The Resurrection

(Matthew 28:1–10; Mark 16:1–8; John 20:1–9)

On theG3588 firstG1520 day of theG3588 weekG4521,1 very earlyG901 in the morningG3722, the women cameG2064 toG1909 theG3588 tombG3418, bringingG5342 the spicesG759 they had preparedG2090. 2They foundG2147 theG3588 stoneG3037 rolled awayG617 fromG575 theG3588 tombG3419, 3butG1161 when they enteredG1525, they did not findG3756G2147 theG3588 bodyG4983 of theG3588 LordG2962 JesusG2424. 4WhileG2532G1096G1722 theyG846 were puzzlingG639 overG4012 thisG3778, suddenlyG2400 twoG1417 menG435 inG1722 radiantG797 apparelG2066 stood besideG2186 themG846.

5AsG1161 the women bowedG2827 their facesG4383 toG1519 theG3588 groundG1093 in terrorG1096G1719, the two men askedG2036G4314 themG846, “WhyG5101 do you look forG2212 theG3588 livingG2198 amongG3326 theG3588 deadG3498? 6He isG1510 notG3756 hereG5602; He has risenG1453! RememberG3403 howG5613 He toldG2980 youG4771 while He wasG1510 stillG2089 inG1722 GalileeG1056: 7‘TheG3588 SonG5207 of ManG444 mustG1163 be deliveredG3860 intoG1519 the handsG5495 of sinfulG268 menG444, andG2532 be crucifiedG4717, andG2532 on theG3588 thirdG5154 dayG2250 rise againG450.’”

8ThenG2532 they rememberedG3403 HisG846 wordsG4487. 9AndG2532 when they returnedG5290 fromG575 theG3588 tombG3419, they reportedG518 allG3956 these thingsG3778 to theG3588 ElevenG1733 andG2532 to allG3956 theG3588 othersG3062. 10It wasG1510 MaryG3137 MagdaleneG3094, JoannaG2489, MaryG3137 theG3588 mother of JamesG2385, andG2532 theG3588 other womenG3062 withG4862 themG846 who toldG2036 this toG4314 theG3588 apostlesG652. 11ButG2532 theirG3778 wordsG4487 seemedG5316 likeG5616 nonsenseG3026 toG1799 themG846, andG2532 they did not believeG569 the women.

12

PeterG4074, howeverG1161, got upG450 and ranG5143 toG1909 theG3588 tombG3419. AndG2532 after bending downG3879 and seeingG991 onlyG3441 theG3588 linen clothsG3608, he went awayG565, wonderingG2296 toG4314 himselfG848 whatG3588 had happenedG1096.

The Road to Emmaus

(Mark 16:12–13)

13ThatG2532G2400G1722G3588 sameG846 dayG2250 twoG1417 ofG1537 themG846 wereG1510 goingG4198 toG1519 a villageG2968 calledG3739G3686 EmmausG1695, about seven milesG1835G4712G5682 fromG575 JerusalemG2419. 14TheyG846 were talkingG3656 withG4314 each otherG240 aboutG4012 everythingG3956G3778 thatG3588 had happenedG4819. 15AndG2532 asG1096 theyG846 talkedG3656 andG2532 deliberatedG4802, JesusG2424 HimselfG846 came upG1448 and walked alongG4848 with themG846. 16ButG1161 theirG846 eyesG3788 were keptG2902G3361 from recognizingG1921 HimG846.

17

He askedG2036 themG846, “WhatG5101 are you discussing so intentlyG3778G3588G3056G3739G474G4314G240 as you walk alongG4043?”

They stood stillG2476, with sadness on their facesG4659. 18OneG1520 of them, namedG3686 CleopasG2810, askedG611G2036G4314 HimG846, “Are YouG4771 the onlyG3441 visitorG3939 to JerusalemG2419 who does notG3756 knowG1097 the thingsG3588 that have happenedG1096 there inG1722 recentG3778 daysG2250?”

19“What thingsG4169?” He askedG2036.

