Resurrection Morning
1On # Mt 28:1-10; Mk 16:1-11; Jn 20:1-18 the first day of the week, # Ac 20:7; 1Co 16:2 very early in the morning, they # Other mss add and other women with them came to the tomb, bringing the spices they had prepared. 2They found the stone rolled away from the tomb. 3They went in but did not find the body # Lk 12:4 of the Lord Jesus. # Lk 7:13; Ac 1:21 4While they were perplexed about this, suddenly two men stood by them in dazzling # Lk 2:9; 17:24; Ac 12:7 clothes. 5So the women were terrified and bowed down to the ground. # Lit and inclined their faces to the ground
“Why are you looking for the living among the dead? ” asked the men. 6“He is not here, but He has been resurrected! # Mt 26:32; Mk 5:41; 9:27; Jn 2:19; 1Co 15:4 Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee, # Mt 17:22-23; Mk 9:30-31; Lk 9:22,44 7saying, ‘The Son of Man must be betrayed # Lk 9:22,31,44; 18:32-33; 23:21 into the hands of sinful men, be crucified, and rise # Mt 17:9,23; Mk 8:31; 9:31; 10:34; Lk 18:33; 24:46 on the third day’? ” 8And they remembered His words.
9Returning from the tomb, they reported all these things to the Eleven # Ac 1:15-26; 2:14 and to all the rest. 10Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, # Mk 15:40; 16:1; Lk 8:2-3 and the other women with them were telling the apostles # Lk 6:13 these things. 11But these words seemed like nonsense to them, and they did not believe # Mt 28:17; Lk 24:41; Jn 20:25,27 the women. 12Peter, # Lk 6:14; Ac 10:32 however, got up and ran to the tomb. When he stooped to look in, he saw only the linen cloths. # Other mss add lying there # Lk 23:53 So he went home, amazed # Lk 1:21,63; 2:18,33; 4:22; Ac 2:7; 3:12 at what had happened.
The Emmaus Disciples
13Now # Mk 16:12-13 that same day two of them were on their way to a village called # Lit village, which name is Emmaus, which was about seven miles # Lit about 60 stadia ; 1 stadion = 600 feet # Rv 21:16 from Jerusalem. # Mt 23:37; Ac 8:1 14Together they were discussing everything that had taken place. 15And while they were discussing and arguing, Jesus Himself came near and began to walk along with them. 16But they # Lit their eyes were prevented from recognizing Him. # Lk 9:45; 18:34; Jn 20:14-15; 21:4 17Then He asked them, “What is this dispute that you’re having # Lit What are these words that you are exchanging with each other as you are walking? ” And they stopped walking and looked discouraged.
18The one named Cleopas answered Him, “Are You the only visitor in Jerusalem who doesn’t know the things that happened there in these days? ” # Ac 26:26
19“What things? ” He asked them.
So they said to Him, “The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, # Lk 4:34; 18:37; Ac 2:22 who was a Prophet # Dt 18:15; Lk 4:24 powerful in action and speech # Lk 4:14; Ac 1:1; 2:22 before God and all the people, # Lk 18:43 20and how our chief priests and leaders # Lk 23:13 handed Him over to be sentenced to death, # Lk 9:44; 18:32; Ac 3:13; 13:27-28 and they crucified Him. # Lk 23:21,25; Ac 5:30 21But we were hoping that He was the One who was about to redeem # Lk 22:20; Ac 1:6 Israel. Besides all this, it’s the third day # Lk 9:22; 13:32; 18:33 since these things happened. 22Moreover, some women from our group astounded us. They arrived early at the tomb, 23and when they didn’t find His body, they came and reported that they had seen a vision of angels who said He was alive. 24Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they didn’t see Him.” # Lk 24:12; Jn 20:2-10
25He said to them, “How unwise and slow you are to believe in your hearts all that the prophets have spoken! # Lk 16:31; 18:31; Ac 26:27; 2Pt 1:21 26Didn’t the Messiah have to suffer # Lk 24:44-48; 1Co 15:3-5 these things and enter into His glory? ” # Lk 9:26,32; 21:27; 22:69; Ac 2:33; 7:55; 22:11 27Then beginning with Moses # Gn 3:15; 12:3; 22:18; Nm 21:9; 24:17 and all the Prophets, # 2Sm 7:12-16; Is 7:14; 9:6; 52:13–53:12; Jr 23:5-6; Dn 7:13-14; Mc 5:2; Zch 9:9; 12:10 He interpreted for them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures. # Lk 16:16
28They came near the village where they were going, and He gave the impression that He was going farther. # Mk 6:48 29But they urged Him: “Stay with us, because it’s almost evening, and now the day is almost over.” So He went in to stay with them.
