The stone was moved

Very early on the first day of the week, women go to the tomb with spices to finish a burial. They are not expecting anything; they are going to care for a body. The stone is rolled away and the tomb is empty, and two figures ask them why they seek the living among the dead — he is not here, but has risen; remember how he told you. The women are the first witnesses, in a culture where a woman's testimony carried no legal weight, which is precisely why no one inventing a story would write it that way. Mary Magdalene stays behind crying, mistakes him for the gardener, and knows him the moment he says her name. The disciples do not believe the women at first. Then they see for themselves.