“The eventsG3588 involvingG4012 JesusG2424 ofG3588 NazarethG3479,” they answeredG2036. “This manG435 wasG1096 a prophetG4396, powerfulG1415 inG1722 speechG3056 andG2532 actionG2041 beforeG1726 GodG2316 andG2532 allG3956 theG3588 peopleG2992. 20Our chief priestsG749 andG2532 rulersG758 delivered Him upG3860G846 toG1519 the sentenceG2917 of deathG2288, andG2532 they crucifiedG4717 HimG846. 21ButG1161 weG1473 were hopingG1679 HeG846 wasG1510 theG3588 One who wouldG3195 redeemG3084 IsraelG2474. AndG2532 besidesG1065 allG3956 this, it isG71 the thirdG5154 dayG2250 sinceG575G3739 these thingsG3778 took placeG1096.

22FurthermoreG235, someG5100 ofG1537 ourG1473 womenG1135 astoundedG1839 usG1473. They wereG1096 atG1909 theG3588 tombG3419 early this morningG3720, 23butG2532 they did not findG3361G2147 HisG846 bodyG4983. They cameG2064 and toldG3004 us they had seenG3708 a visionG3701 of angelsG32, whoG3739 said thatG3004 Jesus was aliveG2198. 24ThenG2532 someG5100 of our companionsG3588G4862G1473 wentG565 toG1909 theG3588 tombG3419 andG2532 foundG2147 it justG3779 asG2531 theG3588 womenG1135 had describedG2036. ButG1161 HimG846 they did not seeG3756G3708.”

25ThenG2532 Jesus saidG2036 toG4314 themG846, “OG5599 foolishG453 ones, andG2532 slowG1021 of heartG2588 to believeG4100 allG3956 thatG3739 theG3588 prophetsG4396 have spokenG2980! 26Was it not necessary forG3780G1163 theG3588 ChristG5547 to sufferG3958 these thingsG3778 and thenG2532 to enterG1525G1519 HisG846 gloryG1391?” 27AndG2532 beginningG756 withG575 MosesG3475 andG2532 allG3956 theG3588 ProphetsG4396, He explainedG1329 to themG846 whatG3588 was written inG1722 allG3956 theG3588 ScripturesG1124 aboutG4012 HimselfG1438.

28AsG2532 they approachedG1448G1519 theG3588 villageG2968 whereG3757 they were headedG4198, HeG846 seemedG4364 to be goingG4198 fartherG4206. 29ButG2532 they pleaded with HimG3849G846G3004, “StayG3306 withG3326 usG1473, forG3754 it isG1510 nearlyG4314 eveningG2073 andG2532G2235 theG3588 dayG2250 is almost overG2827.”

SoG2532 He went inG1525 to stayG3306 withG4862 themG846. 30WhileG2532G1096G1722 HeG846 was recliningG2625 at the table withG3326 themG846, He tookG2983 breadG740, spoke a blessingG2127 andG2532 brokeG2806 it, and gaveG1929 it to themG846. 31ThenG1161 theirG846 eyesG3788 were openedG1272 andG2532 they recognizedG1921 Jesus—andG2532 HeG846 disappearedG1096G855 fromG575 their sight.

32

They askedG2036 each otherG240, “WereG1510 notG3780 ourG1473 heartsG2588 burningG2545 withinG1722 usG1473 asG5613 He spokeG2980 with usG1473 onG1722 theG3588 roadG3598 and openedG1272 theG3588 ScripturesG1124 to usG1473?” 33AndG2532 they got upG450 that veryG846 hourG5610 and returnedG5290 toG1519 JerusalemG2419.

There they foundG2147 theG3588 ElevenG1733 andG2532 thoseG3588 withG4862 themG846, gathered togetherG4867 34and sayingG3004, “TheG3588 LordG2962 has indeed risenG3689G1453 andG2532 has appearedG3708 to SimonG4613!”

