The Resurrection

Verse1When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so they could go and anoint the body of Jesus.

Verse2Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they went to the tomb.

Verse3They were asking one another, “Who will roll away the stone from the entrance of the tomb?”

Verse4But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away, even though it was extremely large.

Verse5When they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.

Verse6But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here! See the place where they put Him.

Verse7But go, tell His disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see Him, just as He told you.’”

Verse8So the women left the tomb and ran away, trembling and bewildered. And in their fear they did not say a word to anyone.

Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene

Verse9Early on the first day of the week, after Jesus had risen, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom He had driven out seven demons.

Verse10She went and told those who had been with Him, who were mourning and weeping.

Verse11And when they heard that Jesus was alive and she had seen Him, they did not believe it.

Jesus Appears to Two Disciples

Verse12After this, Jesus appeared in a different form to two of them as they walked along in the country.

Verse13And they went back and reported it to the rest, but they did not believe them either.

The Great Commission

Verse14Later, as they were eating, Jesus appeared to the Eleven and rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen.

Verse15And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.

Verse16Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.

Verse17And these signs will accompany those who believe: In My name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues;

Verse18they will pick up snakes with their hands, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not harm them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will be made well.”

The Ascension

Verse19After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.

Verse20And they went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked through them, confirming His word by the signs that accompanied it.
