nonsense and they didn't believe them. Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, however went running to the tomb. They ran
together, but the other disciple, running faster than Peter, reached the tomb first; he bent down and looking in saw the linen cloths
lying on the ground, but he did not go in.
Simon Peter who was following came up, bent down, saw the binding cloths but nothing else, went right into the tomb and saw the
linen cloths on the ground. He also saw the cloth that had been over his head rolled up in a place by itself and not with the other linen
cloths. Then the other disciple who reached the tomb first also went in and he saw and believed. For as yet they didn't understand the
scripture, "that he must rise from the dead". The disciples then went back home again and Peter wondered in himself what was going
happen.
Matthew 28:1-10; Mark 16:1-11; Luke 24:1-12; John 20:1-18

NARRATOR.
While they were on their way, some of the guards went into the city to tell the chief priests all the things that had occurred. They held
a meeting with the elders and after discussing the matter, gave the soldiers a large sum of money saying:
CHIEF PRIESTS and ELDERS.
Say that his disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were sleeping. And if the governor should hear about this,
we'll talk to him and persuade him so you don't get into trouble.

So they took the money and carried out their instructions and to this day, this story is commonly reported among the Jews.

NARRATOR.
That very same day two of them were on their way into the country to a village called Emmaus, which was about seven miles from
Jerusalem and they talked about all the things that had happened. And it occurred that as they were talking and reasoning together,
Jesus himself came up and went with them, but his identity was hidden from their eyes and they didn't recognize him. And he said to
them:
JESUS.
What are you discussing between yourselves that's making you so sad while you walk?
NARRATOR.
One of them, whose name was Cleopas answered him and said:
CLEOPAS.
Are you only a stranger in Jerusalem and don't know the things that have happened there these last few days.?
JESUS.
What things?
CLEOPAS and OTHERS.
The things concerning Jesus of Nazareth who proved to be a great prophet by the things he said and did in the sight of God and all the
people. And how the chief priests and our leaders handed him over to be sentenced and had him crucified. Our own hope had been
that he would set Israel free and besides all of this, today is the third day since these things were done. And this isn't all, some woman
from our group who were at the tomb early this morning have astounded us. When they didn't find his body they came back and told
us that they had seen a vision of Angels, which said that he was alive. Some of our friends who were with us also went to the tomb
and found it exactly as the woman had said, but they didn't see him.
JESUS.
