To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.
For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?

    1THE first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.

    2Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.

    3Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.

    4So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.

    5And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.

    6Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,

    7And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.

    8Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.

    9For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.

    10Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.

    11¶ But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,

    12And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

    13And 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.

    14And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.

    15Jesus 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.

    16Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.

    17Jesus 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 ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.

    1NOW upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.

    2And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.

    3And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

    4And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:

    5And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?

    6He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,

    7Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

    8And they remembered his words,

    9And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.

    10It 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.

    11And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.

    12Then 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.

    13¶ And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.

    14And they talked together of all these things which had happened.

    15And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.

    16But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.

    17And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?

    18And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, 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?

    19And 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:

    20And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.

    21But 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.

    22Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;

    23And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.

    24And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.

    25Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:

    26Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?

    27And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

    28And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.

    29But 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.

    30And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.

    31And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.

    32And 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?

    33And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,

    34Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.

    35And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.

    36¶ And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

    37But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.

    38And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?

    39Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

    40And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.

    41And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?

    42And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.

    43And he took it, and did eat before them.

    44And he said unto them, These are 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.

    45Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,

    46And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:

    47And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

    48And ye are witnesses of these things.

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

    50¶ And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.

    51And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.

    52And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:

    53And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.

    13And they went and told it unto the residue: neither believed they them.
