Resurrection Morning

¹ When^(C1) the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene,^(C2) Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so that they could go and anoint him. ² Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week,^(C1) they went to the tomb^(C2) at sunrise. ³ They were saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone from the entrance to the tomb for us?” ⁴ Looking up, they noticed that the stone—which was very large—had been rolled away.

⁵ When^(C1) they entered the tomb,^(C2) they saw a young man^(C3) dressed^(C4) in a white^(C5) robe sitting on the right side; they were alarmed. ⁶ “Don’t be alarmed,” he told them. “You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth,^(C1) who was crucified. He has risen!^(C2) He is not here. See the place where they put him. ⁷ But go, tell his disciples and Peter,^(C1) ‘He is going ahead of you to Galilee;^(C2) you will see him there just as he told you.’”

⁸ They went out and ran from the tomb,^(C1) because trembling and astonishment overwhelmed them. And they said nothing to anyone,^(C2) since they were afraid.

¹² After this, he appeared^(C1) in a different form to two of them walking on their way into the country.^{(C2) 13} And they went and reported it to the rest, who did not believe them either.

The Great Commission

¹⁴ Later he appeared to the Eleven^(C1) themselves as they were reclining at the table. He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who saw him after he had risen.^{(C2) 15} Then^(C1) he said to them, “Go into all the world¹⁶ Whoever believes¹⁷ And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues;¹⁸ they will pick up snakes;

The Ascension

¹⁹ So the Lord Jesus, after speaking to them,^(C1) was taken up into heaven^(C2) and sat down at the right hand^(C3) of God. ²⁰ And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the word by the accompanying signs.]
