during the third day rather than after the third day was completely over and
done with.

life.

the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not
find the body of the Lord Jesus.
. . .While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that
gleamed like lightning stood beside them. In their fright the women bowed
down with 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; he has risen! Remember
how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: "The Son of Man must
be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be crucified and on the third day
be raised again." Then they remembered his words.
• Luke 24:12-21 . . Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. Bending

They were talking with each other about everything that had happened. As
they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came
up and walked along with them; but they were kept from recognizing him.
. . . He asked them: What are you discussing together as you walk along?

him: Are you only a visitor to Jerusalem and do not know the things that
have happened there in these days? What things? he asked.
. . . About Jesus of Nazareth; they replied. He was a prophet, powerful in
word and deed before God and all the people. The chief priests and our
rulers handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him;
but we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. And
what is more, it is the third day since all this took place.
• Luke 24:41-46 . . And while they still could not believe it for joy and were

with you, that all things which are written about me in the Law of Moses and