35ThenG2532 the two toldG1834 what had happenedG3588 onG1722 theG3588 roadG3598, andG2532 howG5613 theyG846 had recognizedG1097 Jesus inG1722 theG3588 breakingG2800 of theG3588 breadG740.

Jesus Appears to the Disciples

(John 20:19–23; 1 John 1:1–4)

36WhileG1161 theyG846 were describingG2980 theseG3778 events, Jesus HimselfG846 stoodG2476 amongG1722G3319 themG846 andG2532 saidG3004G846, “PeaceG1515 be with youG4771.” 37ButG1161 they were startledG4422 andG2532 frightenedG1096G1719, thinkingG1380 they had seenG2334 a spiritG4151.

38“WhyG5101 are youG1510 troubledG5015,” Jesus askedG2036G846, “andG2532 whyG1223G5101 do doubtsG1261 ariseG305 inG1722 yourG4771 heartsG2588? 39Look atG3708 MyG1473 handsG5495 andG2532 MyG1473 feetG4228. It isG1510 IG1473 MyselfG846. TouchG5584 MeG1473 andG2532 seeG3708—forG3754 a spiritG4151 does notG3756 haveG2192 fleshG4561 andG2532 bonesG3747, asG2531 you seeG2334 IG1473 haveG2192.” 40AndG2532 when He had saidG2036 thisG3778, He showedG1166 themG846 His handsG5495 andG2532 feetG4228.

41WhileG1161 theyG846 were still in disbeliefG2089G569 because ofG575 their joyG5479 andG2532 amazementG2296, He askedG2036 themG846, “Do you haveG2192 anythingG5100 hereG1759 to eatG1034?” 42SoG1161 they gaveG1929 HimG846 a pieceG3313 of broiledG3702 fishG2486,3 43andG2532 He tookG2983 it and ateG5315 it in front ofG1799 themG846.

44

Jesus saidG2036 toG4314 themG846, “TheseG3778 are theG3588 wordsG3056 I spokeG2980 toG4314 youG4771 while I wasG1510 stillG2089 withG4862 youG4771: EverythingG3956 mustG1163 be fulfilledG4137 thatG3588 is writtenG1125 aboutG4012 MeG1473 inG1722 theG3588 LawG3551 of MosesG3475, theG3588 ProphetsG4396, andG2532 the PsalmsG5568.” 45ThenG5119 He openedG1272 theirG846 mindsG3563 to understandG4920 theG3588 ScripturesG1124.

46AndG2532 He toldG2036 themG846, “ThisG3779 is what is writtenG1125: TheG3588 ChristG5547 will sufferG3958 andG2532 riseG450 fromG1537 the deadG3498 on theG3588 thirdG5154 dayG2250, 47andG2532 inG1909 HisG846 nameG3686 repentanceG3341 andG15194 forgivenessG859 of sinsG266 will be proclaimedG2784 toG1519 allG3956 nationsG1484, beginningG756 inG575 JerusalemG2419. 48YouG4771 areG1510 witnessesG3144 of these thingsG3778.

49AndG2532 beholdG2400, IG1473 am sendingG649 theG3588 promiseG1860 ofG3588 MyG1473 FatherG3962 uponG1909 youG4771. ButG1161 remainG4771G2523 inG1722 theG3588 cityG4172 untilG2193 you have been clothed withG1746 powerG1411 fromG1537 on highG5311.”

The Ascension

(Mark 16:19–20; Acts 1:6–11)

50When Jesus had ledG1806 themG846 outG1854 as far asG2193 BethanyG963, He lifted upG1869 HisG846 handsG5495 and blessedG2127 themG846. 51WhileG2532G1096G1722 HeG846 was blessingG2127 themG846, He leftG1339G575 themG846 andG2532 was carried upG399 intoG1519 heavenG3772. 52AndG2532 theyG846 worshipedG4352 HimG846 and returnedG5290 toG1519 JerusalemG2419 withG3326 greatG3173 joyG5479, 53praisingG2127 GodG2316 continuallyG1510G1223G3956 inG1722 theG3588 templeG2411.
