Matthew 28:1-10 - Jesus Is Raised

Matthew 28:1-10

1 Now after the Sabbath, at the dawning on the first [day] of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to view the tomb. 2 And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came up [and] rolled away the stone and sat down on it. 3 Now his appearance was like lightning and his clothing white as snow. 4 And the guards trembled from the fear of him and became like dead men.

5 But the angel answered [and] said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6 He is not here, for he has been raised, just as he said. Come, see the place where he was lying. 7 And go quickly, tell his disciples, 'He has been raised from the dead, and behold, he is going ahead of you into Galilee. You will see him there.' Behold, I have told you."

8 And they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, [and] ran to tell his disciples. 9 And behold, Jesus met them, saying, "Greetings!" And they came up [and] took hold of his feet and worshiped him. 10 Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid! Go tell my brothers that they should go to Galilee, and there they will see me."

Mark 16:1-8

1 And [when] the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the [mother] of James, and Salome purchased fragrant spices so that they could go [and] anoint him. 2 And very early in the morning on the first [day] of the week they came to the tomb [after] the sun had risen. 3 And they were saying to one another, "Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?" 4 And [when they] looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away (for it was very large). 5 And [as they] were going into the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.

6 But he said to them, "Do not be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene who was crucified. He has been raised, he is not here! See the place where they laid him! 7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there, just as he told you."

8 And they went out [and] fled from the tomb, because trembling and amazement had seized them. And they said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.

Luke 24:1-12

1 Now on the first [day] of the week, at very early dawn, they came back to the tomb bringing the fragrant spices which they had prepared. 2 And they found the stone had been rolled away from the tomb, 3 but [when they] went in, they did not find the body. 4 And it happened that while they were perplexed about this, behold, two men in gleaming clothing stood near them. 5 And [as] they were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, they said to them, "Why are you looking for the living among the dead? 6 He is not here, but has been raised! Remember how he spoke to you [while he] was still in Galilee, 7 saying that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of men [who are] sinners, and be crucified, and on the third day rise?" 8 And they remembered his words,

9 and [when they] returned from the tomb, they reported all these [things] to the eleven and to all the rest. 10 Now Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the [mother] of James and the others with them were telling these [things] to the apostles. 11 And these words appeared to them as nonsense, and they refused to believe them. 12 But Peter got up [and] ran to the tomb, and bending over to look, he saw only the [strips of] linen cloth, and he went away to his home wondering what had happened.

John 20:1-9

1 Now on the first [day] of the week, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, [while it] was still dark, and saw the stone had been taken away from the tomb. 2 So she ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved and said to them, "They have taken away the Lord from the tomb and we do not know where they have put him!"

3 Then Peter and the other disciple went out and were going to the tomb. 4 And the two were running together, and the other disciple ran ahead, faster than Peter, and came to the tomb first. 5 And bending over to look, he saw the [strips of] linen cloth lying there, though he did not go in. 6 Then Simon Peter also came following him, and he went into the tomb and saw the [strips of] linen cloth lying there, 7 and the facecloth that was on his head--not lying with the [strips of] linen cloth, but folded up separately in one place. 8 So then the other disciple who had come to the tomb first also went in, and he saw and believed. 9 (For they did not yet know the scripture that it was necessary for him to rise from the dead.)