30It was as He reclined at the table with them that He took the bread, blessed and broke # Lk 9:16; 22:19 it, and gave it to them. 31Then their eyes were opened, # 2Kg 6:17; Lk 24:16 and they recognized Him, but He disappeared from their sight. # Jn 20:19,26 32So they said to each other, “Weren’t our hearts ablaze within us while He was talking with us on the road and explaining the Scriptures # Ac 17:3; 1Co 15:3-8 to us? ” 33That very hour they got up and returned to Jerusalem. They found the Eleven # Lk 24:9 and those with them gathered together, 34who said, # Gk is specific that this refers to the Eleven and those with them. “The Lord has certainly been raised, and has appeared to Simon! ” # Lk 22:32; 1Co 15:4-5 35Then they began to describe what had happened on the road and how He was made known to them in the breaking of the bread. # Ac 2:42
The Reality of the Risen Jesus
36And # Jn 20:19-20 as they were saying these things, He Himself stood among them. He said to them, “Peace # Lk 2:14; 7:50; 8:48; 10:5; 19:38; Ac 10:36 to you! ” 37But they were startled and terrified # Lk 24:5; Ac 10:4; 24:25 and thought they were seeing a ghost. # Mt 14:26 38“Why are you troubled? ” # Jn 14:1,27 He asked them. “And why do doubts arise in your hearts? 39Look at My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself! # Jn 20:25,27 Touch Me and see, # Mt 28:9; Ac 2:31; 17:18,31-32; 23:6-10; 24:15,21 because a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you can see I have.” 40Having said this, He showed them His hands and feet. 41But while they still were amazed and unbelieving because of their joy, He asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat? ” 42So they gave Him a piece of a broiled fish, # Other mss add and some honeycomb 43and He took it and ate in their presence.
44Then He told them, “These are My words # Lk 9:22,44; 17:25; 18:31-33; 22:37 that I spoke to you while I was still with you — that everything written about Me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, # Ac 13:15; 28:23 and the Psalms # Ps 2:6-9; 16:10; 22:1-18; 34:20; 41:9; 69:1-9,20-21,26; 110:1-7; 118:22-26 must be fulfilled.” 45Then He opened their minds # Lk 24:27,31 to understand # Lk 9:45; 18:34 the Scriptures. 46He also said to them, “This is what is written: # Other mss add and thus it was necessary that The Messiah would suffer and rise from the dead the third day, # Ps 16:10; Lk 9:22,44; 17:25; 18:32; Ac 8:26-40; 1Co 15:3-4 47and repentance for # Other mss read repentance and forgiveness of sins # Hs 14:2; Lk 3:3; Ac 2:38; 5:31; 8:22 would be proclaimed in His name to all the nations, # Gn 12:3; Ps 22:27; Is 2:2; 49:6; Hs 2:23; Mal 1:11; Mt 28:19-20; Mk 16:15 beginning at Jerusalem. # Ac 1:4-8 48You are witnesses # Ac 4:20,33 of these things. 49And look, I am sending you # Lit upon you what My Father promised. # Is 32:15; Jl 2:28-32; Jn 14:26; Ac 2:16-21; Eph 1:13 As for you, stay in the city # Other mss add of Jerusalem until you are empowered # Lit clothed with power # Ac 4:33; Rm 15:13 from on high.”
The Ascension of Jesus
50Then He led them out as far as Bethany, # Lk 19:29; Ac 1:12 and lifting up His hands # Lv 9:22; 1Tm 2:8 He blessed them. 51And while He was blessing them, He left them and was carried up into heaven. # Mk 16:19; Jn 20:17; Ac 1:9-11 52After worshiping Him, # Mt 28:17 they returned to Jerusalem with great joy. # Lk 2:10 53And they were continually in the temple complex praising God. # Other mss read praising and blessing God. Amen. # Ac 2:46; 3:1; 5:42

Jesus is alive
Jesus is alive
(Matthew 28.1-10; Mark 16.1-8; John 20.1-10)
1Very early on Sunday morning the women went to the tomb, carrying the spices that they had prepared. 2When they found the stone rolled away from the entrance, 3they went in. But they did not find the body of the Lord#24.3 the Lord: These words are not in some manuscripts. Jesus, 4and they did not know what to think.
Suddenly two men in shining white clothes stood beside them. 5The women were afraid and bowed to the ground. But the men said, “Why are you looking in the place of the dead for someone who is alive? 6Jesus isn't here! He has been raised from death. Remember that while he was still in Galilee, he told you,#Mt 16.21; 17.22,23; 20.18,19; Mk 8.31; 9.31; 10.33,34; Lk 9.22; 18.31-33. 7‘The Son of Man will be handed over to sinners who will nail him to a cross. But three days later he will rise to life.’ ” 8Then they remembered what Jesus had said.
