22 However, certain women of our group, who went to the grave site early [Sunday morning] amazed us.
23 When they did not find Jesus’ body they came and told us that they had also seen a vision of angels who said Jesus was alive.
24 Then some of our companions [i.e., Peter and John. See John 20:2-9] went to the grave site and found things just as the women had said, but they did not see Jesus [either].”
