1 uFor ver. 1-8, see Matt. 28:1-8; Luke 24:1-10; John 20:1,v[ch. 1:32] When the Sabbath was past,wch. 15:40 Mary Magdalene andwch. 15:40 Mary the mother of James andi[See ch. 15:40 above] SalomexLuke 23:56; [John 19:39, 40] bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him. 2 And very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb. 3 And they were saying to one another, “Who will roll awayych. 15:46 the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb? ” 4 And looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled back—zMatt. 27:60 it was very large. 5 Anda[John 20:11, 12] entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side,b[ch. 9:3; Dan. 7:9; John 20:12; Acts 1:10] dressed incRev. 6:11; 7:9 a white robe, anddch. 9:15 (Gk.) they were alarmed. 6 And he said to them,d[See ver. 5 above] “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen; he is not here. See the place where they laid him. 7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter thatech. 14:28 he is going before you to Galilee. There you will see him,ech. 14:28 just as he told you. ” 8 And they went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had seized them, and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.
9 [[Now when he rose early on the first day of the week,fJohn 20:14; [Matt. 28:9] he appeared first togLuke 8:2 Mary Magdalene,gLuke 8:2 from whom he had cast out seven demons. 10 hJohn 20:18; [Matt. 28:10; Luke 24:10] She went and told those who had been with him,iJohn 16:20 as theyjLuke 6:25 mourned and wept. 11 But when they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, theykLuke 24:11; [ver. 16] would not believe it.
12 lLuke 24:13-31 After these thingsmver. 14; [John 21:1, 14] he appeared innLuke 9:29 (Gk.) another form to two of them, as they were walking into the country. 13 oLuke 24:33-35 And they went back and told the rest, but they did not believe them.
14 Afterwardm[See ver. 12 above] he appearedpLuke 24:36; 1 Cor. 15:5 to the eleven themselves as they were reclining at table, and he rebuked them for theirq[Luke 24:41] unbelief andrSee ch. 10:5 hardness of heart, becausesver. 11, 13 they had not believed those who saw him after he had risen. 15 And he said to them, tMatt. 28:19 “Go into all the world anduCol. 1:23; [ch. 13:10; Acts 1:8; Rom. 10:18] proclaim the gospel tovRom. 8:22 the whole creation. 16 w[John 3:18] Whoever believes and isxJohn 3:5 baptizedyActs 16:31; Rom. 10:9; 1 Pet. 3:21 will be saved, butzver. 11; Luke 24:11, 41; Acts 28:24; 1 Pet. 2:7; [2 Thess. 2:12] whoeverw[John 3:18] does not believe will be condemned. 17 Anda[ch. 11:23] these signs will accompany those who believe:bActs 5:16; 8:7; 16:18; 19:12; See ch. 9:38 in my name they will cast out demons;cActs 2:4; 10:46; 19:6; 1 Cor. 12:10, 28, 30; 13:1; 14:2, 4 they will speak in new tongues; 18 dLuke 10:19; Acts 28:3-5 they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them;eSee ch. 5:23 they will lay their handsfActs 5:15, 16; 8:7; 9:12, 17; 28:8; James 5:14, 15; [John 14:12] on the sick, and they will recover. ”
19 So then the Lord Jesus,gActs 1:3 after he had spoken to them,hLuke 9:51; 24:51; John 6:62; Acts 1:2; 1 Tim. 3:16; [John 20:17; Eph. 4:8-10; Heb. 4:14] was taken up into heaven andiActs 7:55, 56; Rom. 8:34; Eph. 1:20; Col. 3:1; Heb. 1:3; 8:1; 10:12; 12:2; 1 Pet. 3:22; Rev. 3:21; See Matt. 22:44; Acts 2:33 sat down at the right hand of God. 20 And they went out and preached everywhere, whilejHeb. 2:3, 4; See 1 Cor. 3:9 the Lord worked with them and confirmedkSee ch. 4:14 the messagelSee Acts 5:12 by accompanying signs.]]
