1Where they appear
2The crucifixion
Jesus was crucified at Golgotha between two others, beneath a written charge naming him King of the Jews. Darkness covered the land from the sixth hour to the ninth, when he cried out with a loud voice and died.
The women report the empty tomb
At dawn the women found the stone rolled away and the body gone, and two men in dazzling clothing told them he had risen. Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James and others told the apostles, who did not believe them. Peter ran to the tomb and saw the linen strips lying by themselves.
