And we wish you not to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those that have fallen asleep, that you may not grieve as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also will God bring with him those that have fallen asleep on account of Jesus. For we tell you this by the word of the Lord, that we who live and remain till the coming of the Lord, shall not anticipate those that have fallen asleep, read more.
for the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ shall rise first, then we the living who remain shall be caught up together with them in clouds, to meet the Lord in the air; and so we shall be always with the Lord. Comfort one another, therefore, with these words.

A CERTAIN man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister. It was the Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hairs, whose brother Lazarus was sick. Then the sisters sent to him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom you love is sick. read more.
But Jesus hearing it said, This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified by it. And Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. When, therefore, he heard that he was sick, he continued in the place where he was two days. Then after that he said to the disciples, Let us go again into Judea. The disciples said to him, Rabbi, the Jews lately sought to stone you, and do you go there again? Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours of the day? and if one walks in the day he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world; but if he walks in the night he stumbles, because the light is not in it. He said these things, and after this he said to them, Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I go that I may awake him. Then they said to him, Lord, if he has fallen asleep he will recover. But Jesus spoke of his death; but they thought that he spoke of the rest of sleep. Then Jesus, therefore, said to them plainly, Lazarus has died; and I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, that you may believe; but let us go to him. Then Thomas, who is called The twin, said to the fellow disciples, Let us go also, that we may die with him. Then Jesus coming found that he had been four days in the tomb. And Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadiums [1 3-4 miles] distant. And many of the Jews came to those with Martha and Mary, to console them for their brother. Then when Martha heard that Jesus had come, she went out to meet him; but Mary sat in the house. Then Martha said to Jesus, Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died; but now also I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you. Jesus said to her, Your brother shall rise again. Martha said to him, I know that he will rise at the resurrection at the last day. Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life; he that believes in me, even if he has died, shall live, and no one who lives and believes in me shall ever die; do you believe this? She said to him, Yes, Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who comes into the world. And having said this she went away and called Mary her sister, privately, saying, The teacher has come and calls for you. When she heard, she arose quickly and came to him; but Jesus had not yet entered into the village, but was at the place where Martha met him. Then the Jews who were with her in the house and consoling her, seeing Mary that she arose and went out quickly, followed her, saying, She goes to the tomb to weep there. Then Mary, when she came where Jesus was, and saw him, fell down at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if you had been here my brother would not have died. Then when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he was greatly agitated in spirit and affected, and said, Where have you laid him? They said to him, Lord, come and see. Jesus wept. Then the Jews said, Behold, how he loved him. And some of them said, Could not this man who opens the eyes of the blind, cause that even he should not have died? Then Jesus again being agitated within himself came to the tomb; it was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. Jesus said, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of the dead, said to him, Lord, by this time he smells; for he has been dead four days. Jesus said to her, Did I not tell you that if you will believe you shall see the glory of God? Then they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted his eyes above, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me; and I knew that thou hearest me always; but for the sake of the multitude who stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. And having said these things, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. And the dead came forth, bound as to his feet and hands with bandages, and his face was bound with a napkin. Jesus said to them, Unbind him, and let him go.

And when the sabbath was passed, Mary the Magdalene and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, that they might come and anoint him.

And coming to the tomb they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed with a white robe; and they were astonished.

But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he goes before you to Galilee; there you shall see him as he said to you. And they went out and fled from the tomb; and trembling and amazement seized them; and they said nothing to any one, for they were afraid. AND having arisen early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary the Magdalene from whom he had cast out seven demons. She went and told those who had been with him, who were weeping and lamenting; and when they heard that he was alive, and had been seen by her, they did not believe it. Afterwards he appeared in another form to two of them as they walked, going into the country. And they went and announced it to the rest; they did not believe it.

And while they were in doubt about this, behold, two men stood by them in shining clothing. And [the women] being afraid, and bowing their faces to the earth, they said to them, Why do you seek the living with the dead? He is not here, but is raised. Remember how he told you while he was yet in Galilee, saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of wicked men to be crucified, and on the third day rise again. And they remembered his words; and returning from the tomb related all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest. And they were the Magdalene Mary, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and the others with them, who told these things to the apostles. And their words appeared to them like idle talk; and they believed them not. (Added verse not retained in Sawyer) And behold, two of them went the same day to a village about sixty stadiums [7 miles] from Jerusalem, called Emmaus; and they conversed together of all these things which had happened. And as they conversed and reasoned together, Jesus also himself approaching walked with them; but their eyes were restrained that they did not know him. And he said to them, What reports are these which you relate one to the other as you walk and are sad? And one of them answered, whose name was Cleopas, and said to him, Do you live alone at Jerusalem and not know the things which have occurred in it in these days? And he said to them, What things? And they said to him, The things relating to Jesus the Nazoraean, who was a prophet, mighty in work and word before God and all the people; and how our chief priests and rulers delivered him up to the sentence of death, and crucified him, But we hoped that he was the one who was to redeem Israel. But indeed, also, in addition to all these things, today is the third day since these things occurred; but some of our women also astonished us, who being early at the tomb and not finding his body, came, saying that they had seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive. And some of those with us went to the tomb, and found even as the women had said; and him they saw not. And he said to them, O foolish men, and of a mind slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken. Ought not the Christ to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory? And from Moses, and from all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself. And they approached the village to which they were going; and he pretended to be going farther. And they urged him, saying, Remain with us, for it is near evening, and the day is already past. And he went in to remain with them; and when he reclined with them, taking bread, he blessed, and breaking, gave them. And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished from their sight. And they said one to the other, Did not our hearts burn within us when he spoke to us on the way? when he opened to us the Scriptures? And rising up the same hour they returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven, and those with them, assembled together, saying, The Lord has risen indeed and has appeared to Simon. And they related the things on the way, and how he was known to them by the breaking of bread. And as they were saying these things he stood in the midst of them; and they being terrified and afraid, thought they saw a spirit. And he said to them, Why are you troubled? and why do doubts arise in your minds? See my hands and my feet, that I am he; feel of me, and see; for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see me have. (Added verse not retained in Sawyer) And while they yet disbelieved from joy, and wondered, he said to them, Have you any food here? And they gave him part of a broiled fish, and of a honeycomb; and taking it, he eat before them. And he said to them, These are my words which I spoke to you while I was yet with you, that all things written in the law of Moses, and Prophets, and Psalms, concerning me, must be fully accomplished. Then he opened their understanding to understand the Scriptures, and said to them, Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer, and rise from the dead on the third day,
