But we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, about those who are asleep, so that ye may not grieve, as also the others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and arose, so also those who became asleep through Jesus, God will bring with him. For this we say to you in the word of Lord, that we who are alive, who remain for the coming of the Lord, will no, not precede those who became asleep. read more.
Because the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with a voice of the arch-agent, and with a trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first, then we who are alive, who remain, will be caught up simultaneously with them in clouds to the Lord's gathering in the air. And so we will always be with Lord. Therefore encourage each other with these words.

Now a certain Lazarus, from Bethany of the village of Mary and her sister Martha, was sick. And Mary was the woman who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick. The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou love is sick. read more.
But when Jesus heard, he said, This sickness is not about death, but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified by it. Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. When therefore he heard that he is sick, then he actually remained two days in that place he was. Later after this he says to the disciples, Let us go into Judea again. The disciples say to him, Rabbi, the Jews were now seeking to stone thee, and thou go there again. Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If a man walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world. But if any man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him. He spoke these things, and after this he says to them, Our friend Lazarus has become asleep, but I go that I may awake him. His disciples therefore said, Lord, if he has become asleep, he will be healed. But Jesus had spoken about his death, but those men thought that he was speaking about the restfulness of sleep. Therefore Jesus then said to them plainly, Lazarus died. And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that ye may believe. Nevertheless let us go to him. Therefore Thomas, called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him. So when Jesus came, he found him already four days being kept in the sepucher. Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs away from it, and many of the Jews had come to the women, about Martha and Mary, so that they might console them about their brother. Therefore Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, met him, but Mary was sitting in the house. Martha therefore said to Jesus, Lord, if thou were here, my brother would not have died. But I know even now that as many things as thou may ask of God, God will give to thee. Jesus says to her, Thy brother will rise. Martha says to him, I know that he will rise in the resurrection at the last day. Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, even though he died, he will live. And every man who lives and believes in me will, no, not die, into the age. Do thou believe this? She says to him, Yes, Lord, I have believed that thou are the Christ, the Son of God who comes into the world. And when she said these things, she departed and called Mary her sister privately, saying, The teacher is here and calls thee. When that woman heard, she rises quickly, and comes to him. (Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met him.) The Jews therefore being with her in the house and consoling her, having seen Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying that she was going to the sepulcher that she may weep there. Therefore when Mary came where Jesus was, after seeing him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if thou were here, my brother would not have died. When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews who gathered with her, weeping, he groaned in the spirit, and was himself troubled. And he said, Where have ye laid him? They said to him, Lord, come and see. Jesus wept. The Jews therefore said, Behold how he loved him. But some of them said, This man who opened the eyes of the blind man, was he not also able to cause that this man also would not die? Jesus therefore again groaning in himself comes to the sepulcher. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it. Jesus says, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of the man who came to end, says to him, Lord, he smells now, for is the fourth day. Jesus says to her, Did I not to say thee, that if thou believed, thou will see the glory of God? So they took away the stone where the man who died was laying. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou heard me. And I had known that thou always hear me, but because of the multitude that stands by I spoke, so that they may believe that thou sent me. And having said these things, he cried out with a great voice, Lazarus, come out. And the man who died came forth, wrapped hands and feet with grave-clothes, and his face had been wrapped around with a face cloth. Jesus says to them, Loose him, and allow him to go.

And when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, so that having come, they might anoint him. And very much early morning on the first day of the week, they come near to the sepulcher when the sun was risen. And they said to themselves, Who will roll away the stone for us from the door of the sepulcher? read more.
And having looked, they see that the stone has been rolled back, for it was very large. And having entered into the sepulcher, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a white robe, and they were alarmed. And he says to them, Be not alarmed. Ye seek Jesus, the man of Nazareth who was crucified. He was raised. He is not here. Behold, the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter, that he goes before you into Galilee. Ye will see him there, just as he said to you. And having come out, they fled from the sepulcher, and trembling and astonishment seized them. And they said nothing to any man, for they were afraid. Now having risen early morning on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons. That woman, having gone, informed those who became with him, as they mourned and wept. And those men, when they heard that he is alive, and was seen by her, did not believe. And after these things he appeared in a different form to two of them as they walked going into the countryside. And those men having departed, they reported to the others. Neither did they believe those men. Afterward he became visible to them, to the eleven, who were relaxing. And he upbraided their unbelief and hard heart, because they did not believe those who saw him after he was raised.