9-10Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and some other women were the ones who had gone to the tomb. When they returned, they told the eleven apostles and the others what had happened. 11The apostles thought it was all nonsense, and they would not believe.
12But Peter ran to the tomb. And when he stooped down and looked in, he saw only the burial clothes. Then he returned, wondering what had happened.#24.12 what had happened: Verse 12 is not in some manuscripts.
Jesus appears. He is taken to heaven
Jesus appears to two disciples
(Mark 16.12,13)
13That same day two of Jesus' disciples were going to the village of Emmaus, which was about eleven kilometres from Jerusalem. 14As they were talking and thinking about what had happened, 15Jesus came near and started walking along beside them. 16But they did not know who he was.
17Jesus asked them, “What were you talking about as you walked along?”
The two of them stood there looking sad and gloomy. 18Then the one named Cleopas asked Jesus, “Are you the only person from Jerusalem who didn't know what was happening there these last few days?”
19“What do you mean?” Jesus asked.
They answered:
Those things that happened to Jesus from Nazareth. By what he did and said he showed that he was a powerful prophet, who pleased God and all the people. 20Then the chief priests and our leaders had him arrested and sentenced to die on a cross. 21We had hoped that he would be the one to set Israel free! But it has already been three days since all this happened.
22Some women in our group surprised us. They had gone to the tomb early in the morning, 23but did not find the body of Jesus. They came back, saying that they had seen a vision of angels who told them that he is alive. 24Some men from our group went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said. But they didn't see Jesus either.
25Then Jesus asked the two disciples, “Why can't you understand? How can you be so slow to believe all that the prophets said? 26Didn't you know that the Messiah would have to suffer before he was given his glory?” 27Jesus then explained everything written about himself in the Scriptures, beginning with the Law of Moses and the Books of the Prophets.#24.27 the Law of Moses and the Books of the Prophets: See the note at 16.16.
28When the two of them came near the village where they were going, Jesus seemed to be going further. 29They begged him, “Stay with us! It's already late, and the sun is going down.” So Jesus went into the house to stay with them.
30After Jesus sat down to eat, he took some bread. He blessed it and broke it. Then he gave it to them. 31At once they knew who he was, but he disappeared. 32They said to each other, “When he talked with us along the road and explained the Scriptures to us, didn't it warm our hearts?” 33So they got up at once and returned to Jerusalem.
The two disciples found the eleven apostles and the others gathered together. 34And they learnt from the group that the Lord was really alive and had appeared to Peter. 35Then the disciples from Emmaus told what happened on the road and how they knew he was the Lord when he broke the bread.
What Jesus' followers must do
(Matthew 28.16-20; Mark 16.14-18; John 20.19-23; Acts 1.6-8)
36While Jesus' disciples were talking about what had happened, Jesus appeared and greeted them. 37They were frightened and terrified because they thought they were seeing a ghost.
38But Jesus said, “Why are you so frightened? Why do you doubt? 39Look at my hands and my feet and see who I am! Touch me and find out for yourselves. Ghosts don't have flesh and bones as you see I have.”
40After Jesus said this, he showed them his hands and his feet. 41The disciples were so glad and amazed that they could not believe it. Jesus then asked them, “Do you have something to eat?” 42They gave him a piece of baked fish. 43He took it and ate it as they watched.
44Jesus said to them, “While I was still with you, I told you that everything written about me in the Law of Moses, the Books of the Prophets, and in the Psalms#24.44 Psalms: The Jewish Scriptures were made up of three parts: (1) the Law of Moses, (2) the Books of the Prophets, (3) and the Writings, which included the Psalms. Sometimes the Scriptures were just called the Law or the Law (of Moses) and the Books of the Prophets. had to happen.”
45Then he helped them understand the Scriptures. 46He told them:
The Scriptures say that the Messiah must suffer, then three days later he will rise from death. 47They also say that all people of every nation must be told in my name to turn to God, in order to be forgiven. So beginning in Jerusalem, 48you must tell everything that has happened. 49I will send you the one my Father has promised,#24.49 the one my Father has promised: Jesus means the Holy Spirit. but you must stay in the city until you are given power from heaven.#Ac 1.4.
Jesus returns to heaven
(Mark 16.19,20; Acts 1.9-11)
50Jesus led his disciples out to Bethany, where he raised his hands and blessed them.#Ac 1.9-11. 51As he was doing this, he left and was taken up to heaven.#24.51 and was taken up to heaven: These words are not in some manuscripts. 52After his disciples had worshipped him,#24.52 After his disciples had worshipped him: These words are not in some manuscripts. they returned to Jerusalem and were very happy. 53They spent their time in the temple, praising God.
