⥃The Resurrection ^{[ Matthew 28:1–10 † Mark 16:1–8 † John 20:1–9 ]}

[1] Now upon² the first [day] of the week, very early in the morning, they came³ unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain [others] with them. [2] And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.⁴ [3] And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.⁵ [4] And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men⁶ stood by them in shining garments: [5] And as they⁷ were afraid, and bowed down [their] faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living⁸ among the dead? [6] He is not here, but is risen: remember⁹ how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, [7] Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. [8] And they remembered his words,¹⁰ [9] And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.¹¹ [10] It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary [the mother] of James, and other [women that were] with them, which told these things unto the apostles.¹² [11] And their words seemed to them as idle¹³ tales, and they believed them not. [12] Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.¹⁴

⥃The Road to Emmaus ^{[ Mark 16:12–13 ]}

[13] And, behold, two¹⁵ of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus¹⁶, which was from Jerusalem [about] threescore furlongs. [14] And they talked together of all these things which had happened.¹⁷ [15] And it came to pass, that, while they communed [together] and reasoned, Jesus¹⁸ himself drew near, and went with them. [16] But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.¹⁹ [17] And he said unto them, What manner of communications [are] these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are²⁰ sad? [18] And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas²¹, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days? [19] And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning²² Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty²³ in deed and word before God and all the people: [20] And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.²⁴ [21] But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.²⁵ [22] Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;²⁶ [23] And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive. [24] And certain of them which were with us went²⁷ to the sepulchre, and found [it] even so as the women had said: but him they saw not. [25] Then he said unto them, O fools²⁸, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: [26] Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?²⁹ [27] And beginning³⁰ at Moses and all³¹ the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. [28] And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made³² as though he would have gone further. [29] But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.³³ [30] And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took³⁴ bread, and blessed [it], and brake, and gave to them. [31] And their eyes³⁵ were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight³⁶. [32] And they said one to another, Did³⁷ not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened³⁸ to us the scriptures? [33] And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found³⁹ the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them, [34] Saying⁴⁰, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath⁴¹ appeared to Simon. [35] And they told what things [were done] in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.⁴²

⥃Jesus Appears to the Disciples ^{[ John 20:19–23 † 1 John 1:1–4 ]}

[36] And as they thus spake, Jesus⁴³ himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace⁴⁴ [be] unto you. [37] But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.⁴⁵ [38] And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why⁴⁶ do thoughts arise in your hearts? [39] Behold my hands⁴⁷ and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for⁴⁸ a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. [40] And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them [his] hands and [his] feet. [41] And while they yet believed⁴⁹ not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have⁵⁰ ye here any meat? [42] And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. [43] And he took [it], and did eat before them.⁵¹ [44] And he said unto them, These⁵² [are] the words which I spake unto you, while⁵³ I was yet with you, that all⁵⁴ things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law⁵⁵ of Moses, and [in] the prophets⁵⁶, and [in] the psalms⁵⁷, concerning me. [45] Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,⁵⁸ [46] And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:⁵⁹ [47] And that⁶⁰ repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among⁶¹ all nations, beginning⁶² at Jerusalem. [48] And ye are witnesses of these things.⁶³

[49] [¶]And, behold, I send⁶⁴ the promise of my Father upon you: but⁶⁵ tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.

⥃The Ascension ^{[ Mark 16:19–20 † Acts 1:6–11 ]}

[50] And he led them out as far⁶⁶ as to Bethany, and he lifted⁶⁷ up his hands, and blessed them. [51] And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was⁶⁸ parted from them, and carried up into heaven. [52] And they⁶⁹ worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with⁷⁰ great joy: [53] And were contin⁷¹ually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen⁷².