And on the first day of the week, very early morning, they came to the sepulcher bringing the spices that they prepared, and some women with them. And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulcher. And having entered in, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. read more.
And it came to pass while they were bewildered about this, that behold, two men stood near them in shining apparel. And since they became frightened and bowing down their face to the ground, they said to them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but was raised. Remember how he spoke to you when he was still in Galilee, saying that the Son of man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day to rise. And they remembered his sayings. And having returned from the sepulcher, they reported all these things to the eleven, and to all the others. Now they were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told these things to the apostles. And their sayings appeared before them as idle talk, and they disbelieved them. But having risen, Peter ran to the sepulcher. And having stooped down, he sees the linen cloths laying alone. And he departed, wondering to himself at that which happened. And behold, two of them were going the same day to a village that was sixty furlongs away from Jerusalem, which name was Emmaus. And they conversed with each other about all these things that happened. And it came to pass, while they conversed and discussed, that Jesus himself also having approached, went along with them. But their eyes were held, not to recognize him. And he said to them, What are these words that ye toss back to each other, while walking and are looking sad. And one, whose name was Cleopas, having answered, said to him, Thou only visit Jerusalem and do not know the things that happened in it during these days? And he said to them, What? And they said to him, The things about Jesus the Nazarene, who became a prophet, a mighty man in work and word before God and all the people, and how our chief priests and rulers delivered him up for condemnation of death, and crucified him. But we hoped that he is the man who is going to redeem Israel. But even with all these things, it brings this third day today from which time these things happened. But also some of our women astonished us, having come to be at the sepulcher early morning. And not having found his body, they came, saying also to have seen a vision of heavenly agents who say he is alive. And some of those with us went to the sepulcher, and found it this way, just as also the women said, but they did not see him. And he said to them, O foolish men, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets spoke. Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory? And having begun from Moses and from all the prophets, he expounded to them in all the scriptures the things about himself. And they came near to the village where they were going, and he pretended to go further. And they constrained him, saying, Remain with us, because it is toward evening, and the day has declined. And he went in to remain with them. And it came to pass during his dining with them, that, having taken the bread, he blessed, and having broken in pieces he gave to them. And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And he became invisible from them. And they said to each other, Was not our heart burning within us while he spoke to us on the way, while he opened to us the scriptures? And having risen up the same hour, they returned to Jerusalem. And they found the eleven gathered together, and those who were with them who said, The Lord really was raised, and was seen by Simon. And they reported the things on the road, and how he was made known to them during the breaking of the bread. And as they spoke these things, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and says to them, Peace to you. But having seen startled, and having become frightened, they presumed to see a spirit. And he said to them, Why are ye troubled, and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Handle me and see, because a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as ye see me having. And having said this, he displayed to them his hands and feet. And while they still disbelieved from joy and wondering, he said to them, Have ye anything to eat here? And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish and from a bees honeycomb. And having taken it, he ate before them.

so that all would honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. The man not honoring the Son, does not honor the Father who sent him. Truly, truly, I say to you, that he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life. And he does not come into condemnation, but has passed from death into life. Truly, truly, I say to you, that an hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. read more.
For as the Father has life in himself, so also he gave to the Son to have life in himself. And he also gave him authority to execute judgment because he is a son of man. Marvel not at this, because an hour comes in which all those in the sepulchers will hear his voice, and will come forth, those who have done right to a resurrection of life, and those who have practiced wrong to a resurrection of judgment. I can from myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge. And my judgment is righteous because I seek not my will, but the will of the Father who sent me. If I testify about myself, my witness is not valid. There is another who testifies about me, and I know that the testimony that he testifies about me is valid. Ye have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth. But I do not take the testimony from man. However, I say these things, so that ye may be saved. That man was the lamp that burns and shines, and ye were willing to rejoice for an hour in his light. But I have testimony greater than of John, for the works that the Father has given me so that I might complete them, the same works that I do, they testify about me that the Father has sent me. And the Father, he who sent me, has testified about me.Ye have neither heard his voice, nor have ever seen his appearance. And ye have not his word dwelling in you, because ye do not believe that man whom he sent for this. Ye search the scriptures, because ye think to have eternal life in them, and those are testifying about me. And ye will not come to me, so that ye may have life. I do not receive glory from men. But I know you, that ye have not the love of God within yourselves. I have come in my Father's name, and ye do not accept me. If another man should come in his own name, ye will accept that man. How can ye believe, who receive glory from each other, and seek not the glory from the only God? Think not that I will accuse you to the Father. The man who accuses you is Moses, in whom ye have hoped. For if ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me, for that man wrote about me. But if ye believe not the writings of that man, how will ye believe my sayings?

And they said, Is this not the son of Joseph? And he said to them, Ye will doubtless say to me this proverb: Physician, heal thyself. How many things we heard that happened at Capernaum, do also here in thy fatherland. And he said, Truly I say to you, that not one prophet is acceptable in his fatherland. But in truth I say to you, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut up for three years and six months, when a great famine occurred on all the land.

For the law having a shadow of the good things that are coming, not the same substance of the events, with the same sacrifices that are offered continually each year, they are never able to fully perfect those who are approaching. Otherwise would they not have ceased being offered, because of those who worship, once having been cleansed, to have no further conscience of sins?

For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. Therefore when he comes into the world, he says, Sacrifice and offering thou did not desire, but thou prepared for me a body. In whole burnt offerings, and for sin thou were not pleased. Then I said, Lo, I come (in the volume of a book it is written about me) to do thy will, O God, saying above, Sacrifice and offering and whole burnt offerings and for sin thou did not desire, nor were thou pleased with things that are offered according to the law. Then he said, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He takes away the first, so that he may establish the second. By which will we are sanctified through the one time offering of the body of Jesus Christ.
