Mary Magdalene and other women believers brought startling information to the apostles on Sunday morning. They claimed that the large stone at the entrance to Jesus’ tomb had been rolled away. And his body was not inside! The apostles doubted their story, but Peter ran out to see for himself. John followed him out, and both ran to the tomb. They each went in and saw that the tomb was empty. The grave cloths were there, but Jesus’ body was not.
Discussion Questions
