(6) He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. (7) And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.

Why seek ye the living among the dead? (6) He is not here, but is risen: remember 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,

(8) And they departed quickly from the 1 sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.

(8) And they went out quickly, and fled from the 1 sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid.

(9) And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him. (10) Then said Jesus unto them, 10 Be not afraid : go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

(3) Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and 1came to the 2 sepulchre. (4) So they ran both together and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the 2 sepulchre. (5) And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the

linen clothes lying; yet went he not in. (6) Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the 2 sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie, (7) and the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but 5 wrapped together in a place by itself. (8) Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the 2 sepulchre, and he saw, and believed. (9) For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.

(13) And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith

unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him. (14) And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. (15) Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. (16) Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master. (17) Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I as

(11) Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done.

(14) And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you. (15) So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.

(13) And behold, two of them 6 went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs. (14) And they talked together of all these things which had happened. (15) And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them. (16) But their eyes were holden that they should not know him. (17) And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye 11 walk, and are sad? (18) And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, 12 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, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty 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. (21) But we 18 trusted that it 14 had been he which should 15 have redeemed Israel and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done. (22) Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the 16 sepulchre; (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 went to the 16 sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not. (25) Then he said unto them, O 17 fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! (26) 18 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter his glory? (27) And beginning 19 at Moses and 20 all 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 made as though he would 21 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 22 tarry with them. (30) And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and

gave to them. (31) And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. (32) And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures? (33) And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,

(34) saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath 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.

(19) Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

ed, and supposed that they he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? (39) 8 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye 9 see me have. (40) And when he had thus spoken, he shewed him his hands and his feet. (41) And while they 10 yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here 11 any meat? (42) And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, 12 and of an honeycomb. (43) And he took it, and did eat before them. (44) And he said unto them, These are 18 the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. (45) Then opened he their 14 derstanding, that they might understand the scriptures, (46) and said unto them, Thus it is written, 15 and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: (47) and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning 17 at Jerusalem. (48) 18 And ye are witnesses of these things.
