| The Resurrection |
| 01 - Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. |
| 02 - And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. |
| 03 - And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. |
| 04 - And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: |
| 05 - And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? |
| 06 - He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, |
| 07 - Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. |
| 08 - And they remembered his words, |
| 09 - And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest. |
| 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. |
| 11 - And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not. |
| 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. |
| The Road to Emmaus |
| 13 - And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs. |
| 14 - And they talked together of all these things which had happened. |
| 15 - And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them. |
| 16 - But their eyes were holden that they should not know him. |
| 17 - And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad? |
| 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? |
| 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: |
| 20 - And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him. |
| 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. |
| 22 - Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre; |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 25 - Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: |
| 26 - Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? |
| 27 - And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. |
| 28 - And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further. |
| 29 - But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them. |
| 30 - And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. |
| 31 - And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. |
| 32 - And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures? |
| 33 - And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them, |
| 34 - Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon. |
| 35 - And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread. |
| Other Appearances |
| 36 - And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. |
| 37 - But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit. |
| 38 - And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? |
| 39 - Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. |
| 40 - And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet. |
| 41 - And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat? |
| 42 - And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. |
| 43 - And he took it, and did eat before them. |
| 44 - And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. |
| 45 - Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, |
| 46 - And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: |
| 47 - And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. |
| 48 - And ye are witnesses of these things. |
| 49 - And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high. |
| The Ascension |
| 50 - And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. |
| 51 - And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven. |
| 52 - And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy: |
| 53 - And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen. |
