GOSPEL READING
Luke 24:1-12
Reader: The Holy Gospel according to Luke, the 24th chapter.
All: Glory to you, O Lord.
24 But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb,
taking the spices that they had prepared. 2 They found the stone rolled
away from the tomb, 3 but when they went in they did not find the
body. 4 While they were perplexed about this, suddenly two men in
dazzling clothes stood beside them. 5 The 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. 6 Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, 7 that
the Son of Man must be handed over to the hands of sinners and be
crucified and on the third day rise again.” 8 Then they remembered his
words, 9 and returning from the tomb they told all this to the eleven and
to all the rest. 10 Now it was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother
of James, and the other women with them who told this to the
apostles. 11 But these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not
believe them. 12 But 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.
Reader: This is the gospel of the Lord.
All: Praise to you, O Christ.
