But their understandings were darkened: for unto this day the same veil in their reading the old testament abideth unremoved; which veil is taken away by Christ. For unto this day, when Moses is read, the veil is spread over their hearts. Nevertheless, when Israel shall turn unto the Lord, the veil shall be taken away.

Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning those who are fallen asleep, that ye be not afflicted, as the rest [of mankind] who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died, and rose again, so also those that have fallen asleep for Jesus shall God bring with him. For this I say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left unto the coming of the Lord, shall not prevent those who are fallen asleep. read more.
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we who are alive, who remain, shall be caught up together with them into the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we be ever with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

NOW there was a sick man, Lazarus, of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. (It was the Mary who had anointed the Lord with the balm, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.) The sisters therefore sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. read more.
When Jesus heard it, he said, This sickness is not for death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified thereby. Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. Then, though he heard he was ill, yet notwithstanding he abode in the same place where he was two days. But after that he saith to his disciples, Let us go again into Judea. The disciples say unto him, Rabbi, the Jews have just now sought to stone thee; and art thou going thither again? Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he doth not stumble, because he seeth the light of this world. But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light with him. These things said he: and after that he saith to them, Our friend Lazarus is asleep; but I go to waken him up. Then said his disciples, Lord, if he is asleep, he will recover. Now Jesus had spoken of his death: but they apprehended that he spake of taking rest in sleep. Then Jesus therefore told them plainly, Lazarus is dead. And I rejoice on your account that I was not there, in order that ye may believe; but let us go to him. Then said Thomas, (called Didymus, the twin,) to his fellow-disciples, Let us go too, that we may die with him. Then Jesus, when he came; found that he had already lain in the tomb four days. Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off: and many of the Jews had come with the women who were about Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother. Then Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, met him: but Mary sat in the house. And Martha said to Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. But even now I know, that whatsoever things thou shalt ask of God, God will give thee. Jesus saith to her, Thy brother shall rise again. Martha saith to him, I know that he shall rise at the resurrection in the last day. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and every one who is alive, and believeth in me, shall never die to eternity. Believest thou this? She saith to him, Yes, Lord I believe that thou art the Messiah, the Son of God, who cometh into the world. So when she had thus spoken, she went away, and called her sister Mary privately, saying, The Master is near at hand, and calleth for thee. As soon as she heard it, she rose hastily, and came to him. Now Jesus was not yet come into the village, but was on the spot where Martha had met him. Then the Jews who were with her in the house, and comforting her, observing Mary, that she rose up hastily, and went out, followed her, saying, She is going to the tomb, to weep there. When therefore Mary was come where Jesus was, beholding him, she fell at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother would not have died! When Jesus then saw her weeping, and all the Jews who came with her lamenting, he groaned in spirit, and was himself greatly agitated: and he said, Where have ye laid him? They say to him, Lord, come and see. Jesus wept. Then said the Jews, Behold, how he loved him! But some of them said, Could not this man, who openeth the eyes of the blind, have caused that this person should not have died? Then Jesus again groaning in himself, cometh to the sepulchre. It was an excavation, and a stone lay upon it. Jesus saith, Remove the stone. The sister of the deceased, Martha, said to him, Lord, he is by this time putrid: for he hath been dead four days. Jesus saith unto her, Did I not tell thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shalt see the glory of God? Then they removed the stone where the deceased was lying. And Jesus lifted his eyes upwards, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me! And I knew that thou always dost hear me: but for the sake of the multitude standing by I spake, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. And when he had thus spoken, with a loud voice he cried, Lazarus, come forth! And the deceased came forth, his feet and his hands wrapped with the linen swathes; and his face bound round with a napkin. Jesus saith to them, Loose him, and let him go!

AND when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, purchased aromatics, that they might come, and anoint him. And very early on the first day of the week, they come to the sepulchre, as the sun was rising. And said among themselves, Who will roll away for us the stone from the door of the sepulchre? read more.
And looking again, they saw that the stone was rolled away, for it was vastly large. And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting at the right hand, clothed in a white robe; and they were greatly terrified. But he saith unto them, Be not affrighted, ye seek Jesus the Nazarean, who was crucified; he is risen, he is not here: behold the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples, and Peter, that he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him, as he told you. And they going out hastily, fled from the sepulchre, for trembling and astonishment had seized them: and they said not a word to any person, for they were affrighted. Now being arisen early, on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils. She going, told it to those who had been with him, as they were wailing and weeping. And they, when they heard that he was alive, and had been seen by her, gave no credit to her. Then after this, he was manifested under another form, to two of them as they were walking, and going into the country. And they came back and told the news to the rest; neither did they believe them. Afterwards he shewed himself to the eleven, as they were sitting at table, and upbraided them for their infidelity and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen him after he was risen.

