. Peter then went to the tomb and saw the burial cloths but did not find Jesus' body. It emphasizes that Christianity hinges on the veracity of Jesus' resurrection and encourages believers to pursue and listen to the risen Jesus.

2. Luke 24:1-4
But on the first day of the week, at early
dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the
spices they had prepared. And they found
the stone rolled away from the tomb, but
when they went in they did not find the
body of the Lord Jesus. While they were
perplexed about this, behold, two men
stood by them in dazzling apparel.

3. Luke 24:5-7
And as they were frightened and bowed
their faces to the ground, the men said to
them, “Why do you seek the living among
the dead? He is not here, but has risen.
Remember how he told you, while he was
still in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be
delivered into the hands of sinful men and
be crucified and on the third day rise.”

4. Luke 24:8-10
And they remembered his words, and
returning from the tomb they told all these

with them who told these things to the
apostles,

5. Luke 24:11-12
but these words seemed to them an idle
tale, and they did not believe them. But
Peter rose and ran to the tomb, stooping
and looking in, he saw the linen cloths by
themselves, and he went home marveling
at what had happened.
