But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came unto the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared.

9 And thei yeden ayen fro the graue, and telden alle these thingis to the enleuene, and to alle othir.
and returned from the tomb, and told all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest.
10 And ther was Marie Mawdeleyn, and Joone, and Marie of James, and other wymmen that weren with hem, that seiden to apostlis these thingis.
Now they were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the [mother] of James: and the other women with them told these things unto the apostles.
11 And these wordis weren seyn bifor hem as madnesse, and thei bileueden not to hem.
And these words appeared in their sight as idle talk; and they disbelieved them.

And certain of them that were with us went to the tomb, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.
