Investigate for Themselves.

2 So she [Mary Magdalene] ran, and came to Simon Peter and the
other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have
taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid
him." 3 Peter therefore went out with the other disciple, and they were
going toward the tomb. 4 They both ran, but the other disciple outran
Peter and reached the tomb first. 5 And stooping to look in, he saw the
linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in. 6 Then Simon Peter
came, following him, and went into the tomb; and he saw the linen
cloths lying there, 7 and the napkin that had been around his head, not
lying with the linen cloths, but folded up in a place by itself. 8 Then
the other disciple, who reached the tomb first, also went in; and he
saw and believed. 9 For as yet they did not know the Scripture, that he
must rise from the dead. 10 Then the disciples went back to their
homes.

disciples that he has risen from the dead. And behold, he is going
before you to Galilee; there you will see him. Behold, I have told
you."

on the right side, dressed in a white robe; and they were alarmed. 6

they laid him. 7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going
before you to
Galilee; there you will see him, as he told you."

in dazzling apparel. 5 And as they were terrified and bowed their faces
to the ground, the men said to them, "Why do you seek the living among
the dead? 6 He is not here, but is risen! Remember how he told you
while he was still in Galilee, 7 'The Son of Man must be delivered into
the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise
again.'" 8 And they remembered his words.

stooped to look into the tomb. 12 And she saw two angels in white,
sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and the other
at the feet. 13 They said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She
said to them, "Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know
where they have laid him." 14 Saying this, she turned around and saw
Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus. 15 Jesus
said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?"
Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, "Sir, if you have
carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him
away." 16 Jesus said to her, "Mary!" She turned and said to him in
Hebrew, "Rabboni!" (which means, Teacher). 17 Jesus said to her, "Do
not hold me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my
brethren and say to them, "I am ascending to my Father and your Father,
to my God and your God.'"

happened. 12 When they had assembled with the elders and consulted
together, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers, 13 and said,
"Tell them, 'His disciples came by night and stole him away while we
were asleep.' 14 And if this comes to the governor's ears, we will
satisfy him and keep you out of trouble." 15 So they took the money and
did as they were instructed; and this story has been spread among the
Jews to this day.

They Disbelieve.

him, as they mourned and wept. 11 And when they heard that he was alive
and had been seen by her, they did not believe it.
LK 24:9-11
9 Then they returned from the tomb and told all these things to
the eleven and to all the rest. 10 It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary
the mother of James, and the other women with them, who told this to
the apostles. 11 But their words seemed to them like idle tales, and
they did not believe them.
JN 20:18
18 Mary Magdalene went and said to the disciples, "I have seen
the Lord!" And she told them that he had said these things to her.