NOW on the first day of the week, at the earliest dawn of day, they came to the sepulchre, bringing the aromatics which they had prepared, and certain others with them. And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. And on entering, found not the body of the Lord Jesus. read more.
And it came to pass, as they were in the greatest perplexity concerning this matter, then behold, two men stood by them in refulgent garments: and when they were exceedingly terrified, and inclined their face to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? he is not here; he is risen: remember how he spoke to you, while he was yet 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 rise again. And they remembered his declarations, and returning from the sepulchre, told all these things to the eleven, and to the rest. Now there were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and the other women who were with them, that told these things to the apostles. And their declarations seemed in their view as a mere fancy, and they gave them no credence. Then Peter rising up, ran off to the sepulchre, and leaning forward saw the linen clothes laid separately, and went away wondering in himself what was become of him. And behold, two of them were going the same day to a village, distant about sixty furlongs from Jerusalem, called Emmaus. And they were conversing with each other, concerning all those things which had happened. And it came to pass, as they were conversing together, and talking the matter over, even Jesus himself drew near, and walked on with them. But their eyes were under a restraint, that they might not discover him. And he said unto them, What are these discourses that ye interchange among you, as ye are walking, and bear such a face of dejection? Then one of them, named Cleopas, answering said, Art thou the only sojourner at Jerusalem, who hath not known the singular events of those days? And he said to them, Of what sort? and they said to him, Those which relate to Jesus the Nazarean, who was a man, a prophet, mighty in word and deed before God and all the people: and how our chief priests and rulers delivered him up to a sentence of death, and crucified him. But we had entertained hopes that this was the person who should have redeemed Israel: and ah! besides all these things, to-day concludes that third day since these things were done. And indeed, certain women belonging to us exceedingly amazed us who were very early at the sepulchre; and not finding his body, came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, who told them that he was alive. And some of those who were with us went to the sepulchre, and found every thing just as the women had said: but him they did not see. And he said unto them, O ye void of understanding, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Ought not the Messiah to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory? And beginning from Moses and all the prophets, he explained to them in all the scriptures, the things relating to himself. And they drew nigh to the village, whither they were going: and he was proceeding on, as if going farther. And they warmly pressed him, saying, Stay with us: for the evening draws on, and the day declines. And he went in to stay with them. And it came to pass, when he was sitting down at table with them, taking up a loaf, he blessed it, and breaking, distributed it to them. Then their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he became invisible to them. And they said to each other, Did not our hearts burn within us, as he talked with us on the road, and as he distinctly opened to us the scriptures? And rising up the same hour, they returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven and those who were with them crowded together, saying, The Lord is risen assuredly, and hath appeared to Simon. Then these recounted what had passed on the road, and how he was known to them by the breaking of the bread. While they were relating these things, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you! But terrified and affrighted, they thought they saw a spirit. And he said to them, Why are ye under such agitation of mind? and why do reasonings arise in your hearts? look upon my hands and my feet, that it is my very self: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. And thus speaking, he exposed to them his hands and his feet. But when they still could not credit it for joy, and marvelled, he said unto them, Have ye here any thing eatable? Then they gave him a part of a broiled fish, and a piece of honey-comb. And receiving it, he did eat in their presence. And said unto them, These are the sayings which I spake unto you, when I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which are written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the Psalms, concerning me. Then opened he thoroughly their understanding, that they should understand the scriptures, and said to them, That thus it is written, and thus must the Messiah suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day

And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many sick persons, and cured them.

Afterwards he shewed himself to the eleven, as they were sitting at table, and upbraided them for their infidelity and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen him after he was risen.

in order that all may honour the Son, just as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son, doth not honour the Father who sent him. Verily, verily, I say unto you, That he that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment; but is passed from death into life. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, yea, it is now, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. read more.
For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son also to have life in himself; and hath given him authority also to execute judgment, because he is the Son of man. Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in which all who are in the graves shall hear his voice, and they shall come forth; they who have done good actions to the resurrection of life; and they who have been guilty of foul practices, to the resurrection of damnation. I am not able to perform any thing by myself: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; for I seek not my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me. If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. There is another who beareth witness of me, and I know that his witness is true which he witnesseth concerning me. Ye sent to John, and he bore testimony to the truth. But I receive not testimony from man: but I speak these things, that ye may believe. He was a lamp glowing and luminous: and ye were pleased for a time to exult in his light. But I have a testimony greater than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me that I should fulfil them, these very works which I am doing, they bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. And the Father who sent me, himself hath borne witness concerning me. Ye have neither at any time heard his voice, nor seen his form. And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. Search the scriptures; for ye suppose in them ye have eternal life: and these are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. I receive not glory from men. But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. I have come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another come in his own name, him ye will receive. How can ye believe, who receiving honour one from another, seek not the honour which cometh from God alone? Do not suppose that I shall accuse you to my Father: there is one who is accusing you, even Moses, on whom ye place your hope. For if ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for of me did he write. But if ye believe not his writings, how will ye believe my words?
