1Now when the Sabbath was past, ³³⁷Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, in order to go and anoint Jesus. ³³⁸

2Very early on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.

3And they were saying among themselves, “Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?”

4(because it was very large), but when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away!

5Upon entering the tomb they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.

6But he said to them: “Don't be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus the Natsarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He isn't here! See, the place where they laid Him.

7But go, tell His disciples, also Peter: ‘He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him, as He said to you.’ ”

8Trembling and bewildered they went out and fled from the tomb; and they said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid. ³³⁹

Jesus appears to the Magdalene, first

9Having risen early on the first day of the week, Jesus ³⁴⁰appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had cast seven demons.

10She went and reported to those who had been with Him, as they were mourning and weeping.

11When they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe.

Emmaus16:12 We have no objective way to know if this was before or after the appearance to Peter—the second was to the women (Matthew 28:9-10).

12After these things He appeared in a different form to two of them as they were walking, going into the country.

13So they returned and reported to the rest; neither did they believe them. ³⁴¹

Jesus appears to the ‘Eleven’, fifth

14Later He appeared to the eleven as they were reclining at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen.

15Then He said to them: “Go to the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to all creation.

16He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.

17And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new languages;

18they will remove ‘snakes’; ³⁴²and if they drink anything deadly, it will not hurt them at all; ³⁴³they will lay hands on sick people, and they will get well.” ³⁴⁴

19So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven and sat down at God's right.

20And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the message by the accompanying signs. Amen. ³⁴⁵
