He rises from death
16
📚 And when the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought sweet-smelling spices, so that they could come and anoint him. 2 📚And very early in the morning on the first day of the week, they arrived at the tomb just as the sun was rising. 3 📚And they said among themselves, “Who will roll the stone away from the door of the tomb for us?”
4 📚And when they looked, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. 5 📚And going into the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a long white robe sitting on the right side, and they were frightened.
6 📚And he said to them, “Do not be afraid. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen. He is not here. See the place where they put him. 7 📚But go your way. Tell his disciples and Peter that he is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there, just as he said to you”.
8 📚And they went out quickly and ran from the tomb, for they were gripped by trembling and amazement. They did not say anything to anyone, because they were afraid.
He appears to His believers and instructs His disciples
9 📚Now after Jesus rose early on the first day of the week, he first appeared to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had driven seven demons. 10 📚And she went and told those who had been with him, while they were mourning and weeping. 11 📚And when they heard that he was alive, and had been seen by her, they did not believe it.
12 📚After that he appeared in another form to two of them as they walked along, going out into the countryside. 13 📚And they went and told it to the rest, but they did not believe them either.
14 📚Afterwards he appeared to the Eleven as they sat at the table, and rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen him after he had risen.
15 📚And he said to them, “Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to all creation. 16 📚He who believes and is baptized will be saved, but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17 📚And these signs will follow those who believe: They will drive out demons in my name; they will speak with new tongues; 18 📚they will pick up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not harm them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover”.
He ascends to heaven
19 📚So then, after the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was received up into heaven, and sat at the right hand of God. 20 📚And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the Word with the signs following them. Amen.
