The Resurrection

Saturday evening, when the Sabbath ended, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome went out and purchased burial spices so they could anoint Jesus’ body.

2

Very early on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.

2

Very early on Sunday morning,a just at sunrise, they went to the tomb.

3

They were saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?”

3

On the way they were asking each other, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?”

4

Looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away, although it was extremely large.

4

But as they arrived, they looked up and saw that the stone, which was very large, had already been rolled aside.

5

Entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting at the right, wearing a white robe; and they were amazed.

5

When they entered the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a white robe sitting on the right side. The women were shocked,

6

And he said to them, “Do not be amazed; you are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen; He is not here; behold, here is the place where they laid Him.

6

but the angel said, “Don’t be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth,b who was crucified. He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead! Look, this is where they laid his body.

7

“But go, tell His disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see Him, just as He told you.’”

7

Now go and tell his disciples, including Peter, that Jesus is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there, just as he told you before he died.”

8

They went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had gripped them; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.

8

The women fled from the tomb, trembling and bewildered, and they said nothing to anyone because they were too frightened.c

Then they briefly reported all this to Peter and his companions. Afterward Jesus himself sent them out from east to west with the sacred and unfailing message of salvation that gives eternal life. Amen.

9

[Now after He had risen early on the first day of the week, He first appeared to Mary Magdalene, from whom He had cast out seven demons.

9

After Jesus rose from the dead early on Sunday morning, the first person who saw him was Mary Magdalene, the woman from whom he had cast out seven demons.

10

She went and reported to those who had been with Him, while they were mourning and weeping.

10

She went to the disciples, who were grieving and weeping, and told them what had happened.

11

When they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they refused to believe it.

11

But when she told them that Jesus was alive and she had seen him, they didn’t believe her.

12

After that, He appeared in a different form to two of them while they were walking along on their way to the country.

12

Afterward he appeared in a different form to two of his followers who were walking from Jerusalem into the country.

13

They went away and reported it to the others, but they did not believe them either.

13

They rushed back to tell the others, but no one believed them.

14

The Disciples Commissioned

Afterward He appeared to the eleven themselves as they were reclining at the table; and He reproached them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who had seen Him after He had risen.

14

Still later he appeared to the eleven disciples as they were eating together. He rebuked them for their stubborn unbelief because they refused to believe those who had seen him after he had been raised from the dead.d

15

And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.

15

And then he told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone.

16

“He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned.

16

Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned.

17

“These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues;

17

These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe: They will cast out demons in my name, and they will speak in new languages.e

18

they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

18

They will be able to handle snakes with safety, and if they drink anything poisonous, it won’t hurt them. They will be able to place their hands on the sick, and they will be healed.”

19

So then, when the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.

19

When the Lord Jesus had finished talking with them, he was taken up into heaven and sat down in the place of honor at God’s right hand.

20

And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them, and confirmed the word by the signs that followed.]
[And they promptly reported all these instructions to Peter and his companions. And after that, Jesus Himself sent out through them from east to west the sacred and imperishable proclamation of eternal salvation.]

20

And the disciples went everywhere and preached, and the Lord worked through them, confirming what they said by many miraculous signs.
