And they said to him, `The things about Jesus of Nazareth, who became a man -- a prophet -- powerful in deed and word, before God and all the people, 20 how also the chief priests and our rulers did deliver him up to a judgment of death, and crucified him; 21 and we were hoping that he it is who is about to redeem Israel, and also with all these things, this third day is passing to-day, since these things happened. 22 `And certain women of ours also astonished us, coming early to the tomb, 23 and not having found his body, they came, saying also to have seen an apparition of messengers, who say he is alive, 24 and certain of those with us went away unto the tomb, and found as even the women said, and him they saw not.' 25 And he said unto them, `O inconsiderate and slow in heart, to believe on all that the prophets spake! 26 Was it not behoving the Christ these things to suffer, and to enter into his glory?' 27 and having begun from Moses, and from all the prophets, he was expounding to them in all the Writings the things about himself. 28 And they came nigh to the village whither they were going, and he made an appearance of going on further, 29 and they constrained him, saying, `Remain with us, for it is toward evening,' and the day did decline, and he went in to remain with them. 30 And it came to pass, in his reclining (at meat) with them, having taken the bread, he blessed, and having broken, he was giving to them, 31 and their eyes were opened, and they recognized him, and he became unseen by them. 32 And they said one to another, `Was not our heart burning within us, as he was speaking to us in the way, and as he was opening up to us the Writings?' 33 And they, having risen up the same hour, turned back to Jerusalem, and found gathered together the eleven, and those with them, 34 saying -- `The Lord was raised indeed, and was seen by Simon;' 35 and they were telling the things in the way, and how he was made known to them in the breaking of the bread, 36 and as they are speaking these things, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith to them, `Peace -- to you;' 37 and being amazed, and becoming affrighted, they were thinking themselves to see a spirit. 38 And he said to them, `Why are ye troubled? and wherefore do reasonings come up in your hearts? 39 see my hands and my feet, that I am he; handle me and see, because a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me having.' 40 And having said this, he shewed to them the hands and the feet, 41 and while they are not believing from the joy, and wondering, he said to them, `Have ye anything here to eat?' 42 and they gave to him part of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb, 43 and having taken, he did eat before them, 44 and he said to them, `These `are' the words that I spake unto you, being yet with you, that it behoveth to be fulfilled all the things that are written in the Law of Moses, and the Prophets, and the Psalms, about me.' 45 Then opened he up their understanding to understand the Writings, 46 and he said to them -- `Thus it hath been written, and thus it was behoving the Christ to suffer, and to rise out of the dead the third day, 47 and reformation and remission of sins to be proclaimed in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem: 48 and ye -- ye are witnesses of these things. 49 `And, lo, I do send the promise of my Father upon you, but ye -- abide ye in the city of Jerusalem till ye be clothed with power from on high.' 50 And he led them forth without -- unto Bethany, and having lifted up his hands he did bless them, 51 and it came to pass, in his blessing them, he was parted from them, and was borne up to the heaven; 52 and they, having bowed before him, did turn back to Jerusalem with great joy, 53 and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
• John 20:1-9 : 1 And on the first of the sabbaths, Mary the Magdalene doth come early (there being yet darkness) to the tomb, and she seeth the stone having been taken away out of the tomb, 2 she runneth, therefore, and cometh unto Simon Peter, and unto the other disciple whom Jesus was loving, and saith to them, `They took away the Lord out of the tomb, and we have not known where they laid him.' 3 Peter, therefore, went forth, and the other disciple, and they were coming to the tomb, 4 and the two were running together, and the other disciple did run forward more quickly than Peter, and came first to the tomb, 5 and having stooped down, seeth the linen clothes lying, yet, indeed, he entered not. 6 Simon Peter, therefore, cometh, following him, and he entered into the tomb, and beholdeth the linen clothes lying, 7 and the napkin that was upon his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but apart, having been folded up, in one place; 8 then, therefore, entered also the other disciple who came first unto the tomb, and he saw, and did believe; 9 for not yet did they know the Writing, that it behoveth him out of the dead to rise again. 10 The disciples therefore went away again unto their own friends, 11 and Mary was standing near the tomb, weeping without; as she was weeping, then, she stooped down to the tomb, and beholdeth two messengers in white, sitting, 12 one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been laid. 13 And they say to her, `Woman, why dost thou weep?' she saith to them, `Because they took away my Lord, and I have not known where they laid him;' 14 and these things having said, she turned backward, and seeth Jesus standing, and she had not known that it is Jesus. 15 Jesus saith to her, `Woman, why dost thou weep? whom dost thou seek;' she, supposing that he is the gardener, saith to him, `Sir, if thou didst carry him away, tell me where thou didst lay him, and I will take him away;' 16 Jesus saith to her, `Mary!' having turned, she saith to him, `Rabbouni;' that is to say, `Teacher.' 17 Jesus saith to her, `Be not touching me, for I have not yet ascended unto my Father; and be going on to my brethren, and say to them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father, and to my God, and to your God.' 18 Mary the Magdalene cometh, telling to the disciples that she hath seen the Lord, and `that' these things he said to her. 19 It being, therefore, evening, on that day, the first of the sabbaths, and the doors having been shut where the disciples were assembled, through fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith to them, `Peace to you;' 20 and this having said, he shewed them his hands and side; the disciples, therefore, rejoiced, having seen the Lord. 21 Jesus, therefore, said to them again, `Peace to you; according as the Father hath sent me, I also send you;'
