The Resurrection of Jesus^(A)

16 When the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, so that they might go and anoint Him. ² Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb at the rising of the sun. ³ They said among themselves, “Who will roll the stone away from the door of the tomb for us?”

⁴ But when they looked, they saw that the stone had been rolled away. For it was very large. ⁵ And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white robe. And they were frightened.

⁶ He said to them, “Do not be frightened. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen. He is not here. See the place where they laid Him. ⁷ But go your way, tell His disciples and Peter that He is going before you to Galilee. There you will see Him, as He told you.”

⁸ They went out quickly and fled from the tomb, for they trembled and were amazed. And they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.

24 Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they, and certain other women with them, came to the tomb bringing the spices they had prepared. ² They found the stone rolled away from the tomb. ³ But when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. ⁴ While they were greatly perplexed concerning this, suddenly two men stood by them in shining garments. ⁵ As they were afraid and bowed their faces to the ground, they said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? ⁶ He is not here, but has risen! Remember how He spoke to you while He was still in Galilee, ⁷ saying, ‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’ ” ⁸ Then they remembered His words.

⁹ And they returned from the tomb and reported all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. ¹⁰ It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and other women with them, who told these things to the apostles. ¹¹ But their words seemed like fables to them, and they did not believe them. ¹² But Peter rose and ran to the tomb. Stooping down, he saw the linen clothes lying by themselves. He departed, wondering in himself what had happened.

20 Early on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb while it was still dark and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb. ² So she came running to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have put Him.”

³ So Peter came out with the other disciple and they went toward the tomb. ⁴ They both ran together, and the other disciple outran Peter and came to the tomb first. ⁵ Stooping down and looking in, he saw the linen cloths lying. Yet he did not enter. ⁶ Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went inside the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying there, ⁷ and the cloth that was around His head, not lying with the linen cloths, but wrapped in a place by itself. ⁸ Then the other disciple, who came first to the tomb, went in also. He saw and believed. ⁹ For as yet they did not know the Scripture, that He must rise from the dead. ¹⁰ Then the disciples went away again to their own homes.
