The Resurrection

(Matthew 28:1–10; Luke 24:1–12; John 20:1–9)

1When the Sabbaton was over, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might come and anoint Him.^a 2Very early on one of the Sabbatons they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.^b 📊 Chart 📊 Chart 3They were saying to one another: "Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?" 4Looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away — although it was extremely large.

5Entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting at the right, wearing a white robe; and they were amazed. 6And he said to them: "Do not be amazed — you are looking for Yeshua the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen — He is not here. Behold, here is the place where they laid Him. 7But go, tell His disciples and Peter: 'He is going ahead of you to Galilee — there you will see Him, just as He told you.'"

8They went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had gripped them; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.

Yeshua Appears to Mary Magdalene

(John 20:10–18)

9Now after He had risen, at the earliest first part of the sabbaton, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom He had cast out seven evil spirits.^cd 10She went and reported to those who had been with Him, while they were mourning and weeping. 11When they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they refused to believe it.

Yeshua Appears to Two Disciples

(Luke 24:13–35)

12After that, He appeared in a different form to two of them while they were walking along on their way to the country.

13They went away and reported it to the others, but they did not believe them either.

The Great Commission

(Matthew 28:16–20)

14Afterward He appeared to the eleven themselves as they were reclining at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart^e, because they had not believed those who had seen Him after He had risen.

15And He said to them: "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. 16He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned^f. 17These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out evil spirits, they will speak with new tongues;^g 18they 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."

The Ascension

(Luke 24:50–53; Acts 1:6–11)

19So then, when the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.

20And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the word^h by the signs that followed. Amen.
