(Matthew 28:1–10; Luke 24:1–12; John 20:1–9)
1
And the Sabbath having past, Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of James, and Salome, bought spices, that having come, they may anoint Him,
2
and early in the morning of the first [day] of the weeks, they come to the tomb, at the rising of the sun,
3
and they said among themselves, “Who will roll away the stone out of the door of the tomb for us?”
4
And having looked, they see that the stone has been rolled away—for it was very great,
5
and having entered into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right hand, clothed in a long white robe, and they were amazed.
6
And he says to them, “Do not be amazed, you seek Jesus the Nazarene, the crucified [One]: He rose—He is not here; behold the place where they laid Him!
7
And go, say to His disciples and Peter that He goes before you to Galilee; there you will see Him, as He said to you.”
8
And having come forth quickly, they fled from the tomb, and trembling and amazement had seized them, and they said to no one anything, for they were afraid. [[
Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene
(John 20:10–18)
9
And He, having risen in the morning of the first of the week, appeared first to Mary the Magdalene, out of whom He had cast seven demons;
10
she having gone, told those who had been with Him, mourning and weeping;
11
and they, having heard that He is alive, and was seen by her, did not believe.
Jesus Appears to Two Disciples
(Luke 24:13–35)
12
And after these things, to two of them, as they are going into a field, walking, He appeared in another form,
13
and they having gone, told [it] to the rest; not even them did they believe.
The Great Commission
(Matthew 28:16–20)
14
Afterward, as they are reclining, He appeared to the Eleven, and reproached their unbelief and stiffness of heart, because they did not believe those having seen Him being raised;
15
and He said to them, “Having gone into all the world, proclaim the good news to all the creation;
16
he who has believed and has been immersed will be saved; and he who has not believed will be condemned.
17
And signs will accompany those believing these things: they will cast out demons in My Name; they will speak with new tongues;
18
they will take up serpents; and if they may drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the ailing, and they will be well.”
The Ascension
(Luke 24:50–53; Acts 1:6–11)
19
The LORD, then, indeed, after speaking to them, was received up to Heaven, and sat on the right hand of God;
20
and they, having gone forth, preached everywhere, the LORD working with [them], and confirming the word, through the signs following. Amen.]]
