The Resurrection
(Mark 16.1–10; Luke 24.1–12; John 20.1–10)
1 After the Sabbath, as Sunday
morning was dawning, Mary
Magdalene and the other Mary went
to look at the tomb.
2 Suddenly there
was a violent earthquake; an angel
of the Lord came down from heaven,
rolled the stone away, and sat on it.
3 His appearance was like lightning,
and his clothes were white as snow.
4 The guards were so afraid that they
trembled and became like dead men.
5 The angel spoke to the women.
“You must not be afraid,” he said. “I
know you are looking for Jesus, who
was crucified.
6 He is not here; he
has been raised, just as he said.
Come here and see the place where
he was lying.
7 Go quickly, now, and
tell his disciples, ‘He has been raised
from death, and now he is going to
Galilee ahead of you; there you will
see him!’ Remember what I have
told you.”

8 So they left the tomb in a hurry,
afraid and yet filled with joy, and
ran to tell his disciples.
9 Suddenly Jesus met them and
said, “Peace be with you.” They
came up to him, took hold of his
feet, and worshiped him.
10 “Do not
be afraid,” Jesus said to them. “Go
and tell my brothers to go to Galilee,
and there they will see me.”
The Report of the Guard
11 While the women went on their
way, some of the soldiers guarding
the tomb went back to the city and
told the chief priests everything that
had happened.
12 The chief priests
met with the elders and made their
plan; they gave a large sum of money
to the soldiers
13 and said, “You
are to say that his disciples came
during the night and stole his body
while you were asleep.
14 And if the
Governor should hear of this, we
will convince him that you are innocent,
and you will have nothing to
worry about.”
15 The guards took the money and
did what they were told to do. And
so that is the report spread around
by the Jews to this very day.
Jesus Appears to His Disciples
(Mark 16.14–18; Luke 24.36–49; John 20.19–23;
Acts 1.6–8)
16 The eleven disciples went to the
hill in Galilee where Jesus had told
them to go. note
17 When they saw him,
they worshiped him, even though
some of them doubted.
18 Jesus drew
near and said to them, “I have been
given all authority in heaven and on
earth.
19 Go, then, to all peoples
everywhere and make them my disciples:
baptize them in the name of
the Father, the Son, and the Holy
Spirit, note
20 and teach them to obey
everything I have commanded you.
And I will be with you always, to the
end of the age.”
