first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see
the sepulchre.
(Mat 28:2) And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel
of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone
from the door, and sat upon it.
(Mat 28:3) His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
(Mat 28:4) And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
(Mat 28:5) And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not
ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
(Mat 28:6) He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the
place where the Lord lay.
(Mat 28:7) And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen
from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there
shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.
(Mat 28:8) And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and
great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.
(Mat 28:9) And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met
them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and
worshipped him.

brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.
(Mar 16:3) And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the
stone from the door of the sepulchre?
(Mar 16:4) And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled
away: for it was very great.
(Mar 16:5) And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man
sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they
were affrighted.
(Mar 16:6) And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus
of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold
the place where they laid him.
(Mar 16:7) But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he
goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto
you.
(Mar 16:8) And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre;
for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any
man; for they were afraid.

earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?

you when he was yet in Galilee,
(Luk 24:7) Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of
sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
(Luk 24:8) And they remembered his words,
(Luk 24:9) And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things
unto the eleven, and to all the rest.
(Luk 24:10) It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of
James, and other women that were with them, which told these things
unto the apostles.
(Luk 24:11) And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they
believed them not.
(Luk 24:12) Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and
stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and
departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.
(Luk 24:13) And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village
called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.
(Luk 24:14) And they talked together of all these things which had happened.
(Luk 24:15) And it came to pass, that, while they communed together
and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.
(Luk 24:16) But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.
(Luk 24:17) And he said unto them, What manner of communications are
these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?
(Luk 24:18) And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering
said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not
known the things which are come to pass there in these days?
(Luk 24:19) And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto
him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed
and word before God and all the people:
(Luk 24:20) And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to
be condemned to death, and have crucified him.
(Luk 24:21) But we trusted that it had been he which should have
redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since
these things were done.
(Luk 24:22) Yea, and certain women also of our company made us
astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;
(Luk 24:23) And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that
they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.
(Luk 24:24) And certain of them which were with us went to the
sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they
saw not.
(Joh 20:1) The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early,
when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken
away from the sepulchre.
(Joh 20:2) Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the
other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken
away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have
laid him.
(Joh 20:3) Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and
came to the sepulchre.
(Joh 20:4) So they ran both together: and the other disciple did
outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.
(Joh 20:5) And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen
clothes lying; yet went he not in.
(Joh 20:6) Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the
sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,
(Joh 20:7) And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with
the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.
(Joh 20:8) Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to
the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.
(Joh 20:9) For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise
again from the dead.
(Joh 20:10) Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.
(Joh 20:11) But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as
she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,
(Joh 20:12) And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the
head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
(Joh 20:13) And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith
unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where
they have laid him.
(Joh 20:14) And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and
saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
(Joh 20:15) Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom
seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him,
Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him,
and I will take him away.
(Joh 20:16) Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith
unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
(Joh 20:17) Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet
ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I
ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
(Joh 20:18) Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had
seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.
(Joh 20:19) Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the
week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for
fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto
them, Peace be unto you.
(Joh 20:20) And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands
and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.
GOD RAISED UP JESUS THE THIRD DAY
(Act 10:39) And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in
the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a
tree:
(Act 10:40) Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;
(Act 10:41) Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before
of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from
the dead.
(Act 10:42) And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to
testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of
quick and dead.
